Awesome Kobold and redcap!!!!!
Both are winners! I especially like the size of the scythe the redcap is hauling around! That's a small man with big aspirations!

That is by far the best-looking Kobold-miniature I've ever seen. Can't wait to get my hands on it. :-)
There was a redcap in the Dreamblade Miniatures game (Bloodthirsty Redcap, Base Set #78) as well and with re-basing it's pretty close to scale with the pathfinder redcap. (Actually it is a little large, but not too much so, however its axe is waaaaaay oversized for Pathfinder.)
That said, I cannot wait to get a fist full of both of these.
Damn it. And i'm running the parts for CoT with redcaps in like 2 weeks. Would have been handy. Now I'll have to get some to set on my shelf and wonder what could have been...

It was also difficult and expensive to get a hold of. I'll be very happy to get a bunch of the Pathfinder Redcaps.
Huh. Interesting. The Dreamblade redcap also has bare feet, which is a bit weird.
Not really, the iron boots are primarily found in the stories from the Cornish region (same home as the Jack-in-Irons legend), you don't find mention of them in too many other redcap tales.

Fan-bloody-tastic! These two minis are magnificent, and they are small! Hard to judge scale in these previews, but both look slightly smaller than the goblins; at that size the details are remarkable.
Kobold: Alround goodeness - love the blue tongue, love the pose, love the colour. A real winner. I really hope we get more in later sets - especially if they maintain this standard, of course a common champion may make the hordes look a little martial.
Redcap: All I can say is thank you wizkids/paizo. I have a couple of the (very expensive) dreamblade redcaps but could never get enough of what are my favourite evil fey. And, as noted, the dreamblade one has not boots - a fact that dissapointed me all these years since I've trained my players fear the the little iron boots, and the head kick of certain D-O-O-O-O-O-M! Once again the pose is great, the colours are great, just need to see him in hand to get a better look at the face and scale.
I've been collecting minis since harbinger and this set just continues to shape up as the best I've seen, Well done to you guys.

I agree. In my opinion, this would be a good candidate for an encounter pack repaint too.

These are both very nice minis. I especially like the way the kobold looks like it is using it's tail for balance, similar to the velociraptors in Jurassic Park.
I'm also intrigued by the redcap; it has a very menacing pose.
It looks like these minis both have smaller bases that are glued to the actual small sized base. If it's easy to separate the two bases, the redcap could easily fill in for any number of tiny fey baddies, especially if you modified the weapon a bit.
I can't wait for this set!
Kobold-
I love the overall paint job on him, especially his face. Great mini!
Redcap- Yeah! A much needed miniature niche! Not just for RotR, but also for Kingmaker as a wandering ecounter and for
Paizo, you friggin' rule! Way to see the niche for kick-ass miniatures and make a whole line that now only compliments the AP but brings forth a host of new critters that have been lacking. I am getting more excited about this set with each preview...
Keep the Kobolds comIng, even if it is only one per set. You typically need like a ka-jillion of them for decent encounters.
Might this be a representation of the dreaded Kobold Barbarian that lurks near the Redcap tunnels? I nearly killed a Dwarven Ranger with that little bugger (since we were playing APG Beta, and some of the earlier Rage powers were a bit nastier than they are now) I hope he remains nasty in the revised edition
Don't let her hear that - or she'll go after you.
But yeah: more Kobolds (screw the Goblins!) and Redcap madness!
Ruyan.
For me, this preview is all about that kobold! That thing is crazy detailed.

Strangely, for me the preview is all about the redcap! I love the kobold, but I do have a bunch which in a crunch I could use. However, besides my 1 Dreamblade Redcap which goes for $25+ I could have never run a gang of these little buggers at my pc's!
Very nice.
