WizKids has announced a new collection of miniatures featuring monsters inspired by the 2025 Monster Manual. The D&D Icons of the Realms: Monster Manual Collection 1 will include 47 miniatures in the collection, all of which were sculpted based on the artwork found in the new Monster Manual due out next month. Monsters confirmed for the set include Nightmares, nalfeshnee, ghasts, helmed horrors, black puddings, cultists, lizardfolk, death dogs, fire elementals, hobgoblins, succubi, red dragons, smoke mephits, and a gnoll variant called a gnoll demoniac. No release date for the set was announced, but it will likely be after May 2025, which is when the Underdark Expeditions set is released.
WizKids previously announced gargantuan miniatures of the red dragon and black dragon based on their 2024 designs.
One point of emphasis for the new Monster Manual is artwork showcasing the various creatures and monsters in more fearsome and action-packed imagery. The 2014 Monster Manual featured very static images of monsters, which was great for miniature models but didn’t always inspire the imagination in the proper way.
Previews of the miniatures can be seen below:
