Iconic Heroes Set #1 Final Photos (Part 2)!

Friday, December 12, 2014

We're just about a month away from the first release in our Iconic Heroes line of premium prepainted plastic figures. We've already shown the first in-hand photos of the finished figures for three of the figures in the set: Valeros, Seoni, and Sajan. This week we'll round out the set with looks at the final three figures.

These are NOT paint masters. They are not pre-production samples. They are finished figures representative of what the actual product will look like when it hits stores and subscribers in January. Incidentally, due to labor problems on West Coast ports, the official release date for Iconic Heroes Set #1 has moved from January 15 to January 28, 2015. Mark your calendars!

Up first this week is Seelah, Human Paladin. Seelah was the fifth Pathfinder iconic hero ever to appear in prepainted plastic. She had a figure in our first full set, Heroes & Monsters, and while her original miniature looked good in general, she came across as a little short compared to some of her iconic brothers and sisters, and I've always been itching at the chance to giver her another shot. I'm happy to say WizKids delivered admirably this time around. This version has Seelah wearing a full helmet, and the cool graphic stamped on the front of her shield must be seen to be believed—it's that good.

I've always been a fan of the original Lini figure from way back in Legends of Golarion. The new version of Lini, Gnome Druid is much more dynamic, with a sense of "three dimensionality" somewhat lacking in the original version. Of course, a druid is nothing without an animal buddy, so we've made sure to include...

I'm really happy with how the Droogami figure turned out. Lini's animal companion has never looked better. For starters, this is the first great cat figure we've yet produced that looks more ferocious than "furry." This version comes complete with a saddle!

Each Iconic Heroes set comes complete with 6 exclusive Pathfinder Adventure Card Game cards associated with the characters in the box.

Iconic Heroes sets begin in January and continue monthly from there. Beyond that, I've seen paint masters for the next full set (which should be announced imminently) and digital sculpts for the set after that. I'm currently putting together a set list for the first release in 2016. And I can't wait to show all of that awesome stuff to you! Soon.

Soooooooooooooooon!
