D&D miniatures are compatible with existing metal miniatures, so you can hand-pick your "star" figures, while using the random figs for rank-and-file miniatures. Of course, this assumes you paint your figures.If you don't paint your figures, one thought is to cherry-pick your figures from a **Mageknight** player. MK figures use the same sculpts and paint jobs for all of its rarities, except Unique. Trade a D&D common for a MK common, saw off the MK figure from its base, and give it back to the MK player. You have a figure you want, the MK player has the novelty of a new figure on an old dial.I don't see how players will end up buying the miniatures, although they sure make easy gifts for a GM. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt="(:" title="Smile    (:"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname="(:" /> The GM will have to tailor his adventures for his miniatures, which should be a minor PITA. ("What? We're fighting five orcs AGAIN???")OTOH, Idiots like myself who enjoy collecting mass-produced art will eat this stuff up like... we used to do with dice! Can't wait for my bday to place an order with Potomac. $.75 per painted miniature? No contest!Cedric.aka. Washu! ^O^</blockquote>
