I don't have the Legends of Golarion set, and I was sorely tempted to see if I could afford this set. But, after hearing a lot of what others have been saying (the poor paint jobs, and the condition of some of their minis) I think I'm glad I didn't try and get this one. (Which is a shame, as I truly would like to have a "complete" set of the iconics, so missing Lini & Droogami, and Sajan is a bummer). But if the paint jobs are as bad as I'm hearing, I think I'll skip this one and subscribe in time for the Wrath of the Righteous set (and keep the sub for Reign of Winter also).

Is there anyone who has gotten decent paint jobs? Anyone who can tell me that the "bad" hype isn't "universal" - that Wizkids didn't drop the ball as I've heard implied? Because admittedly having several Golarion specific minis (monsters, and characters) is very tempting/appealing. But paying $300 + for a set with such "bad" press (and paint jobs/appearances) leaves me a little ... shy of putting out the money for it.

Thanks in advance for any replies.

For the most part, the paint jobs on mine were acceptable. Aside from the missing arm, my Gorilla King looked great. King Irovetti's face was a bit.. "off", I guess, as it was just a smear of flesh colored paint with two black dots for eyes located on his forehead. Aside from that, though, I thought several of the minis (most of my large figures, the queen, the monk, and druid) were excellent.

Also, I finally heard back from Wizkids, who told me that Legends set will be available for exchances "soon, in a week or so." It's been two, but as I understand it, they're a small company so the response is appreciated. I just hope I can get my broken mini sorted out with a minimum of fuss..

I'm a bit behind on everyone else posting to this, but I received my case from my local game store a few weeks ago and only just got to open it this past long weekend. Overall I was pleased, same issues as most people with lackluster paint jobs on some minis. I was fortunate enough to get a full set, but the biggest problem was my Gorilla King. His paint job was great, but he was packaged without a left arm. It wasn't broken, it was just never put on the mini before it was sent out the door. I've tried to file a return, but the Wizkids site doesn't allow returns of Legends of Golarion minis yet, and I've sent multiple emails to Wizkids' email address as provided by Paizo customer service, but there's been no reply whatsoever. I never thought I'd wish for a broken mini.. at least with a broken arm I could attempt to repair it. Instead my Gorilla King just has a big rectangular chunk out of his side.

I will unfortunately be unable to continue my Pathfinder Battles Subscription, due to unforeseen events. Can you please cancel my subscription? I hope that I will be able to restart at some time, but for the foreseeable future, money will be too tight.
