@uriel222: I know they are alot cheaper and I love the illustration. That's why it pisses me off so much.
@Itchy: I only used them for 3 sessions. The Valeros (which one of my fav) pawn, I only used it twice. I've tried paper minis before. But this Pathfinder Pawns require no work at all and ready to use out of the box. That's why I prefer the Pawns better than paper minis. And again, the illustration of this pawns are gorgeous but the durability? I don't know.
@HangarFlying: That could be a good solution. Although doing so for 300+ minis could be daunting.
I'm curious if this case also happen to other pawns from different product like Warhammer Fantasy RPG or Arkham Horror. My point is Paizo should give more attention to this flaw of their Pawns. It's a ground-breaking product for RPG and I love it. But there is that need to be improved.
I want to use my pawns for a long long time, not only for few months before they need to be replace with the new one, because the durability issue. And I'm still waiting for Seltyiel pawn, dang it!
