[QUOTE="Hexmage-EN, post: 8163803, member: 79428"] I know this is technically correct, but I find it a bit funny in light of the fact that there's seemingly always new unpainted WizKids miniatures at my FLGS every week. I've been able to get minis for races like tortles, firbolgs, and tabaxi (which all appear to be more popular than the poor githyanki and githzerai, which have been hanging form the racks for a long time now), and recently they've even started selling multiclass figures, such as Fighter/Wizard minis. Looking at the monsters, I'm seeing figures for nalfeshnee, giant snakes, the venom and rot trolls from Mordenkainen's Tome of Foes, etc. Then you have to take into account both the minis WizKids makes for Pathfinder and Reaper's own product line. One guy I've played with has even set himself up with a little side business where people will give him minis they've purchased for him to paint (I've got at least two dozen painted by him, though most I've painted myself). Between WizKids, Reaper, and various designers making sculpts for 3D printing (if you don't have a 3D printer, check Etsy; I just purchased a new mini for a gloom golem, a monster that was only featured in 3E and never had an official mini), there's never been as many options for D&D miniatures.
