Hm, what's the iconic shifter?
Silent,
No one knows for sure, but Ultimate Wilderness will have a new base class. I for one am looking forward to it and this mini.

A new 20 level base-class which "shifts" into different forms.
It will be introduced in november´s Pathfinder Roleplaying Game: Ultimate WildernessTake a look at the Iconic Shifter computer render. ;-)
I like the render but not sure about some of that gold trim, Marco.
I didn't think the Red Raven had that kind of Bruce Wayne/Dick Tracy jawline...but okay!
Where does "Aric, iconic human Noble" come from? I don't recall seeing any Paizo product with a Noble class in it.

How about the Core Rulebook? ;-p
That being said, there are no "Iconic" NPC class characters so far.
The render picture says "Aric, human noble", but it is actually the "Iconic Vigilante" in his social identity.

the text says seven all-new miniatures but only lists 5.
Apologies! It's been corrected to reflect 5 new minis :)
Thank you Chris! :)

Just tell everyone, why don't ya?
Thanks Marco. I'll have to try to pick up the three I want individually.So far none of the painted "Pathfinder Battles Iconic Heroes" from the boxed sets 1-7 have been sold seperately from Wizkids or Paizo.
You will have to try your luck on ebay or online vendors, sorry. ;-(
If you're buying three then it might be better to buy the whole box and sale the unwanted ones. You're going to be paying a premium if you buy three individually, whereas if you buy the whole box you likely could have a lower cost after reselling the unwanted ones. Just depends if it's worth the hassle for you.

Which three iconics are you looking for?
The first line of the description calls the product set #7 instead of the correct #8.
Why did these sets stop coming with cards? Those cards were an important part for me.
See this comment by Vic Wertz and read the discussion that follows it. Basically, WizKids had too many logistical problems with inserting the cards and deemed it not valuable enough to justify the cost imposed by the problem.
I too wish they were still in the product.
Will we ever see a Mummy's Mask pre-painted miniature set? Or the miniatures for the Iconic Characters from the Hell's Vengeance Character Decks? I want to spend my money, but Paizo is not making products fast enough...

Personally i think both unlikely.
Here's why:Back in the day when i thought the next set of Pathfinder Battles minis would be "Mummies Mask", the decision was made to move away from naming and basing a miniatures set on a Pathfinder Adventures Path.
In my opinion that was a smart move, as a set can be more versatile now and yet include some specific minis from an AP.
To my knowledge, no specific character or creature mini from the MM AP has been mase into pre-painted plastic.
There are generic creatures like mummy & Sphinx, but that's it.
Besides, the egyptian mythology is kinda special and does not appeal to all buyers equally.
I also think that Mummies Mask is one of the APs which didn't sell out of a single volume yet.
The problem with the Iconic characters from "Hells Vengeance" is, that they are evil and most groups don't play with evil characters.
They would make a cool looking enemy NPC group though.

I'm guessing Captain Brown Bear's question had more to do with the Pathfinder Adventure Card Game, particularly the non-iconic characters that are in Mummy's Mask (Drelm, Channa Ti, Ahmotep) and the characters in the Hell's Vengeance character decks (which I think are the same characters in the RPG adventure path).
Captain: note that decisions for this product line actually lie with WizKids, not Paizo. The miniatures are made by WizKids under license.

Yes, i realize that and that there is a use for certain character minis in the Adventure game.
But with the Adventure card game cards not being a part of the Iconic Heroes sets any more, it seems even less likely that there will be boxed sets for the card game characters.
I think the probability is higher that we may see some characters popping up in the next Pathfinder Battles set "Jungle of Despair" or later sets.
Maybe we'll see some Pathfinder Tales character minis once that line picks up again?

Yeah, I agree. The likelihood of the "iconic heroes" line filling in the card game characters seems low. And yeah, I think our hope now is that they occasionally get included in the regular line, like Radillo, Meliski, and Ranzak were.
While I'm at it, Marco, let me say thanks to you. I only buy miniatures for the card game. From the moment I started trying to figure out the "world" of miniatures, I've found your information invaluable. So, thanks for sharing so much.
I picked up Iconics #8 yesterday at the FLGS. By far, the Human Noble is the best figure in the set with an amazing wealth of detail. This mini will serve well as a Noble, a wealthy Rogue, or a flamboyant Wizard/Sorceror. The Human Psychic is my next favorite, and makes an excellent spell caster/cleric figure. Meligaster comes in at third place with his beautifully detailed cloak and turban, while The Red Raven is my 4th favorite. While the Human Shifter is just as detailed and well-painted as the others, it is the figure I have the least use for and so is my least favorite from the set.
