Pretty cool.
This isn't an exact copy! Her honkers are bigger!

It’s the heroic scale And of course I’ll need to get the mini, for old times sake.
The raft from Watchmen. The pirate comic inside Watchmen that is. You remember the one I'm talking about right? The one the kid was reading at the newsstand that mirrored the themes of the main story till the final kicker? The one the dude makes out of wreckage and a dead shark? Yeah. That one. Now you can have it in unlicensed miniature form!
Dude… Spoiler alert!!!

Yeah clearly she had some work done. But it's rude to point it out.

2021 is (somehow) almost over but Reaper ain't done yet.
They seem to putting more figures into boxes rather than separate blisters which is probably better for retailers and inventory, we'll have to see if this is a major shift or now.
One box is "Blood Demons"
Your $25 will get you one winged dude...
(some sense of size here would be really nice)
And seven assorted hench-monsters
I um, I'm really not sure what that second group is doing. Maybe flexing? Or celebrating after killing your party?
Obviously while the box says 'Blood Demons' you can paint them any way you want to make phloem demons, bodily fluid demons or uh... spare change demons if you wish.
There's also a pack of Beastmen who can also pass as Man Beasts with some minor work.
But the real winner for me is the Henchmen box. $35 for a big old mess of henchmen ranging from the useful to the humorous.
Various lantern and torch carriers allowing your valuable PCs to have their hands free for weapons. And treasure carriers to keep your encumbrance low. Of course you'll have to kil- I mean have them accidentally fall down a pit on the way home so they don't get any funny ideas.
And yes, to the best of my knowledge this is the first 10' pole miniature ever made! The 10' pole alone is worth the box price.
I love the last trio. One guy pokes at the monster with his 10' pole to see if it get's enraged, and the other two fill it full of arrows and quarrels.
It's like they are training to be heroic adventurers (re: murderhobos).

Good point, you don't get EXP if the monster is asleep after all.
Depends on the edition. Getting all the monster's treasure from it while it sleeps and then getting away safely was a far better source of XPTS than fighting. One of the stupidest changes to D&D was to award XPTS for monster kills only. Sleeping monsters generally don't cause TPKs.
That box o' henchies and hirelings is going to be my stocking stuffer to me this year. It's just too Old School for a grognard like me to pass on. The porters, the link boys ( torch or lantern carriers) and the 10' pole guy. Perfect. Straight out of the original DMG.
