Those are cool. The mawe beast was a lot cheaper though. But I may put that stag beetle on my wish list. I need lots of stuff from ral partha europe now.

If you are still interested in frog / toad figures, then Reaper may be the way to go:

The larger end include the demon figure:


Down to the smaller Ice Toads (one of my fave figs):


or with Gnome Druid (possible head swap?)


For a complete list have a look at Reaper Frogs - the smaller frog men may be the only ones to take the small saddle though!

Hi Beefcake, I sincerely recommend the cane toad from the "Venomous Toob" pack of replica animals by Safari. It is pretty gribbly as is with extremely warty skin. It's also big but not too big. It can fit on a 40mm round base with it's fingers overlapping the edge or comfortably on a 50mm base, as is 33mm to the eyes and 50mm long. If you want it more demonic, just break out the green stuff. The other creatures in the toob are also great. For less than the price of a metal giant toad you get 9 big monsters. Trust me, I'm a snob for quality and these are better than a lot of metal sculpts out there, and the casting quality and material quality is there. Feel free to send me any you don't want as thanks, especially the scorpion. ;)

Some of those look really cool. Not sure I could find a use for the fish unless it was some crazy spell effect: giant poisonous fish of doom that will kill by squashing and venom spell.
The spider, scorpion, centipede and frog would be the only interest though.

Think "Land Lobster" locomotion - the powerful tail - and fins for "guidance" in flight - propels it through the air in jumps and leaps.

Thanks Glenn.
I think I found what I'm after. It's kind of toad like a bit comical and very evil looking.
A leaping mawe from hasslefree. I may be getting a few more of these some time as well.

Good choice!

Gracias,

Glenn
