[QUOTE="Crothian, post: 2011157, member: 232"] Stand-Ins Printable Figures - Modern & Superheroes Set #1 It is to see some sets of paper figures come out for the modern and superhero games. These are paper stand ups that once can print from their own computer to use in place of miniatures for a more tactical combat experience in their role playing games. This product is very much like the other by Interactive Design Adventures. They also have a fantasy set and a sci-fi set of paper stand ins. This product is about the art. The artists are Jacob E Blackmon and Marcum Curlee. These guys present about three hundred and fifty different figures in this book. Most are black and white, but there is some color ones as well. The art is good and there are many, many different figures. There are gangsters, cowboys, school kids, as well as many super heroes of many types and sizes. There are a few heroes that are presented at different sizes so they can be shown shrinking down or growing in size. The color ones are nice and well done. There is a good mix of heroes and more general type figures like cultists, school kids, and soldiers. All of the color ones except a large gorilla are of the standard human size. I like the art and I like the look of these figures. The books come to one is a twenty five meg zip file. Inside there are three different pdfs. The first is the cover which is a little under three megs in size. The second is the pdf of all the black and white stand ins and that files is a bit over seventeen megs in size. The final pdf is all the color figures and it is over five megs in size. The pdf does cost twelve dollars to get and one has to print these out which can cost a bit more for some people. It is nice that one can print out multiple copies of each one and select individual pages to print. But it can add up in costs. One problem I do have with this is the generic superheroes. Each is named and I think it’s a little tougher to have a generic super powered person then say a generic troll. I would have preferred if they just had pictures of many of the standard super hero types and left the name blank for people to use for their own player characters and non player characters. Obviously it is not that big of deal to cross out one name and rename a figure if that is what someone needs to do. Another small problem I have is one of the characters named Copy Cat has six figures of her. Each one is in a different pose, but I still don’t see the need for six figures of this same super powered woman. Overall this is a nice product for people who have need for these types of figures. The art is good, there is a wide range of figures in the genres, and it has the facilities to print out thousands of these stand ups. [/QUOTE]
