[QUOTE="Dannager, post: 5576086, member: 73683"] While this would be super amazing awesome if they did it, it seems pretty improbable. One of the biggest hurdles they'd have to overcome is convincing people to buy all of these minis after the entire adventure path is complete. Since later adventures in the path aren't necessarily finished by the time the first adventure comes out, and because it takes time to sculpt and produce a line of minis, there will naturally be a pretty lengthy gap of time between the release of an adventure path and the release of its accompanying minis set. This means that any DMs who decide to run the adventure path when it comes out (or even a few months after it comes out) will probably be a good chunk of the way through the campaign before the minis are released, which makes them much less likely to spend the cash buying a set of minis that includes monsters the party has already killed. In order to make this feasible, Paizo would have to have an adventure path finished months in advance, and not release it until the accompanying minis set is ready to ship. This would require that Paizo find an extra six months or so under the couch cushions, though, so I won't be holding my breath. Also, if they were to create minis for every monster/noteworthy NPC in the adventure path, the entire path's minis would probably sell for in excess of $300, even if some encounters re-used minis.
