    That Jabberwock may be the most impressive booster box dragon-esque monster we've seen yet in any miniature line, hoping to see more like this and the young adult white dragon in the upcoming D&D sets.

    I really love this set! I don't play Pathfinder, just D&D 5e, but I could easily use these minis for my games and they would make an awesome addition to the little bit of minis I've been able to pick up. As a DM, any amount of minis that I can get my hands on helps tremendeously! My favorite of the set definitely has to be the Attic Whisperer!

    Honestly, this whole set is pretty incredible, I really like the Adamantine golem, Jabberwock, and Shoggoth. I'll be hoping for one of those to create an interesting encounter in a 5e game. Big props to Wizkids for making the coolest minis recently, the sculpts keep getting better and better!

  • @ezakustam
    @ezakustam 3 года назад +7

    Big minis, strange minis, good sculpts, and powerful creatures are my favorite. So this set is outstanding. It's a real shame about the breakages. It seems to be partly a consequence of daring sculpts, but packing two large minis without both locked down is a terrible idea. Not too woried about 4 more dollars for more big minis, but the greater number of rares (or singles) has me concerned. $40 - $60 for a small aftermarket pre-painted mini is not great. Ultimately, I agree with what you a said a while ago: my favorite minis are usually ones that facilitate good storytelling. Nice to see your kitty again, too.

    The detailed minis are amazing! Prices do tend to go up because of the detail of the minis but I hope it won't be that steep when they are sold on stores. Also, given the detail and weight of some of them, packaging and shipping should be priority so that buyers get the quality that they paid for.
    Good luck on your move and excited for the things to come this year from you guys!

    I love how this set seems to highlight a lot of what makes pathfinder distinct and characterful when compared to dungeons and dragons. I’m still of the opinion that the clear bases are in many ways more distracting and less effective at highlighting the figure than black bases, but some minis (like the leng spider and quoppopak) do make a lot of sense with clear bases.

    Perhaps you could get one of those clear button things that people put on the back of picture frames to keep them from leaning out from the wall...a bumper or something, not sure of the name...you can ask the framer at Michaels or something if one is near you what they are called...anywho...put one of those between the head and base of the big spider?

    Another great review. I was blown away by the quality of the paint on some of those commons. A lot of time, commons get neglected and its nice to see that isnt the case here.
    I have do have to mention that the price increase MAY not be because of the sizes. I know that the $20 MSRP is also hitting the upcoming D&D release, Boneyard. I dont know much about what in that set yet (only a handful of figures have been previewed), but maybe that set is also running heavy on the big creatures too.
