Any chance for some more LL box sets to be released later this year, or maybe a hydra?

Ooooh. Now a Hydra would be cool, especially if there were multiple head type variants.

I agree, especially if there were at least 7 heads, and preferably more like 10 or 15! I have a number of old hydras from Heritage, Grenadier, etc., that are 3-7 headed, so more heads would definitely be better!

I'm all for a 12 headed hydra being produced. I would want the heads to be all uniform though. I think either grenadier or Ral partha put one out that had all different style heads...it seemed a little weird to me.

I guess you could have alternative head sets, so you can choose a type and then have them all the same style. Could be a casters nightmare though! Maybe have an option for multiple necks and heads so the number can vary.

Maybe you could have a torso with X number of holes in the neck area and a pack of "plugs" and heads, so that people could, in effect, choose themselves how many heads thwere were going to be. Personally, I wouldn't want 12 heads, between 5 and 8 would be better for my taste.

Re the head options, yes, they should be 'uniform' - I would just have two or three different head packs to choose from, a bit like the Giant has 3 head variants. As the model would be so large (and premium priced) this may be an economically viable option?

Just a suggestion.

I would be perfectly OK with one uniform head style and a fixed number of heads. If a sculptor can figure out how to make 8 or so look right and how to keep the body balanced so it doesn't always tip over forward (some necks might need to be rearing back) then I can say "This one has 12 heads, you just can't see them all at once because some are hidden behind the others."

But then I'm not playing any strict WYSIWYG tournament games in which the number of heads depicted actually matters.
