Pathfinder Battles: Iconic Heroes Set #5


Product Discussion


With Adowyn and Leryn this is a must have set for me, even with the 16% price hike (ouch). But it appears that these sets are popular and I for one will keep buying them.

Ooo ... I beat the official "Announced" first post.

If the pics there are accurate, the LERYN ANIMAL COMPANION sculpt is way too big (or the base is way too small).

I really dislike how Paizo has allowed some newer sculpts to be over-sized, especially compared to those that were released early on.

I hope this gets moved to february.

With Set 4 shipping in december and a case of Pathfinder Battles: The Rusty Dragon Inn" coming out in january there are too many miniature products in a too short time.

February also sees the release of D&D Icons "Monster Menagerie" - but that set is all creatures and not PCs and NPCs like this and Rusty Dragon Inn.

It seems that i got my wish.
Set 5 is not in the "january 2016 new release shipping thread".

It may be in stores at the end of january but will ship from the warehouse in february.

Considering that set 4 is not yet out in europe (but in the USA) and seems to have some serious quality issues i suggest delaying sets 5 and 6 until the minis look better like in set 1 and 2.

Where have you heard/seen that it has quality issues?

The only rating so far on Set #4 is not encouraging. (Not enough to stop me from buying the set, but still...)

Updated to February release. I don't have a expected release date at the moment, but it is not here in time for our January shipments so I've moved it to February until I have more information.


price of oil down...think sets price cheaper....paint jobs means low end help...cheaper......maybe more bananas for the painters.
these last icon sets are looking like your lesser competitor... D&D attack wing....now cheap ass sculpts and dip and dry painting.

...money = quality???

we'll shall see

I thought my set #4 minis looked fine, but I'm slowly learning that things (like faces) that don't bother me send others into spastic, mouth-foaming fits. Meh.

The faces are the most important thing to me.
I can live with mediocre paint jobs on the body but if i get a mini with a funny face i don't want to play it.

Sadly the quality of set 4 seems to be even below that of set 3 (which was the first with badder face paints).
I thought the price increase was to make shure that the face paint jobs are better.

The set is out according to wizkids and it looks much better than set 4 - especially the faces.

As one of the people disappointed in #4, I'm cautiously optimistic about #5, having seen a few actual photographs from 3rd party seller websites of the iconics in the box.

Here's hoping #4 was just a fluke...

Will Lem be in set six? I miss the little guy. :)

He sure will! ^_^


I'm very curious to see what kind of promo card Zadim will get... as he himself isn't even in the Adventure Card Game yet!

I know this is propably not your job, but when is the art updated?

Street date is in 2 days.

Thx, Sara Marie!

This is out today and still has no image - i think Paizo needs to hire a few new workers as that happens more often lately.

I'm sure hiring an employee specifically so that one person gets the image of their favourite product image updated is a sound use of money.

It's on our radar, and I'm waiting to get some of the miniatures in hand to photograph them for the webstore personally. Trust me, I want the images up on the website just as much :)

In the meantime, I'll see what I can do to at least add the renders from our blogs so folks have an idea of the pose/styling to expect on the figures.


Got mine on my lunch time, don't had time to open and look properly but on the first look those are realy good looking
