Beholder Eye Tyrant #05 Dangerous Delves D&D Miniatures

not the most intimadating looking beholder but still a cool addititon to my collection. be aware that the base on this fello is of soft rubberlike plastic. i pulled mine from a booster pack and the base has nearly a 90 degree bend to it. i have tryed everything short of boiling it and flattining it out to fix the problem so far nothing has done the trick. great mini especially if you have the monster manual to go with it. all in all its a good mini i just with it would have had a solid base

The miniature itself is pretty solid. It's a better sculpt and paint job than the Eye of Flame, but still pales in comparison to the original Beholder. Unfortunately, for some reason the decision was made to mount this beholder on a soft, flexible plastic base rather than the normally more firm bases as with previous sets. The problem with this is that these flexible bases are often horribly misshapen and the miniature will not stand on its own as a result. Attempts to fix this (the often reliable hot/cold shaping method included) failed to make any permanent changes to the shape. This problem has been fairly consistent among other collectors I've spoken to, so be aware that it is a potential problem.
