| Close to old school style efreeti is a win for me, :)
Uncommon irebats will be hard to collect i reckon | |

| I think the clear stalk (like the bat familiar) would have been better, but it's still an ok mini. The Efreeti is very cool IMHO,

| Excellant Preview. I really like the Efreeti. Another Titan beater, woot. Seems a little pricy, but has a lot of damage output. Did anyone notice the mention of an Orc Zombie and Ravenous Dire Rat (the 3 pt mini in AtG?). Two more pieces for the set?

Very sharp, missed that one, I hope the dire rat is small

YES! Me wants! The firebat looks ok. don't think I'll have a use for him.. or the efreeti. | |

I do, the last one was medium, so not really perfect IMHO.

| HAWT!
(total pun intended)
As far as looks good, these two are great. This efreeti is much better looking than the Angelfire 'pool side'* efreeti. Love the look of the fire bat. Hopefully I can get 10 of those.
Really cool that Peter dropped the hint of the Orc Zombie and Ravenous Dire Rat. The trend continues: a rat in every huge set!
*'Pool side' was the nickname I gave the efreeti I pulled at the AF prerelease. The speedo and thick gold chain and honkin' large medallion just said 'pool side.'

We sure do! I had 30 dire rats and 30 diseased dire rats at one point. I've whittle them down to 10 each, so I need more to go with those 2 rat packs and my swarms! | |

| Not a fan of the Efreeti, but I'll get one for variety.
Firebat is OK as well.
OK with another rat. | |

| I like the idea that the Efreet can use his first champion power to turn an enemy's damage into fire so that he can resist 10 of it. He looks like a very interesting titan with his ranged attack and ability to teleport around.
The fire bat I'm mostly excited for because of rpg. I think it will be a very cool critter to throw at PC's.

| I like the look of the old Efreeti better, though this one still looks pretty good if maybe a bit oversized. I'm glad they didn't use clear plastic for the sword, but I remain stupefied as to how it is that they got a flaming sword done perfectly way back in Dragoneye (on an Unc. no less) and haven't been able to duplicate that since.
Fire bat looks pretty nifty even if I had really been hoping the silhouette was a winged snake. I'll prolly snag 3-4. | |

| The pink color of the Efreet is what annoys me the most. Its nice seeing an efreet with legs, but I wish they would have colored him more like the AF one. Its still a good mini, just not as good as I wanted it to be.

| I like the flame bat and the efreeti. I can't see myself using a whole heck of a lot of either though. Probably one Efreeti and 4-5 bats for me. This is probably a good thing. It looks like the singles market is kind of high priced for this set from what I've seen so far. Two huge dragons are going to be especially hard on the pocketbook I think.

| Hi Everyone,
Like the Efreet. The firebat is OK. Maybe I will warm to it.
(That would be a quarter in the pot. Username owes one too  )

| | The Fire Bat reminds me of a cross between the Bat Familiar and the Phoera. The stats of the Efreeti look very strong. | |

| The Efreeti is nice looking with legs, okay with the flaming sword but would've been fine without.
Firebat is fine, another clear plastic fire creature that have generally turned out pretty well in DDM so far.
Overall it was nice this time around that the previews were on time, & that they included the stat cards.
Thanks for the effort Peter! | |
