Wow - and people have been bragging about how the paint jobs keep improving...

The Wizard Tactician must be frightened - check out his eyes!

In all fairness, I do think some of the monsters look decent, but this fig is just bad, bad bad.

Consider that the image is bigger than the actual mini. I actually really like this one. (Eyes are always a problem).

OK - discounting the eyes - what do you like about it? The color choices are not just bright, they clash in an unappealing way. The salmon-colored leather bits are silly looking. The skin tones are overlapping nearly every other part of the miniature. I just do not see a decent mini here Merric.

I realize this could be an endless argument like arguing something along the lines of what's good music because this is a matter of taste. However, I usually agree with you and appreciate your upbeat approach to WOTC's products and gaming in general. But, you go this one wrong

It's obviously a Tinker. (see Wheel of Time)

The big thing about it is that it's a Female Wizard. (Count the number of other female wizards we've had so far... there haven't been many).

I like the blue and the green. The red... urk. However, it's got more lively colours than many figures, so that's good.

Incidentally, a back shot of the figure is now up on the maxminis boards. (See the link above).

Cheers!

Those colours are painful...

I don't think the paint job is that bad, save for the color selection. I have to agree it tends to clash quite a bit.

 

[ThirdWizard]

Bah, you people and your "color." I think it looks good. HA! See, life is better when you're colorblind! I win!

 

[VirgilCaine]

Yes, you win life. You didn't need to see the colors, Duke, the colors!

It looks much better in person. And the colours are much better than the Wand Expert:
