I feel if they are going to do this, they need to make two versions (male and female) for each class, in each character race available.

I know that would be very expensive, but then everyone would have incentive to try and obtain the right mini to represent their character.

This wouldn't do that.

My chainmail and shuriken Female gnomish Cleric wouldn't be represented.

It would be nice, but I don't think it would happen unless the product took off and many future sets were made.

They are not doing this for D&D. They are doing it for a new battle game. They are then cross promoting by making the miniatures work with D&D.

Two wild elf barbarians (M&F) would be the same mechanically. Thus, there would be one less piece in the game.

Quite frankly, you are better off purchasing metal miniatures for your PCs. The PC miniatures given by this set are likely to be quite generic, or quite wrong.

However, it's a great source of cheap monster figures. As a rule, a player will need ONE miniature (their PC), which ends up cheaper bought in metal than buying lots of random packs and searching for the right one through them... but the DM who needs lots of monsters will find these much more useful.

Cheers!

My group has found that multicolored numbered dice, especially d10s, work fine for keeping track of monsters on the battlemat. That said, the plastic monster minis will be a guilty pleasure I'll gladly indulge in.

Another way to do it is to use chocolates (like M&Ms). That way, the players have an additional incentive to kill the monsters - they get to eat the token.

There's just something about having a 3D representation of a monster that looks a little like what it should be (in contrast to tokens, counters or lego pieces). I've always been turned off metal miniatures because

* they're expensive
* I have to assemble them
* I have to paint them

Cheers!
