Everything fit together with barely any need to resort to Blu-Tac (except the earth elemental’s head.) Everything stands upright, they have a good heft to them, and one probably won’t even need to base these guys unless one wants to. The Hydra, Frost Wyrm and Forces of Nature sculpts were very good. I’ll work it out later when I get to painting.

I couldn’t for the life of me remember how to get a proper macro mode going, so stuff will be blurry and lack detail. The caveat is that the details do seem a bit shallower than that on metal minis, so I suspect thin layers of paint will be in order here to not accidentally remove that detail.įor the following photos, please bear in mind that I just grabbed a camera in my excitement and mostly snapped on automatic before I ran out of charge. Examining an elf showed that even the eyeball sockets were there. Fine lines like that on the dragon wing membranes have actually been picked up. The detail level was also very satisfactory for me, factoring in the material they are made out of. I was only not too pleased with one sculpt, which I will describe later. Most of the joins fit together decently well, though if you’re picky, some puttying to smooth things over would be necessary. I don’t really forsee a problem supergluing them in place later, but there’s always “green stuff” epoxy putty if it doesn’t work. The rest (like some heads) were a little light to lock in place securely, so I used some Blu-Tac as temporary sticky putty for the test fit. Again, to my surprise, about two thirds of the parts fit together very well and even stayed in place without any kind of adhesive whatsoever. I couldn’t resist cracking some bags open and test fitting parts. (Note, these are the larger “extras” minis I was sorting, so I presume there was quite a lot of resin/plastic that went into making them.) For plastic minis, they have a very nice solid feel to them. The first thing I was rather taken aback by was the heft. It ended up a rather high-tech low-tech crossover with iPad in one hand as picture reference and receipt in the other, sorting one pile of white from another. I couldn’t remember offhand which one was Red Dragon versus There Be Dragons, fer instance. This was a little tricky as I’d bought a LOT of dragons. A wandering package gone walkabout is rare.) Credit to them, they do send replacements quickly and generally, 95% of the shipments make it in 7-10 days or less. (I’ve had the odd Amazon shipment go awry and take a month or two to arrive. USPS performed admirably and got the box here in one piece in a rather timely fashion. I much rather they pack my stuff well and not miss out a thing, rather than face a longer process of back-and-forth emailing and shipping to get replacements. I got the email a week ago saying Reaper’d finally shipped out my package.Īs I was one of those international nutcases who got nearly one of everything extra, I was fully expecting the late ship date. Defence Grid delivered on their expansion, and so did Reaper. That makes my Kickstarter record 2 for 2. Almost one year later to the date, these beauties are finally home in my grubby greasy hands.
