First of all, I love the pathfinder minis (got a case) and am impressed with the quality levels that Wizkids and Paizo has set. However, as I was looking through them, there were quite a few miniatures that set off a little buzz in the back of my head, sayings "Wait! Don't I have that miniature already?"
Now, I realize that physical anatomy limits the number of interesting poses that a miniature can be in, but having collected many WizKids minis in the past (Mageknight), I noticed a lot of them are incredibly similar to previously produced products.
One of the most obvious is the wolf.
Compare the Pathfinders Heroes & Battles wolf to their previous Mageknight wolf:

The Pathfinder Elf Wizard is extremely reminiscent in pose to the Paladin Priest from Mageknight. Both elves in the same pose, robes, only difference one is carrying a lantern and the paint scheme.
The Pathfinder Orc Brute reminds me a lot of Wizkid's Troll Zombie in its pose, but at least its an entirely different race/creature so I don't have that same reaction.
