D&D Nolzur's Marvelous Unpainted Minis: W2 Minotaur

This is an exceptional miniature. It looks more impressive in person than the image does justice. And thanks for the very good pricing!

Its a nice mini, unfortunately despite having a large sized base the mini itself is pretty much medium sized. So the base looks a little goofy compared to mini size.

A bit smaller than I’d like, though the pose is making it look smaller than it is. Ultimately still a great deal for the price, size is good enough.

Minotaur gooooood

This mini was a bit smaller than I thought, but it is a good sculpt. I love the morning star weapon and the pose.

Nice figure like most of this line

It seems hard to find good minotaur miniatures, and this one does the job very well. Good articulation; should be a treat to paint!

This figure is highly detailed and a great addition as a surprise boss of your dungeon.

I was long discouraged by one of the previous reviews, which says this is medium size creature with a large base. Mainly, because 'large' or 'medium' are categories that can include a whole lot of different sized creatures, and I was afraid this minotaur will come too small. But I decided to give this miniature a try, and was not disappointed. Firstly, I am going to use this miniature in various D&D games. In 5e, the listed height of a minotaur is 6-7 feet, a bit higher than a human. Monster Manual gives 'large' as a size for NPC minotaur, while both Guildmaster's Guide to Ravnica and Mystic Odysseys of Theros gives us 'medium' as the size for PC minotaurs, likely for balance issues. In 4e, NPC minotaurs were predominantly medium, some of NPC ones were large. PC ones, again, were medium. As you can see by the picture, this minotaur is definately bigger than average human, and would be actually even higher without the dynamic pose. I've decided to glue it on a 32mm base, so both miniatures on a photo are standing on top of such bases, to provide better perspective. It sticks out of base boundaries a bit, but this way, it will be still possible to pass as a PC medium minotaur and (almost) fit into one square, or actually be planted on a larger 50mm base that is included (left one on the photo), and represent the NPC minotaur of large size. So I would not call the miniature a disappointment. To me, it is actually of a dual purpose - the size of the miniature itself is quite sufficient, and makes it possible to represent both D&D size categories using just diffrent-sized bases.

It's small but it's still a great miniature at the end of the day.
