FFG anuncia la salida de minis pintadas, en formato premium de MoM

Pues parece que los chicos de FFG, han decidido sacar las minis de los monstruos de MoM, pintadas en formato de mayor calidad o premium.
Hace tiempo ya sacaron las de los investigadores pintadas de una forma poco deseable, en mi opinión.
La cosa no tuvo demasiada aceptación, pero han decido volver a intentarlo con los monstruos. Estan  pintadas un poco mejor, por lo que supongo que para la gente que no este con ganas de hacerlo el mismo, pueden ser una opción a tener en cuenta.









It seemed to be a sort of monster [...] of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. [...] A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.
     – H.P. Lovecraft, The Call of Cthulhu
Otherworldly horrors tear at the thin fabric of reality, seeking to intrude on our dimension for their own inscrutable purposes. To look upon their terrifying forms is to risk insanity, for these shapeless beasts have a strange, almost mesmerizing beauty. Those unfortunate individuals who lay eyes on such cosmic abominations are often drawn inexplicably toward them, and into their own merciful demise.
Fantasy Flight Games is proud to announce that the first wave of premium Arkham Horror Monster Figures is now available for sale through our webstore! Joining the already complete lineup of Arkham Horror Investigators, these stunning hand-painted figures will further enhance the visual impact of your favorite Lovecraftian board game. What's more, each monster's base is designed with a slot to accommodate its monster token from Arkham Horror or Mansions of Madness!
First through the gate
Wave One, the harbingers of a far greater invasion, includes eighteen blood-curdling creatures and minions with which to challenge your investigators. From the wormlike Chthonian to the axe-wielding Maniac, from the predatory Hound of Tindalos to the sanity-shattering Dunwich Horror, Arkham Horror Monster Figures will immerse you in cosmic terror.

They were not altogether crows, nor moles, nor buzzards, nor ants, nor vampire bats, nor decomposed human beings; but something I cannot and must not recall. They flopped limply along, half with their webbed feet and half with their membraneous wings...
     –H.P. Lovecraft, The Festival
Yesterday, we announced that the first wave of Arkham Horror Monster Figures is available through our Fantasy Flight Collector line. Joining the already complete lineup of Arkham Horror Investigators, these stunning hand-painted figures further enhance the visual impact of your favorite Lovecraftian board game. Today, we’re pleased to present a closer look at each of the horrifying creatures available in wave one. We’ll also see how each versatile figure can be used in either Arkham Horror orMansions of Madness!
Don’t stare too long
Risk your sanity and gaze upon the tentacled Dark Young, the many-mouthed Dunwich Horror, or the wicked Goat Spawn. Whether writhing abomination or mortal minion, these unholy terrors have one thing in common: their contempt for all things good and humane.

Each Wave One Monster Figure is available individually through our webstore, and for those who wish to own the entire wave, a complete set (one of each monster) is also available!
In Arkham, nowhere is safe
As practical as they are attractive, Arkham Horror Monster Figures can easily be incorporated into your games ofArkham Horror or Mansions of Madness. Both board games were designed to use the same sized monster token, and in both games, a token’s most pertinent information appears in the same place.
This ingenious design means that whether you plan to use them in Arkham Horror or Mansions of Madness (or both),Arkham Horror Monster Figures provide a multipurpose accessory. For example, after randomly drawing a Cultist from your Arkham Horror monster cup, simply insert his token into the base of your painted Cultist figure. Showing through the top of the base, you’ll see the monster’s name, awareness modifier, and home dimension. And by picking him up for a quick look at the bottom of the base, you can see the entirety of the token’s back side.
 
Similarly, if a squirming Shoggoth is summoned before you in Mansions of Madness, just insert his monster token into the base of his painted figure. You’ll see his name, monster type, awareness modifier, and horror rating at a glance, and you can flip the figure and base over to learn his damage, health, and special attack!
