Replies on X/Twitter are sharing their very own frustrations. One user shared a Gale that might encourage equally baffled reactions, and one other received their box but didn’t have a head for Shadowheart. I discovered not less than one particular person saying theirs got here in okay, however most replies appeared pissed off with the high quality of the miniatures.
Introduced final yr, these miniatures from WizKids retail for $49.99 for the entire set, which incorporates seven pre-painted minis for Wyll, Karlach, Lae’zel, Astarion, Shadowheart, Gale, and Withers. (Minthara and Halsin, presumably, breathe a heavy sigh of reduction.)
“Housed in non-blind windowed packaging, this set consists of pre-painted miniatures for Astarion, Karlach, Gale, Shadowheart, Wyll, Lae’zel, and Withers,” the official description for the set learn. “The set is ideal for Dungeon Masters trying to characteristic a well-known character or as a collector’s piece for Baldur’s Gate and D&D followers.”
Whereas the miniatures appear to be concentrating on a extra budget-conscious demographic than skilled, hand-crafted, paint-it-yourself miniatures, it is nonetheless not an incredible look when normal response to your Shadowheart determine is “that is not Shadowheart.”
Larian simply bid farewell to Baldur’s Gate 3 with Patch 8, its remaining main patch for its 2023 RPG that took the world by storm. The studio’s CEO Swen Vincke has dropped some hints about what’s subsequent for Larian, however except for it not being Baldur’s Gate nor Dungeons & Dragons, there’s not an excessive amount of extra to go on.
