I'd be interested to see if the advent of D&D minis has negatively impacted the sales of, say, Reaper. It seems to me that the cheap, pre-painted minis make it more likely that "on the fence" gamers now use minis in their game. Does this type of player _only_ buy pre-painted minis, or does he sometimes buy a metal miniature when what he's looking for isn't available in plastic?Compleat Encounters are not meant to represent rank-and-file villains like orcs and kuo-toa. We know there are several inexpensive options for those types of critters. Rather, our products focus on a dynamic encounter with memorable NPCs, and for that metal seemed the absolute best route to go. If nothing else, the better sculpting options for metal makes it easier to pick up the wonderful detail Wayne Reynolds is providing us in his sketches so far. A lot of that detail will be lost in a plastic mini (although the Wizards ones are getting really, really impressive), so we're confident metal was the right choice.We'll see how it goes, of course. <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=":)" />--Erik MonaPaizo Publishing</blockquote>
