This was actually the first Pathfinder product I ever owned. I mainly bought it for Valeros (Because I usually use Fighters), but now I'm planning on using Kyra as a stand-in for my Aasimar Cleric. I'd like to see non-random sets of these for other iconics - I'd love to be able to own Amiri, Harsk (Dwarves rule!) or Seelah without having to go through the trouble of buying random minis. Anyway, these figs are a great buy for anyone who wants to play one of the "big four" classes.
I had dropped out of the RPG hobby for a while. When I elected to rejoin the fun I looked at several options and elected to buy into Pathfinder. I picked up the core rule book, the bestiary, and on a whim this set of four miniatures.
I opened the pack and took them out. I loved all four from the start. They were clean, nice paint jobs for PPMs and had that great "Fantasy RPG" feel to them.
Anyone who likes Pathfinder miniatures should own this set in my opinion.
This is actually the first set i ever bought from the pathfinder battles series. The sculpts have a wonderful level of detail and these are honestly all top tier miniatures for each of there respected classes. The paint looked a little better online then it did in person, but honestly for a pre-painted set with a vibrant array of colors for each figure, i can't complain at all. Most of all, I want to say that this was a great idea, and there needs to be more sets of nonrandom pc miniatures. I'd honestly buy everyone. The same goes for the Champions of Evil set.
I was unsure of how to feel when i first heard about the Pathfinder PPM. The digital shots of the miniatures gave alot of promises but the on the other hand i have my experiences with Wizkids Mage Knight miniatures (who has some nice sculpts but really horrible paintjobs).
Ezren (3/5)
I dislike the pose and the choice to make the staff metallic. The flesh paint is not precise between the neck and hair which makes the neck look rather bloated. The cloak is nicely detailed and the rest of the miniature is slightly better than what you would expect from a PPM.
Kyra (4/5)
The cloak is really superb, may more detailed than you would expect from a PPM. Sadly the face lacks depth which makes Kyra look abit like a manikin. Her her armor could have been in a more exciting color as well.
Merisiel (1/5)
This is by far the worst of the miniatures, to my greatest disappointment. I was looking forward to this one but it really fails to deliver. The sculpt lacks quite alot of detail which means that it has to be painted on. And it goes without saying that with mass produced painted miniatures that's not going to yield a good result. A huge disappointment.
Valeros (4/5)
A solid fighter miniature. The armor looks good and the sculpt is resonably detailed. My only concern would be the face, which like Kyra is abit shallow (although not as much as Kyra). The paintjob on the face leaves Valeros looking quite dim.
All and all the quality is resonable for the price of the product. The good makes up for the bad.
VERY nice product - they really made sure on the quality for these... I could see myself buying this AND another set of 4 with some of the other Iconics - Most likely Harsk (you need a Dwarf), Lem (token small figure) and 2 others - I am thinking the Paladin for one and some caster for the 2nd...
I am really happy with the Pathfinder Miniatures product line. I am definitely in. Hopefully, I will purchase them in the greek FLGS, otherwise I will order them on-line. I like to play the game using miniatures and I can't wait to enhance my DDM collection with the Pathfinder Miniatures. :)
Funny thing I'm definitely buying this, but not for me. I'm buying it form my daughter's 10th birthday. She's been wanting to play with the adults for awhile now,and I saw the announcement for the Beginner Box and I knew it was the perfect way to get her started. And the iconic models will make explaining things way easier.

I'm getting the set (and boxed set) for the completist in me. But I'm also getting a set for the godkids, when I teach them.
So do these minis come with stat cards like the DnD mini random sets did? Otherwise what is meant by "fully compatible with the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game"? I have a bunch of pennies and bottlecaps that are fully compatible with the pathfinder roleplaying game too :D
I agree! She looks great and will add some variety to the cleric minis I currently own. Plus one of my friends has decided to play THAT cleric as we delve into Pathfinder for the first time!

Not sure where to find it but Vic has confirmed no stat cards are included.

I think this is intended to reference the fact that these minis are not only representative of creatures from the game, but that they're also sized per gaming rules, for example, a medium mini will have a 1" base, a large a 2" base, etc.

Cleric looks dumb, like she fell out of Aladin's Lamp
The cleric is the primary reason I preordered a set. She has a distinct ethnic flair that, while not typical for normal european settings, is very appropriate.
Also, these minis looked better in person at Gencon than they do in these pictures. Especially Valeros.

Totally agree.
I was awestruck on the paint job, including the details, of the minis displayed at GenCon. If Heroes and Monsters, RotR and future sets look that good, I am going to be one very happy person.
I've pre-ordered a case of monsters and this set from my FLGS.
I hope WK bring out the other iconics as well.
We play with a VTT for maps, but everyone still prefers the tactile sense of moving your character with your hand rather then clicking on a computer screen (and, of course, rolling the dice rather then clicking on a dice number generator ....
I posted this in the Heroes & Monsters thread, but it's worth reposting here:

The first images we showed for the Beginner Box Heroes set were indeed the digital models. And I'm confident that *anybody* who saw the paint masters at Gen Con will attest that they look significantly better than the digital models. (If you haven't looked at the Beginner Box product page since Gen Con, you should—the ones with the white background are the digital models, and the front-and-back photos are the paint masters. But the photos don't really do them justice.)
I'd mentioned before in this thread that WizKids had told us that the production minis had the potential to be even better than the paint masters. The reason for that is that the paint masters have three types of paint applications: masks, tampos, and freehand details. The process of masking (which account for most of the paint on each figure) doesn't vary significantly between paint masters and production, so the masked bits should be essentially the exact same quality. The same is true of the tampos (which are essentially printed-on details, like the fine gold designs on Kyra's cloak). But WizKids actually made improvements to the masks and tampos after seeing the paint masters, and that's one reason that the production minis can present an improvement over the masters. Also, the few freehand details on the paint masters (like the eyes and eyebrows) won't be freehanded on the production figures, so those details should be more precise and regular on production minis than they are on the paint masters.
Well, just today, we got a set of samples using the preliminary production paint applications, and, as promised, the masks and tampos translated over extremely well, and the formerly freehanded details do show improvement over the paint masters. Across the four minis, there *are* two spots that don't look quite as good as the paint masters; those seem to be an issue with paint thickness, which they intend to adjust. So right now I'd say that two of the minis are a bit better than the masters, while the other two are better in places and not quite as good in others. By the time we see finished production figures, I expect that all four will indeed look better than the masters do.
Our intent is to seed the rest of them into future sets. I *believe* that, among the Heroes & Monsters and Rise of the Runelords sets, we'll be releasing three more iconics.

I know you guys have no control over this, but is the Release of these planned to coincide with the Release of the Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Beginner Box?
I am planning a Release Event and if this was going to be out the same day I was going to Buy 5 sets and give a Free Mini of their characters to the first 20 players.

We hope so, but we can't say for sure at this time.
Is there a reason why the the Beginner Box Heroes is not on the Product Schedule for October? As well as why there are some divisions of products in September between PDF's and Print copies?
