First post here, please take it easy!
I love minis. My wife hates minis, so now I too hate minis.
I love the tokens that have come in the D&D Essential lines. Great artwork, nice heft, in general, I believe to be a great token. They are also round.
I have found the Fiery Dragon line of tokens. I have looked through the Castle of Shadows, and while Claudio Pozas is very talented, I prefer other art work for tokens. I also prefer round tokens.
I have found a cheap place to buy wooden disks from Woodworks Lt at craftparts.com. I have found a place to purchase sticker sheets that can be printed out on high gloss photo paper at online labels. I can make them if I have to, not preferred though.
What I really want though is Paizo to put out tokens based on their art and Bestiary 1/2. I have found some discussion here on this, but is this even in the planning stages from Paizo or is this a pipe dream on my part?
If this is never to happen, am I allowed to pull artwork out of the Bestiary or any other source to make my own tokens?
Are there already products out there that fill my need? I have done a lot of looking, but the hobby is fairly large and I could have missed it.
Thanks in advance for any help/input on this.
Cheers,
James
I too would invest money into token minis (or actual plastic minis!) from the Bestiary 1 and 2. Right now I am sculpting vegepygmies out of polymer clay for an upcoming game I am running :(

I would hope both WOTC and Paizo would issue tokens as a distinct and seperate product. Keeping up with miniatures is too expensive, especially for the rare creatures that are used only a couple times.
There was a related post a few weeks back asking for the same kind of thing.
I mentioned there that a PDF containing some tokenized monster art would be quite a boon to VTT players. Add a subtle Pathfinder logo and that would be great promotional material — VTT players would see them in games, tabletop players could print them for pogs, and what have you. It would make a great promo if Paizo has the time to put it together.
I guess there could be a paid product, but at that point I would just buy a bestiary PDF and punch out my own token images.

Here's the link (http://paizo.com/paizo/messageboards/community/gaming/minis/howToMakeMinis ForYourRPGGameOnTheCheap) for one member's concept of tokens. They are pretty sweet.

The Ruins Perilous are being released with tokens for each room. The art is by James "DevinNight" Hazelett.
I was thinking about this today and started wondering about SJGames Cardboard Heroes (http://www.sjgames.com/heroes/) and if folks used them? I don't mind counters, but was thinking these would be even better ....

I've used them in any superheroes game I've ever run or played in, but I just never bought any of thier fanatasy sets. Not sure why - probably because I have several thousand painted fantasy miniatures and twice as many unpainted.
I bought the SJ carboard heroes, when they were actually sold in card stock with a spiral binder. I still use them today mounted on 25mm bases with a center slot. I am not sure I would go that route today.
I found a nifty tool, via Alea Tools for 4E counters. They have a hole punch and bases for medium and large size creatures. This allows you to re-use any art to create tokens. This is the path I would take, if I didn't have so much invested in D&D miniatures and the SJ carboard heroes.
