Hello everyone! I was planning on making a mushroom man for a game of D&D, but sadly, I cannot find a miniature that I like. I am looking for a medium sized mushroom man (not a short & stubby one [the one reaper makes]). I do not mind if I have to kit bash (I would prefer to anyways). I was planning on getting the cap of the Reaper Mushroom King and gluing it to a miniature, but I'm not sure... if you find a miniature (or parts), please post a link! Thank you!

You could always just make a green stuff dome and ram it on top of a spare model!

The only problem with that is... I'm not very good with green stuff...

You could always go to say a hobby store and buy pre-Made mushrooms and put a face and arms on them... Hmmm

I did find these, I don't know if you could work them into your idea though.

I think you could pull off a mushroom top with green stuff though. Just roll a cone with a slight droop for a top or make a big old ball and then squish it in your palms to make a bigger flatter one.

Could I just cut the top off of them? Also, how much green stuff would I need?

... how big do you want it? kind of determines how much putty is needed.
Word of advice, dont buy greenstuff from GW, its far cheaper elsewhere, is aka kneadatite, greenstuff, yellow/blue, plumbers mate (although with pvc pipes being the fashion its not so common in plumbing anymore)
Theres other alternative products too, all faling under the category of 'epxoy putty' each kind you might find will have its pro's and cons.

Thank you for your help!

You could even just roll hotglue gun glue onto a stick and mush it around if you don't mind running your hands through all of it. There's a youtube channel called dmginfo that I've been watching recently and he shows how to make mushrooms for tiles and stuff. Don't know why that just popped into my head.

This one from D&D miniatures is not good enough?

The reason I did not want that one is because I am trying to follow this description:
