If you've been waiting for your fix of classic D&D monsters, then wait no longer... check out the new D&D Miniatures Collectors Series coming soon from Gale Force Nine!
From the Battlefront Press Release:
Today it gives me great pleasure to announce the upcoming release of a new line of products in support of Wizards of the Coast’s Dungeons & Dragons brand.
We have been given the opportunity to bring to life a series of D&D miniatures models, the likes of which the world has never seen.
The Dungeons & Dragons Collector’s Series is a line of high quality, unpainted, limited edition resin miniatures sculpted by some of the best names in the industry.
We’d like to shine the spotlight on three product configurations.
- Monsters (something big)
- Duels (two creatures)
- Adventuring Parties (groups of creatures)
Our current plan is to release two limited edition products each month beginning this fall.
The initial series of releases will highlight the Underdark theme and focus on all manner of denizens you may find there.
Including:
- A Purple Worm
- Drow Raiding Party
- Lolth & Eclavadra
- Illithid Raiding Party
- A Beholder, Eye Tyrant
- Lolth In Spider Form
The Dungeons & Dragons Collector’s Series will evolve to mirror themes brought to you by Wizards of the Coast, with miniatures that bring your story to life.

that Beholder looks well painted. I can see myself using them.
They had me going until the words “limited edition” popped up. I really hate the idea of limited edition models.
@dais Now you got me going why don’t you like limited edition?
@huscarle I think it is silly to make a mold already made and decide “we are only going to produce 1500 of this item instead of respond to customer demand.” This is doubly true with a well-known brand like D&D.
In my opinion limited edition models turn off later converts to a line since they will have missed their chance at some of the earlier models. They also punish people for not having disposable income at all times and encourage frequent small orders that cost much more shipping in total.
I see what you mean now especially about the later converts It can be hard enough trying to generate some interest in a game system without adding more barriers.
I wish that GF9 have a shop/distributor in Poland
I to am not a great fan of “limited edition”. That coupled with “collectors series” means that I’m going to be priced out of the range. And that is a shame, those are some great looking minis.
Would really be interested in these. Limited numbers and probability of being released in America…..would probably have to pay over the odds….maybe the limited numbers are just to test the market for this product…fingers crossed.
