WizKids unveils Hollow Dragon, Harpy, Aarakocra, and Drow D&D mini packs
WizKids’ newest D&D wave mixes a glow-in-the-dark boss dragon with cheap, repeatable encounter packs that plug real holes in many maps.

WizKids gave DMs a useful spread of monsters instead of a single flashy release: one premium Hollow Dragon boss piece, plus Harpy, Aarakocra, and Drow packs that slot straight into the kinds of fights tables actually run. The standout is the Hollow Dragon, a Huge boxed miniature that looks built to anchor a whole session or even a short campaign arc.
That dragon lands at $99 and is scheduled for August. WizKids says it comes pre-painted, fully assembled, and ready out of the box, with one Huge miniature on a 100mm clear base and a 75mm Threat Ring. The selling point is DungeonGlo glow-in-the-dark paint on the body and wings, with the company recommending a charge under sunlight or UV light for the strongest effect. That is not just shelf candy. It is the sort of centerpiece that turns a standard boss room into a memorable set piece the moment the lights go down.

The more practical value for most tables sits in the smaller packs. The Harpy Flock and Aarakocra Flock each use a five-figure format and are both priced at $39.99 for an October release. The Aarakocra pack includes five pre-painted Medium miniatures on 25mm clear bases, each mounted on a flight stand, and WizKids even suggests buying multiple packs to build out an Aarakocra army. That matters for DMs who need either a hostile aerial ambush or a faction of airborne allies without scrambling for proxy figures at the last minute.
The Drow Warband is the best fit for Underdark campaigns and other subterranean setups. It includes six figures, the Drow of Lolth, Drow Assassin, Drow Mage of Lolth, Drow Priestess of Lolth, Drow Shadowblade, and Drow Matron Mother, for $34.99 in September. WizKids describes the shadowblade as a ruthless killer who uses shadow magic and serves the noble houses of the Underdark, while the matron mother is a high-ranking priestess of Lolth who commands those houses. That gives the set clear utility whether you need a house patrol, a court scene, or a boss fight built around Lolth’s politics.

WizKids also listed Adventures in Faerun as a 10-count booster brick at $199.90, aimed at building the “perfect population” for journeys across Faerûn. The set teases figures such as the Cultist of Myrkul, the Beast of Malar, the Purple Dragon Knight, and the Drow Harper Warrior Veteran, which makes the whole wave feel less like a random product drop and more like a deliberate push to cover iconic D&D encounter types. WizKids has spent years tying Icons of the Realms releases to major books and themes, and this batch keeps that pattern going with a sharper eye on what actually lands on the table.
