Well, they weren't wrong. XD
However! It was the best final campaign boss fight they've ever had and the fact they all retired rich as kings says that it was worth the thirty bucks I spent on it.
I'm not usually one for elaborate minis—one campaign saw us use Lego minifigs and it was quite fun—but the Niv-Mizzet figure they released to go with the Ravnica D&D supplement is very tempting.
The old WotC plastic figure collections were pretty nice and I was able to find them on the cheap. And their cardboard dungeon tiles were pretty good too.
The sizes on those Ravnica minis are a little disappointing... I'd love to have a sphinx that takes up most of the tabletop.

Been there, done that, incinerated the T-shirt :P
Less shock factor than with the Final Fantasy Bahamut figure (mentioned below) because they already knew I owned it. And then the other GM borrowed it a few years later. And for the most part people were more interested in playing with it than with actually doing the encounter.
Plus it's really hard to move. If you're doing a dynamic combat arena it's almost simpler to just redraw the scenery around it.

The really big figures are clunky on a small combat map, yeah. I find anything bigger than Huge category might as well just sit in place.
I'm still looking for a good excuse to break out my colossal+ great red wyrm 'mini'
My favorite that I'd ever seen was this lovely 24" tall Cthulhu. Pull *that* bad boy out and watch the players squirm!
Okay, technically it was a statuette, but the scaling wasn't too far off...

For me it was the Bahamut figure from 'FFVII Advent Children'. That was a good encounter...
Have you seen the six-foot inflatable Godzilla? That's to scale for tabletop miniatures, too. :-)
Took me a while to track this down. it's a vid of a GM who went above and beyond for his campaign's end-boss. Make sure the volume is on.

Extended commentary
I could still use a couple dragon or griffon characters if anyone's got one they'd like to see appear in a cutesy-but-disturbing space fantasy...

(Translation: I think you can take that note down now, NS.)
I never have fun with PvP, but sometimes I feel that I must, that's what my character would do at this moment. That leaves other people confused: if I don't like it, why am I doing it. So they probably think I secretly like it no matter how much I protest.
Guest Author's Note: "I wanted to emphasize that despite everything that's going wrong, everyone (well, almost everyone) is actually having fun. Especially Pinkie, who I felt was the one who most enjoyed her 'cursed' personality in the last arc.
This is the same dragon from this cover (fav.me/da4te49), which is also the same dragon from 'Dragonshy'. Poor guy's been trying to find a quiet place to nap for centuries and keeps getting interrupted."
