[QUOTE="Olaf the Stout, post: 5792403, member: 13703"] I have to disagree with you in regards to complaints about size difference to DDM being unfair. Paizo/WizKids would have known and expected that a large segment, if not the majority, of the people buying Pathfinder minis would also own DDMs. As such, for their customers to get the most use out of them, the Pathfinder minis should be scaled so that they can be used interchangeably with DDMs. If they decide to make their minis a slightly different scale a few different things could happen. People who own DDMs and are considering getting Pathfinder minis will: a. Buy Pathfinder minis, use their DDMs and Pathfinder minis together and just ignore the differences in scale between the 2 lines. b. Buy Pathfinder minis and get rid of/not use their DDMs. c. Not buy Pathfinder minis and just stick with their DDMs. Given that the DDM line has been around for many years, has a much larger range of figures and represent a significant sunk cost for many people, I would expect that if the difference in scale was noticeable enough many people would go with option C. This obviously results in lower sales of Pathfinder minis, so it is definitely in Paizo/WizKids interest to ensure that their minis are the same scale (or as close as possible) to DDMs. Olaf the Stout [/QUOTE]
