Miniatures Store Suggestion


Website Feedback


I've been contemplating buying some D&D Miniature singles, but I am having a hard time making my choices: I don't know the sizes.

Of course, I could go back to my MM and look up the size category for any given creature, but it's a bit much. Especially since some of the miniature names don't necessarily refer to the name of the creature!

Is there any way that a paranthetical (Medium, Huge) might be placed in the title/name of the miniatures in your Store? Or at least a chart or a list with all the miniatures and sizes compiled? This would be extremely useful to me.

Thank you.


Good idea.

Mentioning rarity would be good, too.

Finally, once a mini is out of stock, are the chances good that the mini will come back in-stock? If so, great and I am very interested in the critter packs. They have been out of stock the last few times I've checked.

Yeah—I was thinking about that myself when I was putting in War of the Dragon Queen singles. I'll see if I can add the size and rarity to the beginning of the product descriptions in the not-too-distant future.

In the meantime, one way you can find out size is to click on the product's image to bring up the larger product image. They're in relative scale to one another—for example, check out Aasimar Fighter (http://paizo.com/image/product/catalog/TSR/TSR95052-01_500.jpeg) compared to Aspect of Bahamut (http://paizo.com/image/product/catalog/TSR/TSR95052-02_500.jpeg).

It depends. If the set is still available in booster packs, we will restock the singles as they sell through. If the set is out of print, then we can't easily do that. (However, you will see an exception to this rule in the near future....)

Those exact packs will likely not come back in exactly those forms, but we do expect, in a few months, to modify some of those with available figures, and offer some new ones.

You can go at this link:

and use the Warband Generator.
If you click on the name of a mini you can see a picture and a brief descrition (Faction, Cost, Type, Subtype, Size, Level)...


While we are suggestion....you have the Reaper minis organized by type (humanoid, elf, dwarf, etc), but you have the D&D singles ordered by their expansion pack. Personally, I would consider buying single minis if I didn't have to browse through every expansion set to find where all the, oh lets say, drow are. If there was a link to Elves->Drow, or even just Elves, that would be much easier than searching by expansion pack.

For example...if I know I need 4 Sahuagin, 10 various Drow, a Bulette and 10 Emerald Claw Soldiers, I personally think it would be easier to look in a "Humanoid" directory for the sahuagin and the EC, a "Humanoid->Elf directory for the Drow, and a "Magical Beast" directory for a bulette, instead of browsing every expansion to find them.

We have an idea about how to make it super easy to find all of the minis you're looking for, but we haven't had the time to implement it yet. It's moving up the list all of the time, though.
