Almost no Info / marketing for Deep Cuts line? No pictures of actual minis yet Production Run minis exist.


Miniatures


Hey people Caleb/Blandco here.

I am really confused as to why Wizkids has decided to give out so little info about the deep cuts line.

The main source of info are the 3D renders which don't showcase that some of these miniatures are fully transparent or have transparent pieces! That is a huge selling point. But at this point I have NO idea which minis are translucent. Are the Hell Hounds translucent? If they are I want to preorder a bunch! But I have no idea if they are or not.

Almost none of the viewers of my YT channel were even aware that these were official products! One person assumed it was some sort of kickstarter for another line of 3D printable minis.

I recently did a video about the other version of this line, bemoaning the fact that nobody had any of the actual minis to show off. I then found out that seemingly random people had been given what seems like production run miniatures in official packaging to review!

But try to FIND any of these videos and you will be out of luck since NONE of the people used the official names of the product lines in their videos.

I guess wizkids figured that mostly people from the wargaming market would be interested in these so they gave review minis to streamers who focus on stuff like that. But that is clearly not the market for these. Wargaming people will be painting wargaming minis. These are clearly for RPG tabletop games.

So if anyone is interested here is one of the videos that show the minis. Honestly not great footage, but you can at least tell that some of the minis have translucent parts.

There are other videos posted on the wizkids Facebook feed that I won't post since they only showcase the other, non paizo, line. If there are videos featuring Deep Cuts I can't find them because Wizkids apparently doesn't understand how titles and metadata work.

I know that digital renders are the easiest way to preview minis that haven't been produced yet. But it's so frustrating that Wizkids seemingly has production run miniatures they are willing to give to people for reviews but nobody at wizkids bothered to take any pictures of them for consumers.

And since they did give away production run minis for reviews then maybe they could have told those people to use the name "Pathfinder Deep Cuts" in the title and keywords for the videos?

If anyone has any more info about this feel free to let me know on my YT channel. I also have a bunch of video reviews of Pathfinder Battles miniature releases on there.

I also don't don't how to pronounce "Paizo" and I steadfastly refuse to learn.
