Happy BiRFDAY!!!! That said, golems are nice and the fact that they are rare is good, but I'm more excited to see what you show us next week!!!

Have a great birthday Mr Mona. Very curious in regards to your favourites, although you may change your mind by then, after all With age comes wisdom.
Like the bone Golem a great deal, excellent mini. Clockwork is good but perhaps a little cartoony for me, a bit dragonquest, although I did love those games.
The Bone Golem is wonderful and I look forward to adding it to my collection.
To be honest I am less then excited about the other one though. Every time I look at it I keep seeing Space 1889 rather than Pathfinder. Now that does not make it a bad figure, just not sure what I will do with it. Maybe toss it to the Gnomes and let them play with it.
Can we have a redo of the Clockwork Golem? It doesn't work for me at all.
Here's the image it seems to be based on. Definitely looks like wood panelling was used in its construction. Odd. Looks cool in general though.

I like the bellows-type thing it has for a waist. I don't mind the wood too much, and it serves to distinguish it from the various clockwork constructs that aren't golems.
Also, am I the first one to look at the title and think "GOLEMANIA IS RUNNIN' WILD, BROTHER"? Or just the first one to post about it? :)
I personally find the clockwork golem to be good, and it was kinda expected for any mini to be based on the pawn art rather than the bestiary art. That being said the bone golem is a much better mini, just be virtue of it being flawless.
Still hoping for a pack of rare races based on Pathfinder art. We are in desperate need of more Tieflings, Aasimar, catfolk, tengu, etc.
I realize this is just my opinion, but I am kind of glad they don't do too many of these. I had a hard time dumping the tengu that I got in the Skulls and Schakles case. And the catfolk rogue from Shattered Star I had to give away to get rid of them.
While I know there is a small number of people who love these races, I am glad they remain very rare.|

What you gonna do when golemania runs wild on you?
I'm certain that must have been the intent? Surely? Mr MONA?

I sell catfolk minis with decent regularity. The one tengu from Pathfinder sells indifferently, but the old kenku minis from WotC do pretty well (probably because they tend to run cheap.) There are several prepainted tieflings on the market, and most of them still do well. There are only a couple of named Aasimar, and they sell well, but honestly aasimar are pretty easy to sub for unless you're looking for something particularly flamboyant, and then you're probably going to need to paint your own anyway. But then again, there's the sheep factor to consider, and if you had a couple minis with "aasimar" in the title, that might sell a few extra. (And prevent a few other sales when people who could totally use that mini for their character say, "But my character's not an aasimar!" o.O)
If the requests I get from customers are any indication, the market could use more half-orcs, particularly a couple spellcasters, and ratfolk should get a nod. (Wererats would work if they were smaller.) I also tend to think that a tengu that looked more martial (maybe a magus?) would do pretty well. Maybe a grippli or two would go over well, and some vishkanya would be nice.
Hi Erik. Does the hiring of mike mean you're going to be freed up a little more to be more directly engaged in adventure/sourcebook writing?

It doesn't work because you probably forgot to wind it up properly.

Hi Erik. Does the hiring of mike mean you're going to be freed up a little more to be more directly engaged in adventure/sourcebook writing?
Not directly, but I have been a little more active in terms of writing, lately.
Occult Mysteries: I wrote the Knights of the Ioun Star and the 5th Volume of the Pathfinder Chronicles section.
Emerald Spire Superdungeon: I wrote the Throne of Azlant level.
Pathfinder Origins: I wrote the first and sixth issues of the new comic from Dynamite, and the backmatter in each (1 is out, 6 is still coming).
Occult Adventures: I played a fairly major role in setting up the outline for this book, concepting (but not writing) many of the magic items, and I wrote the sections on auras, chakras, and the esoteric planes.
I'm also currently writing two articles for Pathfinder #100.
So, while none of that stuff has to do with Mike coming on board (he's been here a couple years already), I have been trying to add more time for creative contributions into my schedule over the last year, and look forward to more of that sort of thing in the future.
