A very nice collection of new Figurines of Wondrous Power, ranging from standouts as the Blue Baboon and Platinum Pike to the somewhat silly (the Spinel Flamingos), interspersed for reference purposes with the original Figurines of Wondrous Power from the DMG (except for the Stone Horse, which WoTC gave a separate listing for reasons unknown, but most likely poor editing).

There are a couple editing mistakes in this text as well: The "Oak Turtle" on p. 7 is titled "Wooden Turtle" in the illustration on the same page and the "Onyx Mastiff" also on p. 7 has an amusing example of the Cupertino effect from over-reliance on computer spellchecking--instead of "to bay" and "baying," there's "the bray" and "braying," making the shadow mastiff sound like a malign shadow donkey.

Of more significance, DMs will likely want to get this Deluxe edition over the regular "Figurines of Wondrous Power" edition instead. That edition is seven pages shorter (10 pages plus one page of licensing vs 17 pages plus one page of licensing). those extra seven pages have all the stats for the animal forms of all the Figurines of Wondrous Power, saving DMs the trouble of having to reach for the Monster Manual or converting various beasties which are the same as ones from the MM except for a few differences.

The illustrations are nicely done and the page layout is good, though the choice of display face is particularly unreadable in some cases. (I had to go into the text to figure out that the Fulgurite Octopus was in fact a Fulgurite Octopus.)

But all in all, still a very well written and useful collection for gaming.
