These are GREAT! I'll post links to picks when next we game. I normally use a red 6mm die placed on the mini's base to designate who carried the torch or were it was set down/thrown, etc...
You could also stick a tiny flying creature to the base, to allow familiars to be 'perched' on their masters, or attacking a larger creature in the same square.

If you like using dice as indicators with your minis, but hate having to precariously perch said dice on the tiny bit of exposed base you might have, you'll want to check out these.
I put a 6mm die on the miniature base, not the miniature on the die. Plan on grabbing a set of flying stands soon, I always used white foam discs under the mini's base to indicate flying, several in fact, each disc represented a different altitude. Thinking I can use those stands with a 6mm die on the base to determine altitude...

Is it possible to get these for 25mm square bases.....I mostly use reaper minis which use square bases.
It would be also great to have sets of four of these with bats etc to use to indicate which squares a swarm is in.
I don't believe they're available as squares. However, Litko does have custom shapes available by special order, and you can contact them at their site with other suggestions (like a square base version of this item or the bats idea) at their website:

And if they start making a new product, you can ask Paizo to add it. :)
Hmmm. probably could be used for dancing lights (if you had enough of them), wall torches, will-o'-wisps (other colors), tiny fire elementals, fire shield, flame blade bearer, flaming sphere indicator, light spell effect. Only three?
I saw before ordering that these things required assembly, but I'd assumed that meant a base and an upright. I received them today and discovered each of these little torches is in four pieces. Hard to believe that was necessary.
Also, I spaced and forgot to order the glue. D'oh!

I'm no expert on acrylics, but I'd say that the orange flame and the brown torch have to be separate from the clear parts because they're made with different color materials, and the upright has to be separate from the base because they're in two different planes.

Yeah, I'd expected a separate base and upright; and I'm sure you're right about the different color materials being the reason for the rest. I guess the number of separate pieces just surprised me.

Got mine in the mail yesterday. They are super cool, but the flames do not fit into the torches. I know I probably should use glue, but I expected them to fit like all the rest of t he pieces. Disappointed, but still satisfied. I am going to write an email to Litko to see if this is the way they are meant to be. Overall good product, but I think square bases would be better too.
Don't suppose any thought had been put forth to the possibility of making torch/lamp stands like these but for square bases? Most minis i've bought from reaper and other fantasy miniature lines tend to use square as opposed to round.
