I will have to agree with everything that was noted previously. The mini looks great, however when I picked up the mini to prep for painting, and the sword/dagger just fell off into my hand. I was pretty disappointed. Rather than fight with having to re-attach it every time it gets moved on the table, I'm just going to eliminate the hilt and make it look like he's fighting with two empty hands.
So I was planning on taking off the sword, exalted monk in the new Kingmaker, but he didn't even come with one. Temple sword is silly and no where close to a monk weapon. I like Sajans backstory and his sword makes sense for him, but not an Iconic Monk. Ohh and he is 7 foot tall.
Overall I love the mini and it was like all of the other Reaper minis I've got from the PF line: Well-cast, highly detailed, and very cool. My only complaint is that the weapon is goofy looking (it's poorly proportioned and blocky) and the tang/handle of the sword is so thin that it's likely to break off if you look at it wrong. I ended up removing the sword and putting on a regular sword from my bits box (a WHFB plastic one fixed with a small pin).
I just picked this up at the FLGS. It is highly detailed and really captures exotic feel of the iconic monk. This one piece miniature has a lot of gear and an interesting funky weapon. He is a bit larger than Ezren, the only other male human iconic miniature I currently own. The only complaint that I have with it is that the right hand/weapon hilt area is very thin and bends easily. The simple act of placing the figure inside a padded miniatures case bent the weapon. While I was able to straighten it, I can tell that the join will eventually fail. I would rate the detail of the sculpt at five stars, but the too thin hand/hilt problem forces me to be very careful when handling the figure, which will affect the amount of play that I get from it.
