Starfinder Masterclass Miniatures: Navasi, Iconic Human Envoy

Are these in fact unpainted, or does the product image just need updating?

The single miniatures will be unpainted, yes.

The prepainted Starfinder miniatures will be sold in sets.

So is the entire line going to be resin? If so count me out. This material is not suitable for the gaming table. Resin (at least the ones I have worked with are too brittle and fragile when it comes to the "fiddly bits." And I'm not paying that price. No offense they are good looking figures but until a more durable and reasonable alternative comes alone we will just reuse our old plastic Star Wars minis. I had hoped they were going to be the prepainted plastic figures like Pathfinder, but resin is a no go for me. I won't even use them in 40k for the same reason.

Oi, where'd these go?

The "Masterclass" minis are individual unpainted resin figures. Sets of prepainted plastic minis will be available later.

These miniatures are currently part of the Starfinder Masterclass Miniatures Kickstarter, and Ninja Division didn't want to complicate the messaging, so both Ninja Division and Paizo have temporarily stopped offering them for sale.

How does that affect those of us who had preordered them? I was under the impression some were due to arrive with you in the next couple of weeks.

Has that changed? (Or was I mistaken?)

As the Kickstarter runs until wednesday 18th of october, that probably means, that the unpainted resin minis of the iconics will be available after that date.

That directly contradicts the last info (that the minis would be available this week from soda pop and next week from Paizo), which is the kind of bad information Ninja Division has been known for in the past.

None of that is your fault and i don't blame Paizo for that. :-)

I also only care about the prepainted plastic minis.

What i fear and have come to expect, is that ND will offer only a very limited number of minis (painted & unpainted) this year, mostly leftover from GenCon 50 (in case of the resin) and then exclusively concentrate on fullfilment of the first Kickstarter wave until may 2018 (as they will make a lot of money from that).

While that is understandable, that means non-kickstarter backers and flagstores won't be able to get their hands on (m)any miniatures until june 2018 earliest.

To me that is a bad thing, as i think the minis supplements should be available mainly from the same sources as the print products (flagstores, Paizo, online-stores).

I don't want to be all negative, and if we'll really get the eight iconic unpainted minis in october and the four ppm packs by december 2017, that will soothe some of my concerns.

Thank you for your always appreciated stream of info, Vic and have a great weekend. :-)

It seems the minis ARE available after all:

Starfinder Miniatures (Ninja Division)

I just checked, you have to log in to facebook to see them, strange.

I´ll try to find a better link for those who are not registered there...

Log into Facebook to see them where? Your link just goes to someone's post about having preordered them months ago and finally receiving them.

Just to be clear here, all I was saying is that the products are unavailable to order during the Kickstarter. This does not affect the shipping of previously placed orders—when we get 'em, we'll ship 'em.

Thanks for the reassurance, Vic. Thats good to hear.

Now we know who is the least favorite iconic. ;-)

so i kickstarted the starfinder minis and haven't heard anything in quite some time, any information to share?

Simply don't buy these ones at all. Bought two when they first dropped and they were horrible. Almost 100% detail loss, incredibly brittle even for resin, and for some unknowable reason was glossy. It wasn't releasing agent I tried to clean it up (and that's how I ended up breaking it)
