[QUOTE="mmadsen, post: 287723, member: 1645"] [b]Re: A plea and recommendation to Hasbro[/b] Those molds go back decades. In fact, some of the "new" figures being put out are reissues of figures put out years ago by now-defunct companies. You'd think they could put out a fantasy miniatures game, wouldn't you? Did you see the Star Wars Epic Duel Game that came out with Episode II? It was chock full of plastic Star Wars miniatures, all for $20. Those are 25 mm "little army men". I'd prefer hard plastic, particularly for units with spears, staves, etc., but, yeah, it would be great to see whole sets of cheaper figures. Just how do they paint those miniatures? I think the D&D gamer would love an awe-inspiring figure for his PC, but unless you paint dozens of figures (to improve your painting skill) -- and buy all the little tools (files, brushes, paints) -- your figure won't be one of the awe-inspiring ones. Anyway, D&D gamers don't buy armies of expensive metal figures; that's why GW caters to the obsessive miniatures hobbiests. [/QUOTE]
