Maze of Death Discussion

I just added some previews of the Pathfinder Battles Maze of Death set to the site.

http://www.miniscollector.com/pathfinder-battles/maze-death

Looks like the case incentive will be a two-figure set of huge elementals. Looking forward to better pics of those. The blue dragon looks amazing.

What do you think?

Getting caught up on previews. Just added the new Minotaur figures.

A minotaur with black armor and a flaming sword? Yes, please!

Yeah, that's a cool Mino mini. I could wish he wasn't Rare (imagine two flanking the portal from Deadly Foes...!).

If I know my group, they'd be more frightened of the minotaur cleric. >:-)

New previews added. Better pictures of the Mindfrond and Sea Drake. Two Ulat Kini. Two fungi(!!!)

Check 'em out on the Maze of Death page: http://www.miniscollector.com/pathfinder-battles/maze-death

I'm really excited about the purple fungus. The underdark awaits!

The new minis look great.

I'm almost embarrassed about how giddy the purple fungus makes me...

The ghost fungus looks nice, too, and the ulat kini will be great additions to my Sea Devil horde.

(I'm surprised they didn't put the moray eel on a flight stand, though.)

Yeah, a flight stand would have made a lot of sense. They've done it in the past with their shark minis (which are awesome!)

The new figures from last night's preview are up on the site. Lots of undead, including the Penanggalen, which I've loved ever since the 1e Fiend Folio. There's a clearer look at the Blue Dragon, which looks like a great piece. Also a Nightmare Dragon that's exactly as-advertised.

Woo-Hoo, Penanggalen!

Witchfire looks really attractive, and that Nightmare Dragon is very intriguing. I hope the sculpts do these renders justice.

I finally caught up with the past few weeks of Maze of Death previews. Sixteen (!!) new figures, with some real gems in there. I really like the new lizardfolk, and I'll have to find a place for the Pretty Goblin somewhere in my campaign. Lots of good stuff overall.

Seven more figures posted, all commons and uncommons. You can check them out here: http://www.miniscollector.com/minis/recent

Pretty neat assortment.

I'm happy to finally see an Amphisbaena. All critters from 1st edition should be represented at least once.

Those lizardfolk do look especially nice.

Necromancer looks appealing. Wood Golem is decent. Pitborn Fighter looks really nice, and I will never find a use for it. Viper Vine is kinda weird-looking, but I enjoy the autumnal color-scheme. Halfling Butcher is nice, as it almost meets my desire for "everyday halflings". The Ghul looks promising, but it's hard to tell.

Pretty Goblin will stand alongside Ranzak in the no-doubt ever-growing assortment of outlandish Pathfinder goblins (I think one in a crimson musketeer outfit with large-plumed, big hat would be a lovely addition).

The last preview just went up, and you can see the complete set at: http://www.miniscollector.com/pathfinder-battles/maze-death

I'm loving all the dungeon dressing pieces. Hopefully they'll play nice with all my Dwarven Forge stuff.

One thing to note: I originally had a huge water elemental in the case incentive set, but the preview shows a fire elemental. I converted the existing listing for the water elemental to fire, so if you added the old figure to your collection, the new one will be there in its place.

I guess folks weren't so jazzed about that Water Elemental Lord...either that, or those water tendrils were playing havoc with production. ;)

Talmandor & Diabolic Mystic are pretty cool, but I'm less enthused by the final figures than I am about the dressing pieces. None of them are must-have pieces, but they're all "yep, I can use that" items.

I hope that, as their collection of molds grows, Whiz Kids will eventually be able to offer some non-blind all-dressing reissue sets (or even as blind singles, ala We Be Goblins).

(Then again, I've hoped the same in vain as their collection of animals has grown.)

So, im looking around comparing prices for maze and im seeing some pics of the portcullis that are bent, specifically minis market and coolstuff also one on wizkids.com, i know its a little early but is anyone else seeing this, is this a factory error or just some unfortunate pics?

I haven't gotten this set yet (I'm catching up after a year of Kickstarter taking all my gaming cash), but hopefully it's an isolated issue. Minis made of the softer plastic can be bent back into place after submerging in hot water. As long as the bigger pieces aren't made of the same hard plastic as the bases of the large-sized minis, you should be able to correct it.

If you end up getting one that's bent, please share pics with us here.

I got a look at some of the set pieces this weekend at GameholeCon, and it does look like they're cast in the softer plastic. Bending dididn't seem to be an issue on the pieces I saw, with the exception of the Portcullis. On that one, the grate was bent fairly significantly. But the good news is that, since it's the softer plastic, you should be able to bend them back into place using the hot water/cold water method.

I bought a couple boxes and got a sea drake and an eel. No scenery, though.
