(4 stars)Taellossehttps://paizo.com/products/btpy8l52?Pathfinder-Beginner-Box-Heroes-Miniatures-Set2011-11-15T02:19:43Z<p><b>Pathfinder Beginner Box Heroes Miniatures Set</b></p><p>When I pre-ordered these, it was as much to show support to Paizo and WizKids for taking a chance on this new line as anything else. I liked the look of the samples shown, but I figured, as was usually the case with the DDM sets, that the production copies would be a step down in quality. But not so! These are better, easily, than almost anything I ever got from DDM (and I have a fairly substantial collection nowadays). The sculpts are solid, and the painting is excellent, Kyra especially. </p>
<p>My only serious complaint is the faces—those could, as others have said, definitely use a bit of work. I think, from the look of them, that the underlying sculpts are fine, but the paint for those parts is sadly lacking. Still, given that these will spend most of their time on a grid map, 18 inches or more away from anyone looking at them, that is admittedly a small problem.</p>
<p>If the Heroes and Monsters series are up to the same quality as these, Paizo, expect me to be ordering some singles! I hardly need them—I'm not even running a fantasy campaign at the moment—but I'll get them anyway just to help make this line a success.</p><p><b>Pathfinder Beginner Box Heroes Miniatures Set</b></p><p>When I pre-ordered these, it was as much to show support to Paizo and WizKids for taking a chance on this new line as anything else.
