Group Hug!

I really appreciate these kinds of store blogs. I've grabbed a few of each and there's no way I would have noticed this line without it - I wouldnt even have gone looking.

I've gotten a bunch of these from, ahm... another vendor. They're great. High quality and really nice looking. Glad to see them here at Paizo now.

Nifty! I hope Paizo starts carrying the rest of their minis.

The perfect solution for the nebulous Tentacle Attack! in From Shore to Sea.

Any idea how these measure up to a standard Pathfinder miniature? Does the base fit a standard 1 inch square?

I have a few of these already, and yes, the bases are the same standard size. The only difference is that there are 4 little notches in the edge of the base (almost like a round piece of Lego).

I really hope Paizo brings in the rest of the minis from this company - they have familiars and commoners, which are always hard to find.

The commoners are great, the familiars are well done I just wish they would do more of each, the players at my table are starting to name the four commoners and any time I place them on a map they make jokes about the frequency of my using them.

SO. AWESOME. /)^3^(\

These are incredibly useful. I recently used the Kraken Tentacles as the the arms to the Black Magga in Rise of the Runelord. Gifted Visions is really trying to fill the gap of minis needed in Pre-Painted Plastic.

I hope to see some of there other stuff here at Paizo too! :)

Very cool. I too had no idea (and just placed an order).

Going to have to take a look at what they offer but I prefer to get (most) of my stuff through Paizo, so I too hope the line makes it here.

I'll need to repaint one of the tentacles green . . .
so I can re-enact my favorite scenes from Day of the Tentacle.

I removed an inappropriate post.

Thanks for highlighting these great minis.

I have like 8x of each type of tentacle, and I can confirm that they are on 1" round bases. Their plastic is about as brittle as the Pathfinder minis (they kind of clink when you hold them together in your hand), much harder than the soft bendy D&D miniatures.

It's unfortunate that this publicity came a bit too late for the company's recently failed kickstarter campaigns. Oh well.

That's not right!

Yeah, I've got eight of the plant vines. Great multitaskers. Could be set dressing, a climbable vine, or an assassin vine. Very practical and well-painted.

When you say "brittle" that usually implies they break easily, have any of your DCMs broken?

The unfortunate thing is that, as appropriate as the Grappler is for black tentacles, it takes 64 of them to cover the area of the spell! That gets a little pricy!

True, but what I do is put one tentacle at each corner point of the area and tell the players that the tentacles fill the entire space; economical, and the player minis in the area of effect are not standing on the bases of a bunch of tentacles.

I can't speak for zlguocius but none of mine have broken. What I have found is that some of the old D&D minis are very soft and can become disfigured easy (swords, arms, wings etc. Where your figures (and the Pathfinder ones as well) seem a little more stiff and thus hold their complete shape better.

I bought the Kraken Tentacle and Plant Vine they have been very useful in games I have run. Both are durable and I’m very pleased with the minis. I also have the Giant Ant, Raven and Wooden Coffin from the companies Omens line which are also good quality minis.
