Not minis I'm interested in, but maybe you skirmish lovers will get some use out of 'em...

 

[Mystery Man]

I quit buying minis for the same reason I quit playing magic 6 years ago. Too frickin many editions too damn soon and way, way, way too much money.

 

[the Jester]

None of those minis really do it for me, though Rikka the Angelic Avenger looks really cool.

Rikka looks like the classic cheesecake fantasy covers. I'm not sure I'd like a lot of these types of figure, but this one is actually very nostalgic.

I like the Nentyar Hunter. It has a really impressive sculpt & paint job. If only all the FR figures in this set were like her (non-unique, easily used as a proxy for other things, not a drow), I'd be ecstatic! She could be a druid or ranger with a barkskin spell active, an angry dryad, she could have an Eldeen Graft from Magic of Eberron (I think - I just skinned that chapter), etc. etc., and her skirmish abilities could prove to be very interesting as well. The Earth Shugenja is notable for the introduction of Bull's Strength to the skirmish game. It'll be fun to see how that plays out, especially with it's restriction to 16 point or less figures. I'm glad I traded for that squad of Warforged Fighters recently! The Slayer & Rikka do nothing for me. A waste of a rare slot and too much cheesecake for my tastes, respectively.

I actually like these. I've got three female players, with three female characters in each of two campaigns. It is a royal pain to find female PC-worthy figs. The Slayer is a sure win for one character.
