I don't like counters that only show head and shoulders, etc.  All the figures are full "downward" looking fiqures, that shows the whole "monster".  Most of the artwork is very good, and some is downright exceptional...I really like the Dragons, and the Blebeth is fantastic.4) Scaling- the counters are scaled apropriately to that given in the moster manual...ie they take up multiple squares like the monster should...I've used mini's in the past, where this has gotten to be somewhat confusing because the mini is scaled differetly that other mini's or the battle board.The bad:1) Price - the counters are somewhat expensive...I especially think the really big counters are overpriced (I think the people at dragonscalecoutners have reached the same conclusion and lowered the prices on their big counters last time I checked)...for the 250 or so counters I've paid about 80 bucks including shipping.  I can't really say thier horribly overpriced, most counters are about 25 cents, which is 1/10 the price of a mini.One good thing about dragonscalecounters are their shipping and handling prices...very reasonable, ranging from about 1.50 for smaller purchases to 3.50 for larger purchases with large counters....you can buy just a couple counters you want for the next game and not kick yourself about the shipping and handling costs.2) The artwork - while most of the artwork is quite good, some of the counters are only adequate, but you can see which ones you like and don't like on their website (I purchased one of each counter just to get a good look at them, and their are some I wouldn't buy more of, just because I'm not a fan of the artwork...but then again there are some I purchased extras of just because of the artwork.)Final Conclusion: 4 out of 5 stars</blockquote>
