I wasn't sure were to post his recipe. It seems I always post in the wrong place. Sorry in advance. Anyways, this set of mini figs or miniatures is easy to make and works nicely with Pathfinder minis.
Yes. My daughter love the comic as well. You asked for some pictures of the miniatures. Well, here you go. This shows the process from A to Z. Hopefully you can share this with others.
James Stowe's Sidekick Quest character are off the charts awesome. My daughter loves playing these characters.
Here are the minis for Sidekick Quests:

For a bit more fun, here are the minis for D&D the 80s Cartoon Series:

I printed these using an Epson semi-pro printer with no-smudge Claria ink on Super-D-Duper Premium Ultra Awesomeness. That is the most expensive part of the project. The instructions below cover the base construction and final assembly.
You will need:
1. Patience
2. Printer
3. Paper - Heaviest pre-colored stock that your printer will accept. I chose a green 12x12 scrap book paper.
4. Scissors
5. Clear Glue Sticks
6. 15" or larger Paper Trimmer
7. More Patience
Step 1: Download this PowerPoint template and print it out on a wide format printer. I prefer scrapbook paper for its thickness. I also have a wide format printer that can handle 12x12. Image
Step 2: Print! Be sure to tell PowerPoint the printer is 12x12 or you will waste paper. Step 2 Image
Step 3: Verify the quality of the print job. Step 3 Image
Step 4: Cut this bad boy up with the Paper Trimmer. You have one - right? I wait till the kids are upstairs. It's a dangerous contraption. Step 4 Image
Step 5: Buckle yourself in for detail cutting with scissors. So begins the heavy labor part of the project. Step 5 Image
Step 6: More labor. This time start folding on the indicated lines. It's not rocket science. Just go at it. Try not to double fold or it will not be able to hold its shape. Step 6 Image
Step 7: Glue Phase 1. Attach T-shape upright to base. Be generous with the glue stick for Phase 1. Step 7 Image
Step 8: Glue Phase 2. Flip the Hexagon flaps back over the T-shap upright to secure. Again, be generous with the glue stick. Just be careful to not get glue on the upper exposed surface. Even though it is clear, it will show carelessness. Step 8 Image
Step 9: Attach your folded miniature to the assembled base. Slather on the glue on the miniature first and be very careful to not get glue on the pictured side. Step 9 Image
Step 10: Oh - no way! This is looking too good to be true now. Let me at that dungeon. Step 10 Image
Step 11: The coast is clear. Call the kids back into the room and start rolling the d20.
