How About an Iconics Set 2?

Liberty's Edge

A miniature set I wouldn't mind seeing an "Iconics revisited" with the iconics of later sets repainted and re-released.

People love the iconics, and they often quickly sell out in the singles store.
Many are now unavailable online, and no one is going to buy a case just for an Amiri or Lini. (Plus, a couple of the paint jobs on a few were shakey, so it's be a chance for WizKids to show off their stuff. )
The sculpts are already done. The molds have been made. And the paint masters exist, and just need tweaking: it should be fairly cheap compares to new figures.

The concept of repaints of the iconics poses a problem: they have a definitive color scheme. Sure, we could give Seoni a blue dress to differentiate her... but then she wouldn't be iconic Seoni—she'd be "weird blue dress Seoni."

We also can't just reissue the existing sculpts *without* repainting them, as that would devalue the ones we've already released. If somebody paid $20 for the exact same mini that they could now buy in a set of 4 for the same price, they'd likely be pretty annoyed, and rightly so.

The only good solution here is new sculpts.

I agree, new sculpts would be the best solution. But there are so many different iconics out there now, why not minis for the newer ones?

Could we not do an iconic set for the upcoming ACG iconics?

I am a new GM and I am trying to put together a set of Iconic mini's to be used by new players, and myself. There right now I am not going to be able to get a Amiri figure because it is going for an insane amount of money.

I have thought of several simple solutions that would benefit everyone. Of course new sculpts would have to be made for the already existing mini's

1. Why not make a set of mini's like what was done for Undead, We Be Goblins, just for the
Iconics.

2. Why not create a blister pack (Like the beginning box set) for say each Rule book that comes
out. So there would be one for Core, Adv. Player, etc. etc etc.
