conic Heroes Set IV includes seven all-new miniatures featuring legendary characters from the Pathfinder role-playing universe: Seltyiel, Feiya, Quinn, Reiko, Lem, Daji and Hayato! The Iconic Heroes is the latest set release in the award-winning Pathfinder Battles line of miniatures from Paizo Inc. and WizKids
There's an "I" missing from the first word, "Iconic", and this is set VI not IV in Roman Numerals.
Nice that there are 7 miniatures instead of 6 in this set. :)

I was wondering how they were going to fit all 31 (pre-Occult Adventures) Iconics into six sets. :-)

Stop torturing me!! Get some pics up ... please!
There's half a picture here, although unfortunately I suspect these aren't the pictures you're looking for. (The ninja looks cool though).

Set 6 isn't applying the PACG subscription discount.
Thanks,
I would highly recommend creating a thread in the Customer Service forum, so that the CS people see it. They'll get things straightened out. ^_^

Hmmmm.....
Seven minis this time. I have hope then, since Occult Adventures has 7 Iconics (including the Phantom). Dare I hope that Set VII will be all Occult???? <crossing fingers>
There are multiple smalls in the Occult Iconics (Yoon, Meligaster) so it might be possible if WizKids makes enough money on set 6.

Set 5 has been moved to february.
That means set 6 will be available in march.
More time to make shure that the quality is appropriate.
And good for people who buy "Monster Menagerie" in february because january is expensive enough with set 4 and The Rusty Dragon Inn and february with set 5 and the afore mentioned d&d minis.

It would be nice to see the sculpt for the witch since the one in the ROW was so horrendous.
Every "Rusty Dragon Inn" brick will contain a free Feiya repaint - that means at 4 per case you should get them real cheap soon.
Of course the one included in set 6 will have a more elaborate body with more paint steps - but will the face be significantly better?
At least you get a fox patron and 2 trading cards as a bonus.

So is this set and #5 coming in February? They are both still listed as such.
Set 5 is already out and should be in stores on january 27th in North America.
Paizo will ship it in february.Set 6 should be out on february 24th (street date) and will probably ship with march orders from paizos warehouse.
Lately the minis are available in stores much sooner than from paizo direct.
Wizkids seems to ship them all at roughly the same time and paizo needs to unpack, check, divide and rebox them, so that they are 2-3 weeks longer on their way.

One per brick.
I received contact from someone who has received their case already, and they report that they only got 1 of the superboosters in their case.

Yes that is true, Eric wrote it on friday in his blog and Kalindlara corrected it already. ;-)
What' s up with your beautiful site, Kor?
There hasn't been anything new in 2 month, i hope you are doing well.
Have you seen the box art of Icons of the Realms 4 : Monster Menagerie?
Greetings from Germany to Canada. :-)

Hi Marco,
I have gotten a little behind in some projects, but I am hoping to have the Rusty Dragon Inn minis all updated tomorrow. I wasn't aware that there were box images out for the new D&D minis, so I will definitely get those added as well -- thanks for letting me know.
Greetings back -- and here's hoping your winter this year has been as mild as ours has been :)

Thx Kor, it has been.
Your site is the only one that has the Treant from MM online - cool.
Iconic Heroes Set 6 seems to be in shops on february 17th in Canada - one week before the US release on february 24th (as the 17th is Presidents Day).
Greetings

Corrected the date on the product so it correctly shows as February. Current expectation is to start shipping towards the end of February (release date is February 24th). If you are a subscriber with them in your sidecart, they will ship with the March shipments or your next available shipment.
Hey Sara Marie,
Unfortunately you have to adjust the price to $39.99...Here is the official product page from wizkids with actual photos of every mini:

No word on future sets? I hope we'll see a set 7, 8, 9. Still want the iconic occult characters and I wouldn't mind the iconic evils.
The pics of set 6 look great.
Hey Cat, Vic Wertz said it's not up to Paizo but Wizkids to decide if new sets are being made.
I imagine there are not many people that buy multiple copies of each set but i hope they sell good enough (from what i am seeing sets 1-3 are selling good in germany, not yet sure about sets 4 & 5 - they are out since yesterday).
But i guess it takes a while to make such a decision.
Personally i have seen set 1 sell out very fast (my local dealer had ordered 500 sets which are all gone by now) and set 2 was good but not as good as set 1 and set 3 not as good as set 2.
I think set 4 will sell the fewest copies because many people don't care for the characters, the delay was too long and the price increase hurts the product.
Set 5 will be a little better again.
Set 6 has really great minis but again i see the price tag spooking some people.
I don't know how many people bought the "Occult Adventures" book (i didn't - yet) but i know they are not nearly as popular in germany as all the other classes (which may change in time).

Feiya must just be jinxed. Even though this is an iconic set with improved painting techniques, the Feiya mini doesn't look much better than the original messed up one. A lot of her paint is sloppy and her eyes were applied below her nose <sigh>. I guess I'm not destined to own a decent Feiya mini, I give up... The other minis are very nice though. I think the best paint job award of this set goes to the samurai. The fox is kind of small, scrawny, and poorly sculpted. I actually prefer the original fox sculpt from the non-iconics despite its paint not being as good. I was hoping the iconic fox would be a bit bigger and bulkier than the normal one. I play a goblin druid with a "*dire fox" pet/mount and was hoping this one would have worked. I currently use a wolf that I painted like a fox.
*There is no such thing as a dire fox in the guides. It is just normal wolf stats, with fox appearance, strictly for looks only and so that my goblin can ride his fox.

I just got these and wow, are they nice! Lem and Feiya are much better than my previous minis. Unlike Brell Stormforge, my Feiya has her eyes just right and she looks great!
Quinn is my favorite overall—it really is amazing just how well that mini goes together. It matches—and perhaps surpasses—the original Beginner Box set Kyra in overall quality.
For fine detail, I will agree with Brell: Hayato is easily the most impressive of any of the minis to date.
