Reaper to produce pre-painted Plastic minis - Non-random

[JRR_Talking]

will buy lots of 'monsters' and several adventurer types

dont need any more mook orcs, skellies, etc as u can get them sort of commons dirt cheap on ebay.

if they make things with 4 or more legs, not two, ill be in. No dwarves please.

I'm a European gamer, and I've bought hundreds of minis from eBay. If you shop carefully, you can find sellers willing to ship a dozen minis for about $5. If some of those minis are average- or below-priced rares, this is a bargain.

Agreed.

I'm in the UK and I find the DDM secondary market and trading communities work just fine.

Reaper non random pre-painted minis - sounds interesting. Whats the price going to be?

Making no mention of it in the hyped up press release immediately makes me think that they'll be expensive. I'll make a decision on them when I see some sample shots of production minis with a genuine price tag attached.

Sorry. But overall, count me interested but cynical.

My favorite part:
[quote="Reaper Minis]Like our Dark Heaven Legends miniature line, future releases into Legendary Encounters™ will include every type of creature imaginable.[/quote]
Right now I'm imagining a creature with the tail of a scorpion, the body of a kangaroo, and the head of a pterodactyl.

What - Did you mean a Wyvern?

DDM had one of those in Aberrations. Although the kangaroo part is sort of hard to identify given the crappy paintjob

Hey, I think this is great news. If anything...I like Reaper's more classical art style better than WOTCs.

I'm looking forward to this.

Not "every creature imaginable" but "every TYPE of creature imaginable." I am sure Reaper will make some magical beasts, some outsiders, some aberrations, and so on.

I hope reaper makes a version of their metal marilith in pre-painted plastic form. It's an awesome looking mini (IMO).

I am not sure if this is great news but I like that there will be another avenue of mini's I can get if needed.
I have absolutely no problem with the way DDM is done now.

Greatest announcement ever. I'm so glad someone is stepping in this Arena. Even happier that its Reaper. I hope the quality is good, and the price is low. I'll definitely purchase these over DDM. Much less hassle free for me.

Ooooh! I haven't even thought of this! Reaper could give us a decent pre-painted plastic Marilith!!! Wizards failed miserably with theirs. (I mean, they are supposed to be very comely, but the Wizards mini could make one forswear sex for life! )
