  run you fool! Nice, but I can see mold-lines on its head. Good job, as always.

Very cool, but what the devil do you intend to use it for?

Me too. I was too impatient to get it painted, as I mentioned in the review the lines are not so noticeable when it isn't being directly lit from above with strong light for the photos.

Spugs.

I can compare with that form of impatience, unfortunately .

Man it's huge! I remember them from good old D&D times, but I've never imagined them to be like the worms from Dune... Even though the description hints at that, I've just checked the entry in my old rulebook.

The plastic pre-paint D&D one is quite nice too.

Here's one repainted I used in a Wargods of Aegyptus game recently as a treasure guardian.

Wow, cool. I've never heard of the pre-painted D&D minis. Have to look them up.

Cool - and quite a miniature - the blind begger figure was one that I had some years ago, I can remember painting him and playing with him!

I've attached a Blog entry link, where I have also re-painted the D&D miniature.

Made by Wizards of the Coast, some of the range is easy to find on ebay.

Thanks for the info. I'll have a look.

I really love the Otherworlds Minis. I saw a dungeon room on the Hirst Arts forum where the guy used the Demon Idol and basically made a room like the old first edition AD&D Players Handbook cover.

Otherworlds does mniatures based upon the illustrations in the first edition Advanced Dungeons and Dragons Monster Manual (originally published in 1977).

The purple worm is a monster from that book.

Everytime I see this thread, I hear Prince in the back of my head singing "purple worm, purple worm"...
