In my book these are products that have both pros and cons. Pros: 1 one is burnt out on painting minatures 2 one has never done it, and is skeptical of resualt of personail paint job,3 or one simply lacks the time. Cons: 1 these minis come assorted randomly and to get a suffecient amount of what a DM needs will run a tade to a suffecient amount over what one could purchase at such sites as the war store 2 the sculpts are down right crummy compaired to many metal sculpts out there 3 the paint jobs are indeed mediocore to shoddy. I bout three packs at a single trip to my LHS and two of these minis had areas that lacked paint (though tiny areas). But for a standard tabletop need the paint job will surffice.         The last of these cons brangs me to a valide truth: with a little extra time one could easly get good enouph to paint all the base colors on the mini without messing up. In return less time is spent buying the amount needed for an adventure, and one is getting astounding sculpts that the players can draw inspiration on for their characters, and monsters the DM can feel wickedly awe inspiring when slapping down on the matt.      2ed. D&D is pretty much exsempt from the need of minatures. 3ed D&D is just that 3-D in compairson. BTW about 120 bucks of quality paint and brushs will last about 200 minis with only using the base colors.       As for what company to buy from:  there really is no compitition to Reaper minis. They got much more then one would ever need, and growing every month in huge quantities (no exsageration).</blockquote>
