Icons of the Realms: Fangs and Talons coming Nov. 2020 (plus 2021-2022 release schedule news)
Updated: Jul 10, 2020
We have three exclusive WizKids news announcements for you today! Listen to Theo cover it in our YouTube video or read on to see the release schedule of everything we know is coming!
Note: We incorrectly identified the name of the set as Fangs & Claws in the video when in fact it is Fangs & Talons
First, the big announcements! These were communicated to us by Patrick O'Hagan, Executive Producer of RPGs at WizKids.
Icons of the Realms Set 15: Fangs and Talons
Icons of the Realms is the official prepainted mini product line for fifth edition Dungeons & Dragons, and unless it gets renamed before release, this is going to be the first set not named for a source book. Fangs and Talons is going to be a monster-heavy set focusing on creatures with fangs and talons! While we don't have renders to show you, the following creatures should be included:
Aboleth
Green Slaad
Tridrone
Ki-rin
Young Red Dragon
Young Green Dragon
Kobold
Almiraj
Boggle
Lizardfolk
Mule
Vine Blight
Gloom Weaver
Berbalang
Mimic
Banshee
Fire, Earth, Water, and Air Elementals
Marid
Flail Snail
T-Rex
Dire Troll
Fire Giant Skeleton
This set includes huge-sized minis. The premium figure accompanying the set is a purple worm.
WarLock Tiles
There are 7 WarLock Tiles sets coming in July 2020, but WizKids isn't taking a break. We can now confirm the following sets (see the release schedule list for exact dates)
Town Square terrain
Town Square set dressing
Curves Set
Corners Set
One-inch squares for all previous sets (Dungeon Tiles, Town & Village, Town Square, Corners, and Curves)
Tunnels and Caves
Sewers
Grasslands
Swampy, pre-medieval hamlet
Wilderness
Ruins
WizKids will also begin selling individual pieces on their web store at https://shop.wizkids.com/ if you just need a few pieces and not a whole box set. These should start showing up in July or August 2020.
Starfinder Booster Set & Unpainted Minis
There are two fixed sets of prepainted Starfinder minis coming July 2020, one for villains and one for heroes, but now we finally have confirmation that a full booster set like Icons of the Realms and Pathfinder Battles will come out for Starfinder January 2021! This set will have a slightly smaller number of minis, roughly 40 compared to the 44 of Icons or Pathfinder Battles. And if that isn't enough to make you praise Triune, a line of unpainted Starfinder minis like Deep Cuts or Nolzur's is also coming!

Some last notes
Paint Night Kits are one unpainted miniature plus a set of Vallejo paints (the manticore one we saw had around 12 paint colors) and brushes and everything else you need to paint the figure, plus a QR code on the box that links you to an online painting tutorial
There should also be "warband" style releases for creatures with swappable parts, but these will be a separate product line from the warbands, which are fixed sculpts. Gnolls were mentioned to be in scope for this.
Starfinder unpainted minis line is coming but not sure when or what it'll contain
D&D Premium Figures have been very popular and so should have 10 per wave going forward, waves will be pretty frequent
Pathfinder Battles Premium Figures will stay at 5-6 per wave
D&D Icons of the Realms booster set releases are increasing in frequency to 4 per year
Pathfinder Battles booster sets will remain at 2 a year
Starfinder Battles booster sets will be 1 a year but could change based on popularity
There will be a locathah mini at some point
