[QUOTE="greyhaze, post: 6086703, member: 54610"] Let me expand on that reply, as I don't want to come off dismissive since you took the time to respond to the thread. I am part of a community of PPM (pre-painted plastic miniatures) buyers, we're pretty excited each time new PPMs hit the market whether it's Dungeons and Dragons, Pathfinder Battles, HeroScape or even MageKnight. I've been part of that community for a very long time, and several requests keep popping up. The Kraken being one of them (perhaps not in this exact incarnation, but still Kraken hits the wishlists frequently). I want to provide something that is worth the money being put down. I tried to do this with a large group of smaller figures (which all scored high on polls we ran), but the overall costs ended up very high. With the single big figure, I can manage a much smaller goal. There is a very competitive market out there for miniatures (although several lines have ended), and we've opted to take the road less traveled - meaning, the broader appeal minis are generally those that are already heavily represented, and we're trying to fill some niches. Now, the Kraken I'm presenting is not simply just a giant squid, it does have unique details to make this a feature monster rather than just simply a giant squid - but, I wouldn't begrudge anyone that wanted to use it as a giant squid. Admittedly we are marketing to our loyal crowd, but that is because we can rely on their support. We're hoping that our quality and our selection will extend in to new communities like ENWorld. We would love to hear more feedback from people on ENWorld and find out what they want as PPMs as well. [/QUOTE]
