Does anybody else wish that WOTC would release paper pawns, similar to Paizo?

[QUOTE="painted_klown, post: 6465542, member: 6785485"] If they are an official or officially licensed product with quality equal to Paizo's pawns, I would be willing to pay the equivalent cost for WOTC's version. Yeah, the entire Monster Manual (with multiples of monsters that would be found in groups), plus packs to cover all official 5E adventures/modules, etc. Clearly, these couldn't all be released in one giant box, but if they spread them out over X amount of boxes, I think these could be a viable source of revenue for them. This thread already demonstrates that collectors of plastic minis aren't going to stop buying those, so they will not be cannibalizing their own product sales. Then you have guys like me who are unable, or unwilling, to buy random booster boxes only to hope they get the one they need, who would gladly toss them the funds to buy paper pawns knowing they will get exactly what they want/need. It's a win/win IMO. As far as making my own, I have a few issues. The cost of printer ink & supplies to do a bunch of these would cost FAR more than the cost of buying commercially made versions. The quality would not be as high and they would be inconsistent at best. Additionally, I would have to take a lot of time to make all of these myself, and to be 100% honest, I am not good at all with even the simplest arts/crafts projects...Simply put, it isn't worth the time, money, hassle, etc for me to try to produce a home brew set. Therefore, I would love to see professionally made versions. Clearly I am in a minority here, but realistically, it doesn't matter. Either WOTC will make these or they won't, my opinion has no sway with them. I doubt they (WOTC) ever will make them, to be honest. I was just making conversation because I think they are cool and wondered what all of you thought. :) [/QUOTE]
