What I love about Trash Mob Minis, apart from the bold and colourful style that makes the tiny little cardboard really pop and stand out at a great distance (something more subdued, photorealistic, or brown minis can be a bit of a letdown about) is the imaginative and outré takes on old classics. The mushroom maidens here are eye-popping, instantly memorable, and could perhaps be the mascots for a vegan fast food restaurant ("SHROOMBURGER - out of the Underdark onto your tastebuds") that would be very snarky on Twitter. Fantasy Twitter. Waterdeepr. At the same time, this set shows the versatility of the style, because just as you've got the very cute fungi filles, there's the fungal-infected orc (c-orc-dyceps?) who takes the same bold and thick-lined style and makes it NIGHTMARISH. Not enough good things to say. Five stars.
