Give me a Hell Yeah! These are magnificent, but then I am a transparent plastic junkie. That Ochre Jelly is as wonderful as I hoped it would be, even better now that I can see the skeletal remains inside. Uncommon as well, so easy to get hold off, especially in light of its ability to split.
I assume the Daughter is rare? I like the design but I'm curiously a little cold on the colour scheme. I'm certain it works better in hand and the transparent effect is great.
Now the Punk. I so wanted this in plastic, form the moment I saw its artwork. As a small I admire the detail and work and understand the rarity. Wish it was uncommon, but I may be alone in that after all how often so you use a pickled foetus in your games? One small thing in my mind; I think the walls of his glass container and the fluid from within should have been a different colour, but overall colour me impressed.

Thought that might be the case. Don't get me wrong it a beautiful(?) mini and as I said one I wanted from the moment is saw it's art, I personally think you and wizkids do an amazing job on this line. In fact much in this set is want I really wanted. I seem to have been on good pasture since the last set. I got my Shamhazian, then the mi-go, elder thing, transparent ochre jelly etc.
Would you care to elaborate on the ultra expensive minis? Which ones? I understand this one given size and use of transparent plastic.

I counted 7 small minis, 22 medium minis and 12 large minis so far.
Additionally we have seen 5 of the 6 Dungeon Dressings
(all medium except the Iron Maiden which has to be large to be able to swallow a medium mini).
That means we still have either 1 small and 2 medium minis OR 3 medium minis unrevealed AND one Dungeon Dressing.
Personally i like the dressings because
a) they are on top of the 45 minis
b) we only get one (max 2) of each in a case
c) it´s great for flavor and transformations into mimics *evilgrin*
But in the next set i would really love to see chairs and tables or better yet a seperate set of 4 medium (1 square) chairs and 4 large (2 squares long) tables. ;-)
More great options here. Like I said before, this is turning into my favorite set so far. Wonderful stuff here.
I have to admit I was unsure of the Ochre Jelly when I saw the spoiler photos from the trade shows, but seeing it in clear photos and knowing the details, it is gone from "ok" to "I love it. :-)
I love all three of these minis. So far I am loving all the pieces in this set but one.
Is there any news about Iconic Heroes Set #4? Do we know yet if that is still happening?
I just got my Set #2 last week and I love them!
While I wouldn't mind a throne or something as a future dungeon dressing piece, I'm not so sure I'd love a table and chair set. While I definitely love the idea of a theme of that sort, regular furniture is the type of thing that makes more sense as a visible package.
Also, I've got another non-miniature idea for you to consider.
I'm aware that the Iconics are pretty popular among Pathfinder fans. And I seem to recall others saying they'd love bigger versions of the Iconics line so they could show them off as display pieces. Perhaps you could partner/license with a company and create a line of Iconics statues.
A company like Tweeterhead would probably be able to do the Pathfinder characters really well. Sideshow Collectibles is another company that (occasionally) puts out quality work. Perhaps a company like Pop Culture Shock would be able to do your heroes proud. I know that Jerry, the head of PCS, is always looking for a new and unique license that interests him. Finally, Kotobukiya does some really nice 1:6 & 1:7 scale plastic statues. They'd be a great company to partner with, too.
One final option could be Randy Bowen and Bowen Designs. They've lost their Marvel license and I've heard Randy is going through some personal issues at the moment. Perhaps when everything gets sorted out he'll be ready to make something new and different.
It's just something to think about...
So close.....I suspect my players will be meeting the archetypal Daughter of Urgathoa around about June. I just know it'll turn up about a week later. :(
This set is awesome.
The set looks great.
Pickled punk and ochre jelly are great additions. The Daughter of Urgathoa looks cool - but seems like one that will look better in hand.
It's veeeeeeeeery tempting to sign up for a subscription.
I'm still holding out, but my resistance is futile if the replacement minis are included and look as good as the rest of this set.
Any news about the future of the Iconics line?
It appears Set #3 is shipping this month. I assume there will be a small break before the next wave of sets, since I don't think we've heard anything yet. I was under the impression they were going to run through the Iconics in the other books.
And I definitely wouldn't mind seeing a high-quality LEM sometime soon.
