Side note on this one.. pretty amusing that even in playsets copyright problems were an issue - apparently DFC did a plastic toy version of Dave Sutherland's naga illustration from the Monster Manual, then had to make it faceless: http://2warpstoneptune.wordpress.com/2014/01/10/dfc-toys-demons-of-castlelon-fantasy-action-playset-1982/ Amusingly, I think that may be the only miniature directly made from DCS illustration. I've owned and seen a lot of minis, and can't recall another one based on a Sutherland work.
These look damn cool.
