Oh, and there are no Gargantuan bases in the Beginner Box, so that's another problem with really big dudes.
Can the really big dudes be designed to work with two or more of the smaller bases?
Another possibly lower cost way to provide us with larger Pawns, at least for those of us with our own printers, is to sell those PDF only. If your card stock would work in most printers, sell packs of just your card stock, blank. I assume your card stock is not the same card stock I buy at Wal Mart.

The card stock for these pawns is way too stiff and thick to work in home printers.

The Beginner Box pawns are on thicker cardboard, and I'd imagine these are the same. It will not feed through a standard home printer.

Anything larger than giant should probably not be represented by a flat plane. What I think would work, would be rectangular prisms with artwork on four sides, that can fold flat, or be a box for other pawns.
A collosal, four sided box that holds other pawns.
That solves the problem of needing a gargantuan or collosal base for an A5 picture.
Octagonal prisms would work too, allowing the art to wrap on three sides.

Has anyone used the pawns from the Beginner Box in conjunction with any of the Pathfinder Paper Minis? How do they look together? Anyone got pictures they can post of them side by side?

I don't have any pictures, but I use minis, pawns from the beginner's box and Pathfinder Paper minis, from different artists to represent everything. They all work well together, at least in my opinion.

Other than the difference in what they are made out of, the biggest difference is that one set is official Paizo art, while the Paper minis are the artist's stylized version of the art. In size, they compare very well, and are relatively interchangable. Ive bought a few of the Paper Minis sets and have been completely satisfied by them. Even if you buy the ones that are for a specific AP, you get a wide variety of stuff. It's a really cheap (assuming you can print them cheaply; I personally take it to Staples) way to build up a minis collection.
For PFS, lately Ive been using a combination of my RotRL Paper Minis, the Beginner Box pawns, and my old DnD minis.
And sparkly ones too!
(oh, maybe that's just me)
Those will only come with the Limited Edition Sparkly Rainbow Pony version of the pawns.

No box? I was really hoping for a cool little box to store these :-/
A shoe box must do then
They will fit swell in the large Bestiary Box. This product is technically an extension of that one, which has all the bases anyway. Of course, you could skip that product, buy bases separately (once we figure out the costs), and keep them in a shoebox, as you suggest. :)

No bases other than the ones that I choose to buy is perfect for me. I'll be looking for some kind of multi-compartment craft box within which I can store them alphabetically. Or maybe I'll subdivide the BB with cardboard strips.
Any chance of sets of labels for conditions (dazed, etc.), with Post-it style adhesive on so they can be reused, to go on to the bases or pawns? Then back onto the card that they came on for storage?
Edit: Typo, *blush*

This set will feature lots of pawns that are specific to Rise of the Runelords, but it won't duplicate pawns from the Bestiary Box, so if you're going to want to maximize your pawn usage, you'll still want the Bestiary Box.

If this does well, would there be plans to do one of these for the other APs, namely Kingmaker? :)
+1
But for Legacy of Fire too.

Nice one, and also thanks fot keeping international customers happy, no bases means cheaper shipping rates... my wallet loves it. Anyway, you can get all the bases you want and in time you may have more than you could ever use if you add them to every pack sold.

Thanks to both of you - I now preordered the Bestiary box as well :-)

I purchased base ball card sheets, that have 9 pockets per sheet. They hold the pawns from the beginner box perfectly, are cheap, and will let me alphabetize them all.

I'm still cross with you guys that there is an (almost) complete set of paper minis for Serpent Skull and the Kingmaker line is lacking behind.Ruyan.
Am wondering if perhaps we might see the occasional "promo" pawn for adventure path subscribers perhaps, a collection of one or two key npc's, as I can only hopefully assume that eventually all AP bestiaries will be covered in pawn sets. But, perhaps, in the meantime, an npc or two, in pawn form...hint hint.....or maybe at least one monster, from time to time :)

Would it be possible to see these all in one product line, or grouped in one area? I'm concerned I may have missed, or will miss future products similar to this.
I have so far seen the bestiary box which I will get at Gencon, I know the beginner box comes with minis, and now this set. Are there others I may have missed?
The Beginner's Box was the first product with pawns, and only the Bestiary Box and RotRL collection have been announced thus far as upcoming pawn products. So you haven't missed any.

....aaaand two days after I posted the above, this was announced. :)
Preorder expected August 2012
So, does that mean the pawns won't be available when the anniversary edition is released? :(
Actually I have a better idea for conditions that might work with bases being availabe seperately if you can find some cardboard of the correct thickness you could glue two of the bases together and have the pawn wear it like a hat when they have that condition and write on a sheet of cardboard what the condition is.
Although seperate pawn bases give me another idea using them as stands for 3d cardboard terrain.
I've updated the cover image and description to match the finished product. A list of tokens will be added soon.
The set list of creatures/characters included in the Rise of the Runelords Pawn Collection is now up.

Will we need more than one set of pawns to run the entire AP for a standard party of 4 people?
One set, combined with the Bestiary Box, should generally be enough for most folks. No guarantees, though—after all, there are ways that your party can manage to encounter more Hill Giants at one time than most other parties!
(Note also that we don't include tokens for every single thing you can possibly encounter.)
Why's there no distinct art/pawn for Xanesha - the most famous adversary of this AP (apart from Karzoug maybe)?
Ruyan.
Great news! Thanks, Erik.

I am currently a player in Pathfinder, but I've been thinking for a long time about DMing.
This type of product is exactly what can tip me over. I like minis, but they're too expensive for me. I am aesthetically inclined and would prefer not to play with bland self-made tokens.
I fervently hope that the pawns line tied to an Adventure Path will stay and expand.
It will.Any chance of a pawn subscription soon?
Please!!!!!!

Just another vote for Kingmaker pawn collection. That and Second Darkness. My two favorite AP's, would be nice to have pawns for those ... or minis sets.
