I think it is the Wiz Kids style, but it is hard to tell exactly what the final minis will look like. At Gen Con I saw the four PC minis and they looked far better than the original minis that had been shown. The paint job was much better and more like the D&D minis (which tend to have brighter colors, more contrast, more wash/dry brush effects, etc.). I have trouble figuring out if their monster minis will improve like that or not. From the Paizo boards the answers weren't clear enough. If I look at the Pathfinder ettin I prefer any of the three D&D minis to it, for example. I personally chose to just work on getting more of the D&D minis I lack instead of buying the Pathfinder ones. That might just be my style preference (there are very few WizKids minis I really like paint-style-wise).
November and December will see the Pathfinder mini releases and let us know for sure. Plus, lines change over time. I do think the four minis (which are sold separately from this intro set but match the PCs inside) are likely to be of good quality if they match the paint job I saw at Gen Con. I am glad to see someone else tackle minis and I suspect the entire industry will watch this closely. If Paizo can make random plastic minis work beyond an initial set it will be a very interesting development (since Wizards could not make it work financially).
