Like Erik said, some new Dungeons Deep images have surfaced from the GAMA fair.

Since I don't want to spoil here, I am leaving the links to the images. Browse them if you don't mind knowing something more about what's coming in the next set.

As a side note, I found an interesting pic about Wizkids business.

I fully understand the reason to limit the CC play to Core, PFS Guide and Web Traits; but I would ask that you consider adding the Inner Sea Guide to the list anyway.

Since PFS plays in Golarion, the one supplement that gives an overview on the places where the 95%+ of the scenarios should be on the list.

If paizo had a european warehouse i would order a brick or case from these series but as it is it´s too expensive and complicated...

I completely agree with that.

The one time I purchased a PFB case I had to pay an overcost of nearly 40% due to customs. So far I haven't had issues with bricks, but I no longer dare orderin these either.

I am now limited to buying singles from ebay :(


BTW, I just noticed that I can pre-order Iconic Sets #1 - #3 from the web, and we can check the minis in the march set.

I won't spoil it here so if you wanna see what other minis will we get with Alahazra, Damiel and Alain, check the store :)

A tip, though... One we have already seen in a previous set, and the other is a new iconics, of the ones I was just requesting ;)


We will get Alahazra and Damiel in a few weeks and then a NEW Alahazra and Damiel in march? There are some iconics that have yet to see light in plastic form, and I would love to see them before new versions of the existing ones.

The iconics from the ACG, for instance, or Reiko, Hayato and Balazar.

But if Paizo and Wizkids can keep the schedule of 5 iconics every month, we should have them all before the summer, so I guess is ok anyway.

And since I am already posting, I would like to request more lance/spear wielding guys. There are very few of them, maybe because spears are too long and too brittle?

First off, your maths wrong. 3 is 60% of 5, meaning it's only a 40% increase, not a 66%. Also, 4 iconics for $13 is actually $3.25 apiece. Lets just use that figure so we don't have to debate whether or not a large should count as 2 mediums. $3.25 to $5 is only a 35% increase. A significant increase, but far from 66%.

Actually my maths are pretty solid. A medium figure costs $3, but for these you will have to pay $2 more. $2 in addition to $3 is a 66% increase.

But I am not here to argue about maths, I am just asking the increased price gives us better quality minis from Wizkids.


I see none commented on the price increase. So far, a retail medium miniature used to be around $3. (4 iconics for $13, boosters with 3 medium and 1 large (that could be counted as 2 mediums) for $15).

And now we see a 66% price increase in the minis (6 for $30 it's $5 per miniature). I know there are PACG cards included, but come on, a $2 increment per mini is a bit step.

Thing is I wouldn't mind paying $5 per iconic IF Wizkids can get it right, but my faith in them is severy lacking right now.

I bought the Icons of the Realms starter box from the new DnD minis, that used a similar model of cgi-generated minis and those are NOT worth $5 each. Will Wizkids really produce some quality minis for these iconics?

On a side note, I like the idea of an animal companion or Eidolon, but you could also release 6 miniatures packs with only 4 iconics, the companion/eidolon and a new miniature that would represent commonly played characters that have not yet got a miniature.

You could use the Pathfinder Society characters (lvl 3+) to gauge which type of characters people are playing the most that are not already represented.


Doh, link for the Barbarian has not been fixed yet.

I am eager to see a better quality picture of this mini!
