I've never entered any contests, but most people tell me I should, and I've been offered upwards of $50 to paint single minis for people.That said, MOST of the DDM miniatures are good enough for me. I will admit, there are some that are just gawd-awful (troglodyte, I'm looking at you), but most of them are passable enough to play with.That's the key: "to play with". These are not shelf-quality collections. These are game pieces. I've played a few games of DDM now and I can tell you that I've spent exactly 0 minutes in-game caring about the paint quality of the miniatures.That's not to say that  paint quality doesn't matter! Of course, there would be a level that I would refuse to play out of principle, but so far this DDM set is well above that level. The best thing about these figs is that I could add a little paint of my own and make them look 3x as good, spending just a few minutes on a job rather than the hours I would have normally.Yes, some of the paint jobs are horrible, but most are good enough to play with. I certainly wish the quality was better on all the figs, but that would always be the case.As it is now:-Buy a booster-Open it up-Roll some dice!</blockquote>
