These minis look awesome, especially the Denizen, Wraith and Scanderig! The URL for the bigger images isn't active though, but I can't wait to see these in person!
They do look great! Really intrigued by the Scanderig mini.

D'oh! The urls for the bigger images have been fixed :)
Wow, these look outstanding! Love the Denizen, can't wait (I also just got my H&M brick, and the Ettin - among others- looks amazing "in person").

Scanderig and Denizen of Leng look fabulous!
These DO look fabulous!
I tried to show last friday's post to DW. She said that she would rather wait for the surprise of seeing them as we open the case! Amazing self control in an amazing woman!!
Awesome, I'm ready and I haven't seen the other 50. Wishing my life away but can't hardly wait for june. These minis and the RotRL conversion, coinciding with a new gaming venue. I have no words to describe my joy.
So what I want to know is set size booster size and booster brick and case prices cause I must own a complete set of these
I really love the Pathfinder minis! These ones look awesome! I can hardly wait for them to come out! Do we know more or less?

Anyone else look at the ghoul and think
Alas, poor Yorick! I ate him, Horatio; a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent taste; he hath filled my nagging belly a thousand times; and now, how abhorred in my imagination it is! My gorge rises at it. Here hung those lips that I have rudely chewed off. Where be your ribs now?
The words for how excited I am about the Denizen of Leng? I don't have any that don't completely understate it.
The only disappointing thing for me about the HM set was how generic most of the pieces were; I can't think of anything from that set that I didn't already have represented via my old D&D minis. This set is where things are starting to get interesting.
Also: Paizo, your mascot is a GOLEM. When are we gonna get a PAIZO GOLEM mini?
Absotively Fabuloustrous!!!!!
I had to make words up to get a proper level of praise goin'. This set will be mind-boggling!

The clear plastics were definitely missed in H&M and these look great. It's hard to tell from just a pic, but I rather like the grill attempt Erik - just sayin'.
There is really "nothin but net" in terms of the quality of the sculpts and paints on these. I am impressed. Great call on the common ghoul, too!
Definately some unique minis in set. I really like the Denizen of Leng.
The Pathfinder Minis gallery has been updated.
Erik, the orc fan in me just has to ask if there is any chance you could tell us if there are any more orcs coming in this set? If so, would it be possible to leak us with some teaser info, such as their names?
Kor-Orc I really appreciate keeping track of the update, please keep it up. As if fridays needed anymore reason to be awesome.
Kor: There are no more orcs coming in this set. There just aren't any in Rise of the Runelords at all. Sorry!
Well, thankfully the H&M Orc Warrior was just so awesome for a pre-painted mini, I think I can hold off until the next set... hopefully :)

Yeah, these are OK I guess. But what kind of city watchmen are we getting?

I was actually thinking he is about to go bowling. Denizen of Leng is the definite winner in my mind out of those four. So far my favorite is the Bugbear however.
Is there any specific reason Malfeshnekor was chosen to be uncommon (instead of rare)? Such unique creatures seem more naturally to fit into the rare category to me, on the basis of usability of likely duplicates in a case. (In fact, I'd prefer these to be the apparent 'super rare' category).

My guess is even though it is a named single NPC in the path, as a general creature it is plenty possible to encounter more than one in a different higher level campaign.

This.
Also, sometimes there are technical reasons why certain figures are more advantageous to fit on the same mold, which can have rareness implications. I'm not saying this is the case here, but it has happened before and will happen again.
Cheers. That all makes sense.
Scanderig and Denizen of Leng look fabulous!
Agreed, particularly the Scanderig - just as frightening as it should be.
However...
Runelords:
I'll definitely want several ghouls and at least one denizen. I'm not sure I like the wraith but it is consistent, artistically, with the HM specter. The scanderig is interesting, but I can't see it fitting into my campaign world.
Regards,
V
I don't know much about Scanderig's, but if I was an evil minion trying to help one out I'd probably prefer to be able to stuff characters in from the front or the back of this guy. I agree with leaving the bars off of the back!

Awesome selection, still looking forward to the case incentive mini. Hey Erik think we could get a look at that now? I mean you've been teasing us with it since before Christmas.
My guess would be that Erik is waiting until Wizkids have finalised the packaging for the sety before showing off the Rune Giant case incentive.
I can't help but wonder what the Scanderig and Wraith mini's would look like if you drilled up through the base and inserted a high intensity LED.
You know it figures, just as I'm finishing this series for my players these come out.

I got as far as "Alas, poor Yorick!" Then I saw the rest of the minis and went no farther.
Did you see the Sir Patrick Stewart/ David Tenant version of Hamlet that was released to DVD last year? It was very well done. I wish that I could have seen the stage version.

From the pictures, it seems to me like the Scanderig would look better with the "grill" on the back. It seems to me like it would look strange to have the entire backside of the monster just be open.
I suspect the problem is that the rear bars are painted on as opposed to textured. If it was raised opaque plastic matching the rest of its body it might work. Either way, I trust Eric's judgement.

The first half looked a lot like the back of a fat guys head. The second half was much more interesting, as he didn't make it back from the interval (I have an alibi). Alas, it was during the period where Tenant had hurt his back, but his understudy was pretty good.

Don't worry Sweetheart... I have the dvd you can watch later. You can sit in the toddler seat for that complete theatre experience.

I am jealous!
I did get to see Patrick Stewart in Macbeth a few years back. That was the best stage production I have ever seen. I have the DVD of that production and, though it is good, it is not as good as the stage version.
