Just as the knifer this miniature delivers what it's supposed to. The paint job isn't stellar but better than I expected, especially for a common miniature. The pose is good and so is the sculpt. No unnecessary details that can ruin a prepaint (as the detail doesn't get painted in, or it tries to paint detail that isn't there), just enough to convey that this is a thugish character. I'm especially happy since good thuglike miniatures are hard to find for a reasonable price. Highly recommended.

A great demon miniature. Big and menacing. If there is a flaw it would be that the colors aren't that exciting but other than that this one is a hit.

The serpentfolk mystic had me pleasantly surprised. The sculpt is really good and the paintjob as well (if not abit bland). The only weakness is that the eyes are just two rather big white dots. Other than that it's a great figure.

This miniature suffers from a bad sculpt and a tacky paint job. There is the atempt at detail in the paint jobs (like Seoni's tatoos) but they come off as sloppy and rushed. The face is poorly sculpted and with the paint job it looks like a caricature Senoi that's been sucking on a lemon.

The staff and dagger (?) on her back are sculpted as two parts parted by her braided hair (which also doesn't look that good) and it shows. I don't recommend this miniature.

This miniature hoovers somewhere between two and three stars. The overall sculpt is good but the miniature is diminished by the poorly made face (Ameiko is noticeably missing her mouth) and bland paintjob.

The paintjob leaves something to be desired (as mentioned there are things missing from the face) but the pose is cool and dynamic. Great figure for a rogue.

A good kobold miniature. Nice paint job and good enough pose. Easy to repaint.

This is a great figure. The pose is solid, enough details and a quality prepaintjob. Good for a mean pirate and would also work great as a achetypical sword and sorcery mercenary. Five stars.

This is a really cool miniature. Good details and a menacing pose. The only drawback is that the loincloth is painted with the same color as the rest, but I think the overall figure makes up for that flaw.

This figure has a good paintjob and is nicely detailed. The biggest plus is that the face has some detail, which alot of the other humanoid Pathfinder Battles miniatures lack. A very good miniature of many uses.

This is a good sculpt equipped with a good paintjob (the face could use abit more attention).

This is a quite good sculpt (beside the hands, and perhaps you could argue that the pose is kind of stale). Good details for a prepaint. The paintjob is however abit singular with not that many contrasts which gives it a bland impression.

This figure has numerous problems. The original artwork contains so much detail which his hard to deliver on a prepainted figure. The details on this sculpt are kind of mushed and the paintjob is splotchy. The way the face is painted makes Lirianne look more like a porcelain doll than a grizzled adventurer.

Good pose and fairly detailed, this figure makes for a good choice as a cleric or light fighter type character. The one thing that is not up to par is the face which is not very detailed at all.

A nice rendition of Tessa Fairwind in plastic, although with some flaws. The pose seems kind of stiff, the paintjob has got some noticeable areas where the paint has went out of bounds. The face is decent but it leave the figure with an concerned expression. Perhaps not that fitting to the model. All and all a good figure, with some drawbacks.

The figure has a very cool pose and a decent sculpt, but it has numerous flaws. The paintjob looks dabbled on with alot of "paint bleed" into areas. Also some details are painted on which rarely comes out good on a prepainted miniature.

The head and face is also a area of concern as Seltyiel seems to lack a neck, the nose is very flat and the eyes are just two black (and somehat mushed) dots.

The Lamia Matriarch miniature delivers. A good paintjob for being prepainted with no real flaws.

This is a great representation of the RotRL dire bear. Good pose, nice pain scheme. I've had some trouble with the Pathfinder Battles miniatures line that the final mini is vastly inferior to the paint master. This is not the case with the dire bear. What you seen on the picture is what you get.

This is great fighter miniature. As all of the other miniatures (i've seen) of the Chronicles Miniatures it's nicely detailed little or no flash.

My favorite miniature of a really good miniature line.

This is the best PPM giant spider i've seen. The "fangs" on its head doesn't quite match up but other that that... Wow. Just Wow.

As the previous reviews have pointed out this miniature does go abit overboard with the red, but with a mini like this that is a minor concern. This is one creepy critter!

I was unsure of how to feel when i first heard about the Pathfinder PPM. The digital shots of the miniatures gave alot of promises but the on the other hand i have my experiences with Wizkids Mage Knight miniatures (who has some nice sculpts but really horrible paintjobs).

Ezren (3/5)
I dislike the pose and the choice to make the staff metallic. The flesh paint is not precise between the neck and hair which makes the neck look rather bloated. The cloak is nicely detailed and the rest of the miniature is slightly better than what you would expect from a PPM.

Kyra (4/5)
The cloak is really superb, may more detailed than you would expect from a PPM. Sadly the face lacks depth which makes Kyra look abit like a manikin. Her her armor could have been in a more exciting color as well.

Merisiel (1/5)
This is by far the worst of the miniatures, to my greatest disappointment. I was looking forward to this one but it really fails to deliver. The sculpt lacks quite alot of detail which means that it has to be painted on. And it goes without saying that with mass produced painted miniatures that's not going to yield a good result. A huge disappointment.

Valeros (4/5)
A solid fighter miniature. The armor looks good and the sculpt is resonably detailed. My only concern would be the face, which like Kyra is abit shallow (although not as much as Kyra). The paintjob on the face leaves Valeros looking quite dim.

All and all the quality is resonable for the price of the product. The good makes up for the bad.

This is miniature is a perfect representation of Hookmaw. Lots of large areas with well defined details makes this one quite easy and quick to paint. Five stars all the way.

I only have one problem with this miniature:

The dynamic pose aside i was a little bit disappointed with this mini. It doesn't have the clear defined details that you usually get from reaper. His front arm molds together with the miniature in abit of a sloppy way and i had abit of trouble getting the hands/sword-piece to fit with the rest of the miniature.

But all and all, it's a solid figure, although abit below what i've come to expect from reaper.
