I’m so addicted to these new minis! I love the fact that I don’t need to paint them! Good stuff! I love that large character with the mouth on his stomach with the big sickle!
It's hard to pick a favorite, they're all good. The goliath werebear is probably the coolest, but I think I still like the snowy owlbear the best, it's just adorable
The back side of that snowy owl bear reminds me of the bear from the movie series Balto. The fact that a wolf is also in this set pushes that just a little further. Maybe there's a goose running around.
Thank you Gallant Goblin for another great preview video! WizKids has done an outstanding job with this set -- it's definitely going to be one of my favorite sets. So many of those minis have a lot of great details and the paint application seems very good too.
Loving how 5e mini’s are finally hitting the quality mark I’ve been wanting... Gnome Squidling caught me by surprise & caught my heart... will def be picking up this brick... ty G Goblin for selling me on these 🤙🏽
I agree with you. As I paint mini I was always staying away from boosters, because the paint job was really really bad. Even if it's not the quality I can paint to, it still saves a lot of time and most of them are OK for table top.
it's reeally hard too point one as THE BEST, since this entire set, from what i've seen until now is one of THE BEST ever, but the Yeti Tyke and the Gnoll (The frost Gnoll) really stood out for me
This is by far the best Icons of the Realm set. That Killer Whale is probably my favorite -- a relatively mundane creature but something I have never seen in Mini form before
Cool set. It's hard to pick a favorite. I like the classics with new garb or whatever: Kobold Mountaineer, Duergar Mindmaster, but that winter Gnoll is awesome. Also like the salamander
I absolutely love these minis! I feel like a lot of the recent sets have left a lot to be desired in terms of paint quality, but i enjoyed all of these. I loved the tomb tapper in particular!
Here is hoping someday we can get the whole company... We did get Wulfgar, Bruenor and Drizzt has like 3 minis, but none of the others. And yes, never imagined we would one day have this iconic fish!
Wow they really upped the quality with this set! A world of difference from te first booster I bought, Monster Menagerie. I changed from buying dice everytime I enter a gamestore to buying a booster and will be looking forward to these~
Yeah it's tuff to find proper sized animals, I love making farm settings when running a game because it can provide so many options for quests or just used as a players base of operations out in the wilderness. Find farmer Joe's prized 🐐 goat , investigate the haunted barn where the farmers wife hung her self after going mad or was killed by the straw golem the farmer had made, maybe the local Goblin hoard takes umbrage to the farm being in their territory so as an act of peaceful protest they decide to burn it to the ground 😏, all if these could use regular animals as decorations , mission goals, or even as a solution to the problem for inventive players.
Interesting set, wasn't expecting a bunch of those. That yeti and killer whale could be really useful for tables that like to use polymorph. The yeti is a decent stand- in for a giant ape.
wow the quality on these minis keeps getting better. If I had to pick a favourite it would have to be either the arctic wolf, the Chwinga with a snowball or the kobold Mountaineer. Gnome Ceremorph is cool too but knowing what happened to the poor original owner of that body kinda ruins it a bit hahaha.
This set has a lot of surprises. Love the frost salamander, gnome illithids, the reghed nomad, tomb tapper, and the goliath barbarian, but will probably pick up a lot of the others as well. Absolute favorite: gnome ceremorph. My players will never see it coming.
Holy smokes... This is the best set I have ever seen! It's so hard to choose a favourite, but I will have to go with the Gnome Ceremorph. I have so many ideas for the little guy, including a pc.
This is one of my favorite Icoms Of the Realms sets. The Gnome Ceremorph, Killer Whale, And Snowy Owlbear are great minis. I love how there is so many animals in this set and all the minis are snow themed.
Snowy owlbearrrrrrrr!!! I love the aesthetic for these miniatures, gnome ceremorph is so great and I love it! The kobold mountaineer takes the cake though. (Probably hiding it in it’s cave.) snow goblin is such a close second!
The Orog seemed like it had a great paint job, except his cape looked like it needs a wash or something. The hole in it not being differentiated from the rest of the cape was distracting. That said, this whole set is awesome (though, I'd be upset if I bought one box, and got the reindeer as my large mini. I would buy a set that was just wild/domesticated beasts to fill out scenes (I had to use wolves to represent pigs on the last farm I did in person) but when I'm buying a blind box, that seems like a bit of a disappointment, I'd be much more excited for the other large figures.
I've always been a huge fan of the Icewind Dale and Frozenfar, so this set is right up my alley. I especially like the themed Werebear! Thanks for the video!
I would have to say that I instantly fell in love with the Gnome Ceremorph - deadly cute is the best kind of cute! Hoping I can get my hands on the Arctic Fox too. It’ll make a perfect animal companion in this setting. Great vid, thanks Theo!
Damn, there's almost too much cool stuff here! The Yeti, the ceremorph, Nass Lantomir... Love the gold details on the armors of the duergar and the gnoll, the teeth of the killer whale, the salamander, and also that trout, which I think is my favorite mini, actually!
I love that there are actual animals in there. I just got into collecting minis and Dm'ing and my group keeps asking where all the animals are. Icewind Dale is such an amazing setting, I remember feverishly playing that game like ages ago. I love the frosty winter style. And this adorable cute Yeti Tyke has just stolen my heart! Who gave him permission to be SO cute?
I absolutely love this set! I can't wait for the adventure to come out. As for my favorite mini out of the ones you got I love the Winter Gnoll. But over all I'm in love with the Mamoths that you can get. Here's hoping I win a set!
An interesting mix of minis. As others have stated the paint quality has dramatically improved in recent sets. The minis themselves have a number of really useful figures like the animals, and a few that outside of a specific adventure it would be a struggle to use. Getting boosters in Australia is a real pain atm, so I might be forced to the singles market.
I was able to take part in two of the D&D Live games - great fun. I really hope there'll be more online games next year, even if there's no pandemic causing it.
I thought the minis were pretty fricken awesome, they have such interesting feel and aesthetic about them and I would love to have even one... I unfortunately don’t have any minis me and my friends use paper ball of different colours as are characters and it would be amazing to win a box... and this is a really amazing video great job man :)
The tomb tapper looks amazing, though the moment this set was announced i was thrilled for the whole thing. These all look phenomenal so far. Excites to see the remainder. It's rare i can spend $ on a whole aet but this one i might have to. WizKids keeps coming out with so many good things all in a row; my wallet can't keep up.
This set seems top-notch with the effect they've put into even the small things like the trout. I'm thinking tomb tapper is my favourite just because it fits the horror vibe so well
LOL it was me begging for the 🐐 goat mini ( actually a dire goat but that's close enough), thanks for remembering me Theo ! So of course I would love to win a box of these and the goat is my favorite! I was also the one begging for Ravenloft minis, so this is my lucky day! Thanks, I'm extremely excited!
@@TheGallantGoblin I hope they are, at least every other video I try to get their attention to let them know how great your videos are in hopes my praise will help with them continuing to send you guys cool merch!
Love the level of detail in the sculpts for this set. Looks like the paint quality is a bit mixed though. Gnome Squidling was my favorite of the minis shown.
I like how the quality of sets just keeps improving with each one. Think I'm gonna have to go with brittle maiden as my favorite, I'm a sucker for magic effects on minis
OMG these are amazing and so many nice figures its hard to choose which is my favorite. But since I can only pick one, I think the Goliath Barbarian was the best.
I like the Brittle Maiden figure the most out of what was unboxed. They really did an excellent job of the "inhuman"-type figures in this set.
I’m so addicted to these new minis! I love the fact that I don’t need to paint them! Good stuff! I love that large character with the mouth on his stomach with the big sickle!
It's hard to pick a favorite, they're all good. The goliath werebear is probably the coolest, but I think I still like the snowy owlbear the best, it's just adorable

Thanks for your support! I was really happy with this set as well. Really can't wait to see where we go from here! -Theo
Loving how 5e mini’s are finally hitting the quality mark I’ve been wanting... Gnome Squidling caught me by surprise & caught my heart... will def be picking up this brick... ty G Goblin for selling me on these 🤙🏽
Glad you liked them as much as I did! -Theo
Daniel Stone ... $10? Where are you getting that? By my calculations these are $4.25 per mini randomized.
I agree with you. As I paint mini I was always staying away from boosters, because the paint job was really really bad. Even if it's not the quality I can paint to, it still saves a lot of time and most of them are OK for table top.
it's reeally hard too point one as THE BEST, since this entire set, from what i've seen until now is one of THE BEST ever, but the Yeti Tyke and the Gnoll (The frost Gnoll) really stood out for me

I absolutely love these minis! I feel like a lot of the recent sets have left a lot to be desired in terms of paint quality, but i enjoyed all of these. I loved the tomb tapper in particular!
Solid set, but I think my favorite is the Knucklehead Trout. Tickles my nostalgia bone with my boy, Regis, carving up some scrimshaw.
Here is hoping someday we can get the whole company... We did get Wulfgar, Bruenor and Drizzt has like 3 minis, but none of the others. And yes, never imagined we would one day have this iconic fish!
This is one of the best sets I've seen to date. good theme great minis and just a good mix of everything
Holy cow the gnome ceremorph looks like a kid in a mindflayer costume!
Wow they really upped the quality with this set! A world of difference from te first booster I bought, Monster Menagerie. I changed from buying dice everytime I enter a gamestore to buying a booster and will be looking forward to these~
They all look so amazing. But the Killer Whale is one of the craziest minies I have ever seen. The Owlbear is supercute.
This set looks amazing!! I run a winter themed for my family on Christmas, and these minis will go perfectly with that!
I love the inclusion of animals, they always seem to make games more immersive for me
I love beasts
Yeah it's tuff to find proper sized animals, I love making farm settings when running a game because it can provide so many options for quests or just used as a players base of operations out in the wilderness. Find farmer Joe's prized 🐐 goat , investigate the haunted barn where the farmers wife hung her self after going mad or was killed by the straw golem the farmer had made, maybe the local Goblin hoard takes umbrage to the farm being in their territory so as an act of peaceful protest they decide to burn it to the ground 😏, all if these could use regular animals as decorations , mission goals, or even as a solution to the problem for inventive players.
Completely agree! I think booster set of just animals/beasts would be incredible.
I love the snow and winter set sooooooooooooo much and I'm so excited about this adventure, I'm so EXITED XD
Interesting set, wasn't expecting a bunch of those. That yeti and killer whale could be really useful for tables that like to use polymorph. The yeti is a decent stand- in for a giant ape.
Beautiful set. Nice unboxing. Def like that Chwinga with snowball
wow the quality on these minis keeps getting better. If I had to pick a favourite it would have to be either the arctic wolf, the Chwinga with a snowball or the kobold Mountaineer. Gnome Ceremorph is cool too but knowing what happened to the poor original owner of that body kinda ruins it a bit hahaha.
Nice, it looks like the painting has improved over the last couple sets, finally.
The yeti looked fantastic!! I love using them in my games, so I’m definitely gonna be shooting for that mini
I think the set looks amazing and I love that Wizards are really investing in it.
This set has a lot of surprises. Love the frost salamander, gnome illithids, the reghed nomad, tomb tapper, and the goliath barbarian, but will probably pick up a lot of the others as well. Absolute favorite: gnome ceremorph. My players will never see it coming.
Of the ones you got I think my favorites are the Goliath barbarian, the snowy owl ear, and the yeti
Is it just me, or did they literally give the werebear the Steel Battleaxe from Skyrim?
Holy smokes... This is the best set I have ever seen! It's so hard to choose a favourite, but I will have to go with the Gnome Ceremorph. I have so many ideas for the little guy, including a pc.
This is one of my favorite Icoms Of the Realms sets. The Gnome Ceremorph, Killer Whale, And Snowy Owlbear are great minis. I love how there is so many animals in this set and all the minis are snow themed.

Very cool set! I think I like the Flind the best. Very dynamic pose :)
This set is really cool. Would make nice Frostgrave minis, too.
My thoughts exactly! I´ve always imagined Frostgrave taking place somehwere in the Spine of the World anyway :D
I've always been a huge fan of the Icewind Dale and Frozenfar, so this set is right up my alley. I especially like the themed Werebear! Thanks for the video!
I would have to say that I instantly fell in love with the Gnome Ceremorph - deadly cute is the best kind of cute! Hoping I can get my hands on the Arctic Fox too. It’ll make a perfect animal companion in this setting. Great vid, thanks Theo!
Thank you, Ryan! -Theo
Appreciate the unboxing, was looking forward to this set anxiously. Really interested in the Tomb Tapper. Hopefully I stumble upon one🤞🏾
Damn, there's almost too much cool stuff here! The Yeti, the ceremorph, Nass Lantomir... Love the gold details on the armors of the duergar and the gnoll, the teeth of the killer whale, the salamander, and also that trout, which I think is my favorite mini, actually!
Good video. Really enjoy the enthusiasm shown for these minis. Get's me excited to pick them up as well.
I love that there are actual animals in there. I just got into collecting minis and Dm'ing and my group keeps asking where all the animals are. Icewind Dale is such an amazing setting, I remember feverishly playing that game like ages ago. I love the frosty winter style. And this adorable cute Yeti Tyke has just stolen my heart! Who gave him permission to be SO cute?
I love the huge booster boxes. so many cool minis I can't pick a favorite lol. the more gnolls the better though
I absolutely love this set! I can't wait for the adventure to come out. As for my favorite mini out of the ones you got I love the Winter Gnoll. But over all I'm in love with the Mamoths that you can get. Here's hoping I win a set!
This is probably one of the best sets that I’ve seen, I really like the general theme and the abdominal yeti is my favourite
This looks like a top notch set. The Snowy Owlbear is just adorable, and that Tomb Tapper is so cool.
Love the killer whale and how you can even see the tail in the wave
There's a lot of minis in here that I wasn't expecting, my favourites would be the tomb tapper and the brittle maiden.
All these minis are very coooooool. But i loveeeeed the Tomb Tapper and The Brittle Maiden ♥
The paint jobs on these just keep getting better and better. I love the fact that there is actually another IWD adventure on the horizon :o)
Snowy owlbear is the best! But I find many mini's in this set very good!
How?! How can they somehow merge cute and horrifying in the same box so well AND have it make sense?!!? I love that little mind flayer. It’s adorable.
Up until you hug it and then it tries to extract your brain through your nose! :P
These minis are some of the best ones so far the paint jobs are great and I love the snow theme
That Owlbear is the heckin' cutest thing I have ever seen. Also, the Gnome Squidling is probably the best mini to ever exist.
Very fitting minis for this adventure!
The Yeti Tyke is so adorable, I know my daughter is SURE to try and “adopt” it!
I love the snowy owlbear! It’s so cute
An interesting mix of minis. As others have stated the paint quality has dramatically improved in recent sets. The minis themselves have a number of really useful figures like the animals, and a few that outside of a specific adventure it would be a struggle to use. Getting boosters in Australia is a real pain atm, so I might be forced to the singles market.
Thanks for doing the video! I'm really interested in this expansion set.
I’m a toss between the Werebear and the Owlbear... decisions...
The winter Gnoll is my favorite! We are playing Legend of the Crystal Shard right now. Would love these minis!
That Snowy Owlbear makes me want to be a Beast Master Ranger with that as a pet!!! I'm also super into the Goliath Werebear
Omg, new to miniature collecting. I really am interested in this set. Alot of awsome minitures !!!!
Such a cohesive set, at least in this brick. Really clear theme coming through and no random "catch up" minis from the other books.
I was able to take part in two of the D&D Live games - great fun. I really hope there'll be more online games next year, even if there's no pandemic causing it.
The Snowy Owlbear is adorable! Best set yet.
I thought the minis were pretty fricken awesome, they have such interesting feel and aesthetic about them and I would love to have even one... I unfortunately don’t have any minis me and my friends use paper ball of different colours as are characters and it would be amazing to win a box... and this is a really amazing video great job man :)
The tomb tapper looks amazing, though the moment this set was announced i was thrilled for the whole thing. These all look phenomenal so far. Excites to see the remainder. It's rare i can spend $ on a whole aet but this one i might have to. WizKids keeps coming out with so many good things all in a row; my wallet can't keep up.
Sorry. 😜
I’m glad I preordered a brick from my local shop.
This set seems top-notch with the effect they've put into even the small things like the trout. I'm thinking tomb tapper is my favourite just because it fits the horror vibe so well
LOL it was me begging for the 🐐 goat mini ( actually a dire goat but that's close enough), thanks for remembering me Theo ! So of course I would love to win a box of these and the goat is my favorite!
I was also the one begging for Ravenloft minis, so this is my lucky day! Thanks, I'm extremely excited!
There ya go! Someone out there at Wizkids is listening to ya! -Theo
@@TheGallantGoblin I hope they are, at least every other video I try to get their attention to let them know how great your videos are in hopes my praise will help with them continuing to send you guys cool merch!
The paint jobs are improving! Love the night hag.
She's actually a re-posed version (with a staff) - there was one in Storm King's Thunder too, but was a Rare. This will be easier to get!
Oh man so many good minis. That Frost Salamander is pretty cool, but I also like the Brittle Maiden. The squidling was cute too.
Love the level of detail in the sculpts for this set. Looks like the paint quality is a bit mixed though. Gnome Squidling was my favorite of the minis shown.
Nice shirt :) I just received mine last week, loved Icewind Dale computer game, and am looking forward to this setting for 5e
Really cool minis, favorite is of course the snowy owl bear.
I like the Goliath Werebear mini the best. That's a pretty cool mini. Orca is a close second. Loving the clear bases too.
"Where all the free boxes at!"
Looks good, want to strip them and repaint them ...... Woot the old school IWD game, still play it on GOG.
I just discovered this channel and I absolutely love your guys content.
Hey thank you, Isaac!! Welcome! -Theo
love all of the animals and beasts to fill out a game board
I love the Yeti. This is a awesome set, I want a brick now.
I like how the quality of sets just keeps improving with each one. Think I'm gonna have to go with brittle maiden as my favorite, I'm a sucker for magic effects on minis
Lot of different themes on this set, I'm so excited for this campaign.
Seeing some of the minis in this set is getting me even more excited for when this comes out!
Great aesthetic! So excited to try this out especially with those werebears!
I didnt got that hyped for the book, but the minis looks amazing and useful for a lot of settings
Now i have to play the old PC games to get ready for this adventure !!!
This is one of the best sets. That polar owlbear😍😍
Great minis, so exited for the book!
Awesome review! Thanks, Gallant Goblin!
Thanks! We should have our full review of every figure in the set out tomorrow morning! -Grady
They're all really cool. I love the snowy owlbear, but that goliath werebear is the best.
This was my favorite epesiode of box openings. It was hillarious!
The snowy owlbear and the abominable yeti are my favorites and I am looking forward to when this set is coming out
The set is pretty cool! I like the killer animals so you can use them for wild shape and enemies.
So many amazing minis there. Paricar love for the werebear and the Goliath barbarian.
The set is awesome and I especially like the gnome squidling. Hes just adorable
The snowy owlbear is a cool one, but the knucklehead trout is so iconic of Icewind dale that I would have to go with that mini for my favourite !
OMG these are amazing and so many nice figures its hard to choose which is my favorite. But since I can only pick one, I think the Goliath Barbarian was the best.
So looking forward to getting some of these.
I like the wolf. Wolf is my spirit animal. J/K. As a newer player, I prioritize minis that would be useful in a variety of settings and environments.
Really cool minis! Like the goblin and the Kobolds.
Super excited about this set. Of course the snowy owl bear is the winner. Pro tip I learned: cut the tape ahead of time lol.
Haha! The owl bear is great. And indeed, cutting the tape saves a lot of time. -Theo
Love the yeti the most I think! or the frost salamander. I'll toss my hat in for the giveaway
