Pathfinder 1E Pathfinder figures to replace DDM figures!!!!

[Moorcrys]

Some of their own renditions of the kobolds and goblins might be cool.

Yep. Any monsters and I'd be into it. I have a ton of the standard races - elves, dwarves, halflings, a few gnomes, etc. It's the weirder stuff that I'd like to get ahold of. Except beholders... Wizards made sure I'll never have too few of them.

I know that prepainted plastics don't carry nearly the detail of metal figurines, but I am an absolute failure at arts and crafts. If I painted the minis myself, I'd scare the children. Prepainted plastics are a sound alternative to my lack of skill. Then I can round out my minis by purchasing a few of the really odd creatures in metal that I'd like to have lying around and pay someone with talent to paint them for me... but that is definitely cost prohibitive.

BTW I like Scott Rouse's idea of the clickers underneath showing some status conditions, although I don't know how they'd handle multiple conditions - most of the monsters at our table end up stacked with debilitating conditions round-to-round. But it could at least represent bloodied/non-bloodied.

Cheers.

Because they are made by WizKids the minis could use the click base. This would be a very elegant way to track various conditions for each character as there would be no longer a need for using separate markers.

The picture in the news post does not show this which would be a lost opportunity IMO.

I actually found some Wizkids pre-painted minis in Hastings a few weeks ago that did NOT use the clix bases . . . they were from the Gremlins movies (80s)! There was a second licensed set without clix bases from a horror movie, but I can't remember which one. So, Wizkids has already dipped their toes into the licensed figures market outside of their clix games.

$13 for 4 miniatures pretty much dooms this to failure. That is an outrageous price to ask for this.

If the quality is as good as in the pictures (rarely the case), then I'd happily pay $13 for a set of four.

What is really going to kill it is the fact that few people will have any reason to buy more than one.

Since remembering that there even was a line of Player's Handbook' figures I have only found a lone pack of Martial Heroes....

Ummm, I really don't have a wide pool to go by, even for that one release, but... were they all that bad?

Yes.

The only PH heroes out of any of the sets I even like are the person with a staff from the Divine Heroes set, and a woman with a scimitar (there are paint problems, but easily fixed; I just like the pose) from I believe the Primal set.

I got 3D masters of the four minis in this set yesterday, and they have an incredible level of detail. I am really happy with them. Some of that detail will likely be covered by paint in the final analysis, but WizKids is taking extra care to get the painting right on these. They tell us these are the most elaborate paint jobs they have ever done as a company. I have very high expectations for this set.

I definitely appreciate folks who are skeptical of these because they aren't monsters, because they're visible, because they're just one set, etc. Orders are already coming in on these things, and they are phenomenal. If this is a test (and it is), things are looking very good from where I sit.
