Pathfinder Battles: Skull & Shackles - Booster Brick (8)

They are of course a perfect for the campaign of the same name, but they are also a great way to get some aquatic beasties and nautical figures for use in any campaign. The paint jobs are pretty decent, I didn't see much overlap into other parts of the figure and it looked like all the essential details were hit. Most of the sculpts were fairly dynamic and interesting. The two complaints I had were the packing and the stands on the flying and swimming minis. The stands snap free from the bases too easily, it is an easy fix with a good glue, but it is still something one should not need to do for a brand new preassembled and prepainted mini. A handful of the minis were busted apart at glue points due to breaking loose and moving about in the packaging. This isn't on shipping or retailers, it is the factory packing job that is the culprit. It works out to two something a mini I think, which is a pretty good deal for these really. Overall they are worth the buy, I'd purchase again if I needed more. The minis are good stuff and save me a lot of painting and assembly, even with the flawed factory packing.

I am running a Skull & Shackles game and I got this to flesh out the npcs and monsters around the characters. The miniatures are very impressive, well sculpted and painted... Most of the time. There are a couple unfortunate paint jobs that make the particular npc look like a deformed mutant but all of the monsters are Fantastic. Another downside is a lot of the more impressive ones at least LOOK fragile so I don't want to take them out of their plastic shipping containers. Which reminds me, every mini comes with a protective plastic shipping container which not only locks in the bases so they can't move, but, for the larger ones, completely molds around the mini so the little bits can't even become damaged.
