So please, share every picture, every info and every anything that you know about this unreleased quest pack.

A similar, but more classical Centaur was originally included in the unreleased Wizard Expansion Pack, however (later is was rejected).

That Minotaur miniature is not really from the unreleased quest pack, it is a D&D miniature that is similar to the concept sketch.

Pretty much all there is to know about the unreleased HeroQuest Quests Packs is in this blog: http://www.toco.be/ahq/unreleased.html. Apparently, the prototypes for the miniatures are owned by Rodney Phelps who posted the Barbarian and Elf Quest Pack prototypes that he owns on boargamegeek.com. He does not have permission to post the unreleased miniature prototypes, so the sketches that Toco obtained from the artists are all we have to go by.

I don't believe any of the text or quest maps exist for the unreleased quest packs, so anything beyond the new miniatures is speculation.

Toco put much effort and time in the project of unravelling plans of unreleased quest packs and put it all together on his site (the link Blackthorn posted).
I agree with Blackthorn: everything beyond that quite compiled workload by Toco is speculation.
He verified everything he could.

Still, it would be great if someday Mr. Phelps obtained permission to share the unreleased prototypes. Then we would know what could have been...and perhaps they could be used to create actual miniatures. Now, wouldn't that be something? 8-)

It's so frustrating knowing those 4-ups exist. I'd gladly pay the GW-price for a simple box containing just the plastic men and no quests or spells or anything. Just the minis. And perhaps some official stats. Some day perhaps... Some day...
I'm not so much into funding and kickstarters and stuff like that. Would it be possible to somehow start a userfunded group to buy the rights to have the figures made?
