A fantastic sculpt from the new WizKids unpainted line which is right from the Dungeons and Dragons 5e Monster Manual. Again, I give them a big two thumbs up on distribution and pricing of these plastic models - $3.99 gets you one large or two medium creatures - in this case, the Troll is a large and comes in a single pack. This is from their Nolzur's Marvelous Miniatures line - https://wizkids.com/dnd-unpainted.
I'm also quite impressed with the plastic material - it's mostly rigid with just enough give that it shouldn't break if dropped at the gaming table. The rigidity keeps the creature's appendages from deforming - they also package the miniature in a two-part plastic sleeve that ensures no bending, deformation, nor breakage during the distribution process from their factory to your home. Best of all it's already assembled and primed with Vallejo grey primer. Kudos all around for a fantastic product.
My only negative is not knowing the sculptor - I feel that it's an important part of the hobby.
Painting instructions for Troll...
Step 1: Use Mossy Green on entire troll body
Step 2: Use various mixes of Mossy Green and Pale Saffron - the wet pallet was perfect for this - just kept adding more yellow but reserved my previous mixes - the boils were more Pale Saffron than Mossy Green
Step 3: Use Crimson Red on loincloth and tongue
Step 4: Use Rich Leather on belt
Step 5: Use Solid Black on hair, fingernails, and base
Step 6: Use a wash of Solid Black on loincloth and belt
Step 7: Use Crimson Red on loincloth to highlight
Step 8: Use Solid Blue on hair and fingernails as a highlight
Step 9: Use Tusk Ivory on teeth
Step 10: Drybrush Concrete Grey on base
