Well Balors do have a Strength of 35
Ive always thought of Demons being the more Physically stronger while Devils have more brains
For example if a Balor encountered a group of Paladins intering in its plans then it would simply charge in swinging
A Pit Fiend on the otherhand would try and corrupt the Paladins to his cause |

True. But I tend to think of balors with regard to their powerful magical abilities -- rather than just their strength.

I must say that I'm not hugely into the 'signed' bit re my FR products, but I do smile when I see the signatures and messages in my FRCS lovingly sent to me by mates there.
I'd rather get something signed by THO ... like a Thayan slaver's whip ...

According to MikeD Underdark has more FR figures than any other set previously releaed. Archfiends had the previous record with between 15 and 20 figures, so there should be at least 15 or more FR creatures in Underdark set

Hmmm... good point .
Although, with the Universe expansion for the SW minis line already being released... my gold pieces are going to be stretched rather thin over the coming weeks.

Why?
your probably better off buying them as Singles
At least one online stores is selling a complete set of Commons and a Complete set of Uncommons as a pack (You get 1 of each figure) also some of the less popular VR are quite cheap ie 10 USD |
