For the characters used in the card game, which of the cardboard character sets have the cardboard standup heroes?
(I saw the thread about the minis, but even though I'm sure this was asked, I couldn't find the thread..)
Edit: Looks like the NPC codex box:
311 Amiri, Barbarian
312 Lem, Bard
313 Kyra, Cleric
314 Lini, Druid
315 Valeros, Fighter
316 Sajan, Monk
317 Seelah, Paladin
318 Harsk, Ranger
319 Merisiel, Rogue
320 Seoni, Sorcerer
321 Ezren, Wizard
I have the Beginner Box, which gave me some of those characters. I printed some of the other characters at about the right size, pasted these onto some 1mm cardboard that I got in some toy or something and I use the bases from the Beginner Box. This is a great way to show your character at a location.
I just swiped the graphic from the card, erased everything around it, added in my own light colored backgrounds to fit each of their roles and then printed my own standups on really heavy card stock. Looks great and works perfectly. And was free.
The best standups are clearly these ones...

That I made them myself with the Iconics graphics made available by Paizo for community use is purely incidental.
If I could insert some images here for you I would, but look at the thread on the BGG page and judge for yourself how they look!

"Clearly"? Ehh, not bad but I'll stick with the ones I made.

The comment was tongue-in-cheek, but I do think they're quite good ;)
I'm a fan! My wife and I printed out your standees using pilfered work cardstock, and superglued them to some leftover stands we had from some other game (Descent? Mansions of Madness?) It was our first time using an xacto knife as a couple. :D
@Dave - Glad to have helped bring your PACG games into the third dimension! I look forward to seeing a photo of your efforts :)
@xris - nice one :) My version of the characters is only legless after their disco in the tavern.
The best I got is the picture I tweeted. I suppose its low quality hides some of the flaws, like how there's fingerprint-shaped superglue marks at the bottom of both figures. :D

But thanks again! Using the character tokens was a lot less involving.
Can I re-post that image on the BGG thread?
Sure, if you'd like. Though now I wish I took a better one!
One thing I like about using stand-ups (other than saving space on the table and looking great) is that I lie them down when they successfully close a location. It is just an easy way to make the temporarily closed locations.
I'm using the pawns from the Beginner Box, and a few I've had to make by printing Sajan etc and pastining onto cardboard and sticking into Paizo's pawn bases.
I've had the problem with my 3 & 5 y.o. kids playing with them, but the pawns really stand up to the challenge (boom-tish!)
Perhaps the second Adventure Path will come with a handful of pawns rather than a card for each character...? (Vic? Are you reading this?)
But then when I slow down to think about it.... The pawns come printed on one sheet with about two or three dozen characters which is too many. That one sheet won't fit in the box. The pawns and six bases probably cost a lot more than 11 cards. Maybe they can pop the pawns out of the sheet and drop them into the box, but then there is increased production coat due to handling. Hopefully it is not as bad as I'm making it out to be and Vic thinks it is a great idea. I reckon you could even sell the 11 pawns with six bases as an add-on, though that would have to coincide with another pawn print run.
Just saw that there's a new Bones Kickstarter which includes several Pathfinder heroes, including Sajan, Lini and Harsk:

Linkified for you (check out the "How to format your text", below).
Reaper already has many of the characters available in unpainted plastic for about $2.50 each. Kyra & Lem are at the bottom of this page. A bit of searching will also show Amiri, Merisiel, Valeros, Seoni, Seelah, and Ezren.
Sorry, must be getting lazy in my old age (or just confused since BGG auto-links http URLs). You should see some of my other posts... formatting and hyperlinks all over the show :)
Ah yes, and the other thing about the Bones Kickstarter is that delivery is scheduled for December . By which time we'll be half way through a whole new AP!
