[QUOTE="trancejeremy, post: 2912723, member: 924"] For people who like to paint (and aren't allergic to metal), yeah, there will always be options. The cost of casting something in metal is incredibly cheap, so you can find metal minis of just about anything. I remember when I used to read the minatures usenet group, there was one company that liked to put out minis of old west saloon girls bathing. Which never seemd to useful for a game, but someone must buy them. (That and topless cat women) But some people simply don't like to paint or can't do it very well (and paying someone dramatically ramps up the cost). Anyway, I think the D&D minis could run into trouble when Hasbro comes out with that new game. Dreamblade? Part of what hurt Wizkids is they started putting out too many CMGs. Too many mini games and you start cannibalizing your customer base. I think it's more likely Dreamblade will flop, but you never know. [/QUOTE]
