<p>THESE MINIS ARE AWESOME!!!</p>
<p>I just picked up this pack from my FLGS today. (He's got a 20% off all games and gaming supplies sale through the new year so I'll more than likely be back for a book or two. Which is a digression, but for a purpose. I actually got this set with tax included for less than $12. I was stoked, then I opened the package...) These minis are, in my estimation waaaaay better than many of the PPMs I've gotten from other distributors. They are much more detailed, the plastic is more rigid, so Kyra's sword doesn't flop over, and Ezren's staff stays right where it should. Also, the detail of the painting is amazing. I'm really looking forward to seeing the rest of this line of PPMs from Paizo and Wizkids.</p>I wanted to pipe in here, even though I'll be resurrecting a thread.

<p>The first four minis were released on 1" standard bases which were a perfect fit for Alea Tool's 13/16" medium conversion circles—i.e, the circle fits flush under the bottom lip of the base. I contacted Alea Tools to inquire if they plan to offer similar conversion circles for the other Pathfinder base sizes so I hope to hear back from them soon. In the meantime does anyone know about the bases sizes or other companies offering similar precut magnetic circles?</p>The minis look great!

<p>Anyways, these look fantastic! Awesome job on these, all around. Great sculpts and paint jobs. There is no doubt that these are the finest pre-painted minis, period.</p>
<p>As some have said the eyes are a little small, though it really isn't that much of an issue - nothing that a fine point Sharpie won't take care of!</p>
<p>What sticks out more to me, is Ezren's right arm. Is it me, or does it look disproportionately smaller? I don't know, but it feels that way to me. Again, not really a big deal, but just an observation.</p>
<p>As for the plastic "blobs", they don't bother me at all. I understand perfectly why they are there, and I don't feel that they get in the way at all. </p>
<p>One thing that I am really loving is the bases these are on. Finally, somebody got it right! Bases that are solid, and aren't going to curl up and get warped. +20 right there!</p>
<p>All in all, I am super happy with these and can't wait until the rest come out. Way to go Paizo!</p>I finally got mine today.

<p>Absolutely amazing for PPPM! The amount of detail is stunning.

Although Wizkids managed to do some better faces with heroclix, the quality there varies greatly.</p>
<p>My only complaint: the ugly black "blobs" under the feet, but this again is a Wizkids thing (Heroclix suffers the same problem, but those bases are bigger and more "crowded" so it doens't bother that much).

For PPM standards, the amount of paint steps involved on these minis is incredibly high. Kyra has so much detail that I am completely confused as to how they can offer these miniatures for so cheap. Generally, more than 3 paint steps sends the production costs quite high. Most of these minis have at least double that or more.</p>
<p>These are the iconics though, so I certainly don't expect that the whole Battles line will have the same amount of paint steps per mini.</p>
<p>Like so many others before me have commented, I really wish they would get rid of the feet pads.</p>
<p>Anyone who complains about the price of the iconics set clearly is complaining for the sake of complaining. No one can rationally complain about the cost, given the paint quality that exists. At the present cost, I'm not even sure how Paizo's making any money off the set. (Of course, please don't take this comment as justification for doubling the price :)</p>I received mine a couple days ago, and there's really nothing I can add that hasn't already been said. For PPM standards, the amount of paint steps involved on these minis is incredibly high. Kyra has so much detail that I am completely confused as to how they can offer these miniatures for so cheap. Generally, more than 3 paint steps sends the production costs quite high. Most of these minis have at least double that or more.
