[QUOTE="Imaro, post: 3449900, member: 48965"] Just throwing a thought out there and wondering what people think. Ok here I go. I was wondering if players woud be more likely to buy miniatures that were non-random and painted. I was thinking about this for a few reasons. 1.) A player will probably want a mini that is as close as possible to the character he has created. 2.) I wonder if players might even buy a few mini's to represent their character "over time"(even at $2.50 to $3.50 for a single, this isn't that much over a ten or even twenty level campaign). We'll say 3 different figures(low, med, & high level) so a $10-$11 investment over the life of a campaign. 3.) They won't be getting a bunch of mini's they can't use like monsters or other stuff. 4.)They can actually select what mini they want. 5.) DM/GM's seem like a finite resource, once they get enough of certain mini's they won't buy those mini's. Players on the other hand always want more options and will probably(if the price is low enough) customize their character with new mini's. So what do you guys think, it's kind of like WotC's marketing model only applied to minis instead of books. It makes me consider that maybe Reaper & Rackham should concentrate on player character mini's first, or at least give a nice selection early on. Am I looking at this in a flawed way?
