Creature Caster Queen of Malifica: $129.00
The Queen of Malifica is the first Creature Caster Master Level model. Her story and lore gave us the opportunity to create what amounts to a fully playable diorama. We really amped up the details and intricacies with this model. As a Master Level model, this one will require more time and skill to put together than most of our other models. We highly recommend following the instructions, which can be found here – INSTRUCTIONS –, and taking the time to watch our assembly video here – ASSEMBLY VIDEO – . The Queen of Malifica has a sinister ending planned for those who are unprepared, but for those willing to embrace the challenge, the rewards are truly mind-altering. Power and prestige await you if you dare, mortal.
The Queen of Malifica is hand-cast in pure, unfilled resin. She comes with a custom 100mm round base and has a height of 23cm from the bottom of her scenic base to the top of her tentacled throne. Model is unassembled and unpainted. Master Level model intended for experienced hobbyists. Intended for ages 14+.
