D&D Mini's- As well made as they appear in the pictures?
The pictures of the mini's look great on the website but are they? The painting sculpting, etc. all looks top of the line. I have never seen an actual D&D mini, so, are they actually that well made or do they do one really nice one, take lots of pictures of it, then make cheap versions for the customer? How do they compare in quality to Heroscape mini's? Are they made of the same material?
I will consider buying some (even though I hate the idea of blind purchases) if they are the quality that they first appear! Thanks for the help folks. |

If you are planning to use these for Heroscape, check Ebay, as that way you can buy what you want rather than do the random purchase thing. Saying good-by to Heroscape Get Real! http://www.reallifenow.org Check out some of my songs: www.myspace.com/rlccmusic |

I have a massive collection of D&D minis. The normal races would not work for HS but the monsters and monster races could work well. As to the paint jobs it is very random. I have some commons that have a great paint job and rares that look like crap. Although that is not the norm. The norm would be the rares look really great and teh commons are lacking in a good paint job.

I think the humans are the weakest, but the other creatures and figures are a real range...with the crazier, bigger monsters being quite nice. The newer the expansion wave the nicer the sculpts and paintjobs I think.
Overall I actually prefer Heroscape sculpts and paintjobs because I think Heroscape has a more interesting style. Are you looking for anything in particular? I still have a large box of figures to trade or sell. I got rid of a lot on eBay but there's still tons left. |

Dungeons and Dragons Dungeons of Dread
I have dungeons of dread boosters already, but am not allowed to open them till April 7th. They have sweet miniatures displayed on the side of the box like a Lamia and a Vampire spawn.

Re: D&D Mini's- As well made as they appear in the pictures?
I just purchased the 4e miniature starter set and four boosters of the new Dungeon of Dread series and they have all been excellent. In the interest of full disclosure, this is my first foray into D&D miniatures so I really don't know the quality of the older series. I read on another site that WoTC was increasing the quality of their minis (and also the price, boosters are now $15) for all new expansion releases. I guess they needed to do something with a lot of companies getting into the mini business (i.e. WOW mins). Which surprises me as I thought blind purchase mini sales were declining.

Yes, I've been pleased with the 4th ed minis as well. Really the quality in this range has been improving from set to set. If you look at some of the early sets like Harbinger and Dragoneye, most of those minis don't match up to what's available now. I would say D&D miniatures are a solid investment for anyone looking for generic fantasy minis.
