These look great, Matt. Will you be attending NTX, and if so, will you have any of the new minis available?

My attendance at NTRPGCon all depends on Priceline.com over the next four days...

As far as the miniatures go, my casting company also does contract casting for much bigger companies and the GenCon race is on...the Molydeus and Mimics, as well as the first miniature in our Giants line are set to be master molded this week...and assuming two miracles in a row happen, I might have some early castings available for sale AND be at the convention.

As for miniatures, make sure you get your copy of CSM-010v, the Lord of the Great Plains at NTRPGCon. It's a great mini, and all proceeds benefit NTRPGCon!

Can we have an update on the Re...I mean, Polar Worm?

The Glacial Wyrm has been pushed back to a Christmas release this year due to sheer size and moldmaking costs- he's going to be a biggun, and will probably require multiple masters and production molds. He'll be available in time for Christmas, along with the second release in our Giants range.

I'll post some preview pictures here tonight.

For our current releases, the Molydeus is in production casting (should be in the online store this week) as well as a blister of Stirges (six, each with a clear flying base) also available this week.

Look for a resculpt of one of our original figures coming up in September, too.

As promised, here is a final pic of CSM-007, Glacial Wyrm, sculpted by Jason Wiebe. The front picture doesn't show you half of the detail on this sculpt - but it does show a (Reaper, I believe) sculpting dolly in the foreground so you get an idea of scale.

More pictures this fall as I get closer to the release date, but hopefully this might spark some interest.

Ooh.
Any approx price range for that?
I'd like one of them.

This week I've been mostly eating . . . The white ones with the little red flecks in them.

Looks great! I know I want one. It looks like there are few or no parts to put together, and that's always a big plus. The Ral Partha Remorhaz has a bunch of parts, many of them tiny, so this will be a major improvement. Thanks!

Looks awesome Matt!

Will the alternate weapons for the molydeus still be available in Sept or so?

Thanks, guys. A picture of the painted Molydeus will be up shortly too...it arrived here overnight.

As for the price of the Glacial Wyrm, I won't know until I have the casting cost per figure and factor in the moldmaking and sculpting cost.

I'm thinking that the $20 to low $30 range will most likely be the answer, but don't want to deter anyone from making a purchase at this point - it could be substantially lower. This figure will be entirely metal (lead-free), as I won't work with lead and resin isn't an option for a miniature with such small parts.

The cost in the end will be as competitive as I can make it without going broke

The alternate weapons for Molydeus are in the pipeline and have been commissioned, although masters of everything I'll be releasing through October have already been cast. I should have the alternate weapon greens in hand within a month, though, and I will try to have them cast them up with our November and December releases.

I just picked up a bunch of character minis from the Fantasy Encounters line, nice scupts! I've got them all dressed & primed, and plan to spend the long weekend painting up a storm

I don't know if I can do that bad boy in the middle justice, but it'll be fun trying!

I draw the line at collecting... D&D beach towels.

Make sure you post pics of the painted versions! If not here, over on the CSM forums would work too. I'm working on the sea devils, so I'll post those when finished.

CSG-001, Mountain Giant, now available in our online store at http://www.centerstageminis.com. Sculpted by Nicolas Genovese.

Nick is relatively new to the business, but I'm pleased to have him on board and working diligently on the next miniature in the Giants range, as well as some more dungeon pests...

October's release is the Lamia, a resculpt of one of our original figures. The old model is now discontinued.
