D&D Icons of the Realms Miniatures: Rage of Demons - Booster Pack

Product Review (submitted on October 10, 2015):
Some good to excellent sculpts in this set, but as often is the case the paint jobs are often muddled. If you're into repainting the minis, there are some great ones to work with. If you're not, the paint jobs are for the most part acceptable.
A good selection of critters that you'll actually use in a dungeon crawl. Unfortunately, some of the most interesting critters are only found in the rares (rust monster, grell, spectator, xorn).
Some of the rares are excellent (beholder, a couple of dragons, mind flayer lich, etc), while others leave you regretting that when you finally got a rare, that was the one you got (hook horror, elf archer, blink dog, bugbear hunter, helmed horror). Don't get me wrong, they're not bad minis, but as a rare they are a disappointment.
A big drawback, common to recent sets: a number of the minis come with clear pegs that are supposed to connect them to the bases, and the pegs often don't fit without a lot of work, possibly including trimming parts, gluing in the pegs, and/or slightly melting the ends of the pegs to get them to squeeze in where they are supposed to go.
Overall, some excellent minis to have in your collection, very few that feel like useless filler, some good minis in the uncommons and not just the rares, but some quality issues that drag it down from a 5 to a 4 in most categories.
