I bought this mini because I needed a Elf Wizard and most of my Wizard minis were humans. The detail on the mini is really good, don't be fooled by the picture. It's too bad they painted over all the details with just a grey/dark purple color over the whole thing. I repainted mine with some bright colors and it looks really good when you touch up the embroidery on the robe. Good mini if you need an elf wizard or a robed commoner.
This piece struck me particularly with how much more I liked it once it was in my hand as compared to what I thought of the pictures (though that's a general comment for most of the Battles line I have). First off was the mass of it -- it has a nice heft to it for the size, and for those of you who care about the nonvisual aesthetics of a piece, that's a nice touch. The pose is dynamic and arresting, giving the impression of ongoing action and impetus. While the gray of the robe is a bit dull by itself, I thought the blending to purple at the bottom lent it a real dynamism, so the overall effect works really well. The hair is nice, and the ears, while large, make it easy to identify the piece as an elf. My only real knock against it -- and something I will repeat many times in my reviews of this line -- is that the face lacks detail and contrast; a little effort in this area would have made this a 5-star piece in my estimation. Still, you can't go wrong with this one.
The ears have to go. I'm sorry, I know you guys like the japanese anime look to the art, but it doesn't carry over well to the figures, at least this sculpt. I keep wanting to call it a cat-person.
