Best miniatures ever made

Mahon in Worst Miniatures Ever Made wrote:I believe many of you have your own candidates, and even now a few manufacturers keep trying to make the worst miniature in history.

Feel free to post pictures of the worst/silliest/ugliest/etc. miniatures ever made.
And if you explain your choice - it's even better.

Yes, be subjective, be biased, be sentimental, be nostalgic. Show no respect!

The only rule: don't post THE MINI, we already know many of you don't like it. we're looking for alternatives It would be boring to see it over and over again...
Selection of the best mini ever made will not be half as exciting, controversial or fun, but let's try, shall we? :)

Rephrasing Mahon's introduction:

I believe many of you have your own candidates, and even now a few manufacturers keep trying to make the worst best miniature in history.

Feel free to post pictures of the worst/silliest/ugliest/etc. best/greatest/most beautiful miniatures ever made and officially released.
And if you explain your choice - it's even better.

Yes, be subjective, be biased, be sentimental, be nostalgic. Show no respect Show us what you like!

The only rule: don't post THE MINI, we already know many of you don't like it it's not the best mini ever made. We're looking for alternatives something better. Much, much better! It would be boring shocking to see it over and over again here...

Now, are you able to pick just one best mini....

oo choo hard decision
as you know i havent posted in "worst minatur ever" - as ther whas a problem - worst i wich criteria ??
Asembly ??
Casting ??
idea ??
over all feel ??

so i started to think how would like "perfect" 1
end first pop up Drune Rider from Rackham a "death Deler" from Frazetta paintings .. then i rymemberd how thous wer casted end how that made me furious when i got to mount that end then go to club end play with that mini ... - without disasembling it by actident

wich instantly eliminated Helldorado candidates :P

so after a long elimination proces i decide to choos mini that is gr8 iwen without painting it, blah - iven without assembing, end cleaning
and i ended staring at thini minature in my hands

Candidate #3 Fu-uk Alice

she whas almoust tied with HFP017 Brooke - face expesion (but mini is flat)

wich leads to Worst minature will be totaly reverse of this - without story , multipart nightmare poorly casted wich dont look good iven if master painted ... wich is quite close to Nagash .... but will serch for alternative :)
