Dear Vic,
On my playmats
Go to Premium Playmats.
Each adventure has a final villain in its last scenario which is pictured on my playmats:
- black fang
- nualia
- xanesha
- barl breakbones
- karzoug statue
- karzoug the claimer
- mokumurian
1. Are these final RotR villains ALL available as Pathfinder Battles miniatures?
2. Are ALL SS final villains as Pathfinder Battles miniatures available?
(Idea behind these two question: for mage knight lost legions game is the villain available as miniature). I would like to order these as a set right away. Would be so kind and name these so I could purchase these in the Paizo store?
3. How about ALL final villains are available for purchase?
We got the 7 iconic hero sets upcomping...
Why not to arrange sets for the 7 final villains of each adventure for one adventure path?
So you could sell for each adventure path also a villain set!!!
I know I am generating lots of cool ideas... For free :-)
I would purchase NOW the villain sets for RotR and SS if these are available as a complete set based on the Pathfinder Battles miniatures!
4. What do you think about the villain set idea?
5. It is cool when you buy an adventure and the appropriate final villain mini is included. So you could place it on the table and everybody is eager meeting him for the final blow on this long gaming night... How about a packaging: final villain plus adventure card deck?
6. if these villain miniature sets are not available, are you interested in producing them for RotR, SS and all the upcoming adv paths?
Looking very forward to reading from you...
Your proud quintuple PACG subscriber :-)

A lot of these miniatures, if not all of them, are aleady available via different sets such as Rise of the Runelords, Heroes & Monsters, and perhaps even Legends of Golarion.
The problem is that a few of those miniatures, such as the Karzoug Statue and Black Fang, are huge-sized miniatures. They fit on 3" bases rather than the typical 1" circular base. That means the packaging would have to be gigantic to fit them all, as well as be incredibly expensive.
Black Fang (the huge black dragon) was a promotional case incentive miniature that cost $50, while the Karzoug Statue was part of the huge-sized $25 blind boosters. So you're looking at over a $100 for a handful of miniatures for a game that doesn't even use miniatures.
And it would cost way too much and provide zero value to re-do the sculpts into a small scale. That's basically designing a new miniautre model for WizKids, who already has a ton on their plate and isn't cheap to do.
Sorry to burst your bubble, man. But it's just not feasible.

Well, wizkids is doing it with the iconics and this is feasible. If the iconics are a full success, then may be the villain sets are possible... Vic? :-)
Cheap, 30 usd for 7 miniatures is okay for me... Same number of miniatures for the villain set and may be same price.paizo then could also introduce a new unique BANE CARD in connection with its villain miniature to be shuffled in the last scenario of the adventure to give it a different special tweak ....
This is an amazing cool idea IMO...
sculpts in small scale are easily derived by JUsT rescaling the current large-scale model... So no big effort!
Cant wait to get some feedback from paizo on that...
My bubble is still intact and did not burst yet :-)
Is this black fang?

Regarding the adventure decks...
Paizo could do for sale
- the "usual" standard adv deck
- an "extended" deluxe adv deck including final villain miniature and additional BONUS BANE cards - some sort of collectors edition :-)

The Pathfinder Adventure Card Game really doesn't benefit from miniatures apart from, optionally, tokens to represent your characters. I can't imagine that this set concept would be a strong seller. Besides, many of the villains from the RotR and S&S Adventure Paths have already been made into minis in their respective minis sets, and there's little point in remaking them.

No, that one is Medium (meaning it has a 1" base), and was inspired by different art.
We used the Black Fang art to create this one, which is Huge (meaning it has a 3" base), but Black Fang is actually just Large (meaning he would have a 2" base).
