Those minis are just so fricking awesome. The lami matriarch has me in total awe and nerdlove.
Yes, very awesome. Can't wait.

Hey Erik do you know if the pics of the minis are available under the CUP? Specifically, bullet point #4 suggests not since it says:
...You may not use any photographs published in the blog (because those rights are usually not ours to offer)...
I'd like to use some of these on Monster/NPC pages on the site but right now I don't think we legally can.
Thoughts?
Soooooo awesome
This preview is amazing.
I dont know if I can financially handle a case of this set. Im debating if I should or not and then a preview like this comes out and really pulls me in. Curse you!! :)
The male and female nobles are excellent peices. Shes even holding a goblet so could be a tavern wench stand-in.
Since there are spoilers in this set I'd like to take this time to suggest your next set should be Crimson Throne. Older adventure paths means less chance of spoiling things for most of us.
I just saw this preview and already am drooling for next week's. Bring on Mammy Graul!!!
The Foxgloves are great additions to the set. Other commoner type piece would be welcome as well. These kind of pieces have been sorely under represented in the past. I'm glad to see Pathfinder electing to provide pieces that might be used outside of strategic situations. They add nice flavor yo yhd game and help players keep the cast straight a little easier. This set keeps getting better.
Nice mini's my players just defeated Karzoug (version. 2.o)last night and these min bring back some really good adventures that we played over the course of a 15 months.
Good Job Paizo!
I'm only concerned about the cost and make up of the cases.

I just hope this minis line doesn't produce as much packaging trash as the first line did. >_>

*lift self off floor from passing out* Thank you! Thank you! I don't believe anyone has every made a weaponless noble and noblewoman miniature in PPM. These miniature are badly needed in our hobby. These will be very popular well beyond RotR, but essential in RotR. Thanks again Erik for your preview.

We definitely own the rights for the standard Pathfinder Battles minis photos, so feel free to use them under the CUP. (We may or may not own full rights to photos of minis taken at conventions, as in this post, so this permission does not extend to those types of photos—just to the "studio"-type photos in the preview blogs.)

Awesome sculpts, and the noble jacket detailing is OUT -frikkin-STANDING. Bravo!
BUT... I can't say as I'm digging the green+brown combo on Lucrecia's dress Erik. It's a fine sculpt, but those color choices are just ruining the impact of the model, imo.
Not sure what colors would be better -- but I know that this particular combo isn't the dress you're looking for. Maybe a nice ivory and pale blue? Something -- anything -- but this. (The bright orange hair and green is also close to clashing colors, too).

You know, it might be helpful if you and other preprinted minis fiends posted a list in a different thread of miniatures you'd like us to make to fill holes in your collection. Although I have a pretty good idea of what's already available, my knowledge is not exhaustive.
I keep meaning to sign up for the Plasticrypt forums, where I'm sure folks would be happy to provide that sort of feedback, but keeping it here at Paizo.com would make it more convenient for me to reference when planning sets.
For example, I'm about a week away from finalizing the preliminary list for the set after Rise of the Runelords, and I have a few open slots. I can always pick what _I_ want, but I'd love to hear a little more about what _you guys_ want.
Thanks!
Didn't read any of the text (cause of spoilers), but the minis look great!
"Normal" looking minis always were lacking in DDM, now I just hope to see more animal companions/familiars, and some furniture!

It would certainly help to know what's already in the set, but I guess that's not in keeping with Paizo's normal practices.

Yeah, that's not happening. And I probably won't be able to add anything specific to the next set. I'm just speaking generally. Sometimes I have holes and don't know exactly what to do with them. I frequently have to choose between one mini idea and another. A little more general feedback on what the audience wants would be most helpful in both cases.

Eric, you mean your not paying attention to the Wishlist? Or are you just asking for more people to use it? :)

You just need to do what I do. You have your Paizo tab and your Plasticrypt tab always up in your browser. :)
I am sure you would be most welcome over at Plaisticrypt. There are some folks there passionate about their miniatures (myself included).
I have all but suspended my RotR campaign with side adventures in the hope of being able to use the new book and these wonderful miniatures sometime in the near future. And then, plan to run RotR again by year end at my FLGS.

The miniature only looks like she fell right out of the artwork for Lucrecia in the Adventure Path. You may not like the color, but the miniature is Lucrecia. I am sure there will be many that will repaint her to ones personal taste. But if you are running RotR, you couldn't ask for better.

That is an exceptional rendition of a high-ranking contender in the top-5 TPK machines. Good job!
Eric, looking at the Lamia Matriarch mini made me wonder if all Pathfinder Battles mini's are going to be Rated 'G' (i.e. no nudity). I ask because with a mini like the Lamia I would almost expect that the breast would be bare or creatively covered with locks of hair in lieu of a bikini top.
It's not a big thing, I was just curious.

Good monster choices? FROGHEMOTH.
(and if you're feeling generous, an Aboleth)
All of these minis are great! It's so nice to see minis that can be used as civilians/patrons!

Ok Erik from a guy who owns literally over 5000 DDM minis and have been collecting minis for over 10 years. Here are the top things I would like

Also Erik I will start a thread in the miniatures section with this post and I will do the same type of list with the following bestiary for your reference. It should hopefully give you a good idea.

And here is the Complete list for you Erik. Only took an hour and a half of work, and it should help you with any mini suggestions.

Jeremy your link just takes me back to this blog I was really looking forward to your list. Thanks for the great effort that's really useful to me in my hunt for minis.

PS: Several of those are already in the works! :)
Wow! These are really fantastic. Better start saving the cash up now. :)

Copied from my other post since my tech savvy doesn't extend to anything technological. Going over the AP's here are some I'd like to see, in order of non existant to already out there:
Skum! There are cetainly NONE of these in prepainted plastic. And since the art is so inspoiring I'd love to see these in plastic. All form CC4 - Zhab boath - the Skum on the cover, Iq'lothatua!
Aranea!but really only Akinasa from Forrest of spirits this would just look too awesome as a mini
Ettercaps - yeah there are two but there is certainly no WEAVERWORM - however use the art at the start of broken moon, not the art in the bestiary
A Decapus!The hidden beast form RolRL or Nindinzego form Brinewall legacy
The Emkrah from the Jackals price bestary
Almosy any Lovecraftian goodies but especially Dark Young of Shubniggurath, mi-go, a GUG!!!!!!, hound of Tindalos - especially if RotRL art is used
From the serpents skull Urdefhain,Morlocks any here as the art is universally good for both of these. The vegepygmy on p33 of City of seven spears, ain't no vegepygmies in plastic
Hobgoblins yeah there are plently but the initial ones were great and the later ones really suffered - especially the only female. Jade Regent, forrest of spirits, the hobgoblin on p32, the swine shogun, and really the sister of broken path on p41 - more FEMALES!
A flesh golem there are 2 out there but the faceless golems on 53 of the same volume or even the Kava Devil from Vaults of Madness would make for something unique that sets it apart from other flesh golems
There are a ton of vampires out there but given the great artwork would love to see minis of any of females since there are none of those available in plastic Lady Zunaida, Aisa Dublesse.
Gnolls and their beasts of war yeah there are lots of gnolls but Paizo could given them a unified look and add beasts (and I just like gnolls as basic monsters, much better than orcs after all) but really it's just the need for hyenadons and gnolls mounted on these that drives this.
In the land of HUGES - there is still no huge water elemental - a massive whole in the minis market - have all three other types but never this one. And Linorms, there are a ton of dragons out there, and thankfully almost one of each size category now, but this is really unique to Pathfinder (well the use is), and a huge or even gargantuan (?) would be great.
Mounted monsters. Yep, just basic monsters (orcs, gobbos, gnolls, ettercaps, hobgoblins etc on mounts) A great way to add variety to a group of monsters and some cool minis!
Female monsters are really lacking - just basic female goblins, orcs, giants(!), ghouls etc that kind of thing. This is the one I'd really like to see as a theme in the minis - females of the monster races.

I routinely have need for noble figures and these will do the job perfectly!
I must say, a lot of the art in the original "Rise of the Runelords", while not bad, didn't really capture the characters very well (see Ameiko Kaijitsu's art in "Burnt Offerings" vs. "Jade Regent"). It's only natural, seeing as Pathfinder was still in its infancy.
If the rest of the revised art is this good, I'm pretty stoked. In particular I hope there's a new portrait of Tsuto Kaijitsu.
Excellent pieces. Two useful non-combatants and the Skinsaw Man is amazing.
My only concern is how many there will be in a case. What will a rare mean in RotR? In H&M, a case averaged 2 of each rare but only 2.55 of each common. Most cases had one rare with a quantity of 3 and one commmon with a quantity of 1. Will RotR be similar? Will it be possible to pull 3 rare Aldern Foxgloves but only 1 common Sinspawn?

[IaNaL]I'd think best practice (if our hosts choose to do so) would be to tag the image with CUP. Better to have the image be missing the tag and be intended to be CUP than to have the default be 'no tag = CUP'[/IaNaL]
