Kobolds are invading Flatminis! But that is good, because that makes Flatminis not only the home for 2D plastic heroes, but home for monsters and evil characters as well. Let’s greet these nasties as they open the door for more monsters to come. Check them out at www.flatminis.com and adopt one today! www.facebook.com/flatminis/

The art of these minis in great, but I must admit I'm a little confused/disappointed about the price for digital version.
I think it's too high, about 1.5/1.6 dollar for a single miniature with single layer.
If you become a patron for PrintableHeroes, you can obtain his minis for 1 or 2$/month, at least a new set per month.
IMHO, a price around 2$ ( or €, is more or less the same at the moment) for a fantasy football team (0.50$ per miniature) seems to me more aligned with the market.

I am going to have to agree with aleks. Your figs are glorious to look at, but at that price, all they will be for me is eye candy. If there were more than just one layer to the figure pdf's or there was something else special included with the figure, I could see that price point, but as is, I can't justify my spending that much on paper figs, while on comixininos.com, full 3d minis are running about 6€ a piece and cheaper by the team. Still love the look of the figs you have created, and keep up the good work.

aleks, whisper31: can't argue with that. It's only natural to keep improving and searching for ways to offer more, better, cheaper with time. Meanwhile: Wizards, clerics and sorceresses fill the ranks of Flatminis heroes. And some pointy eared archers too. Latest wave brings even more ways to play your RPGs or proxy a miniature game character. Check how well they are doing among other great heroes at www.flatminis.comwww.flatminis.comwww.facebook.com/flatminis

They do look fantastic, but I have to agree that the pricing model for pdfs seems excessive. I would happily buy a pdf of all six for a few euros, but €1.5 each is too high.

@flatminis, I have to agree with the general assessment that your miniatures--while beautiful--are overpriced for the market at 1.5 euros/dollars. I strongly recommend you go to RPGNow.com or DrivethruRPG.com (they are really the same site, behind the label), and browse the existing offerings for printable miniatures. There are a variety of artists and styles available, and while yours are excellent, there are several lines available of comparable quality at much lower prices.
The going rate for printable 28-32mm miniatures is roughly $2-$4 for a set of between 6 and 12 miniatures. Most artists offer layered PDFs with some color and/or accessory options, so that a single set can be printed as 24 or more (often many more) unique figures. Pay particular attention to sets from Okumarts, Permes, Trash Mob Minis, Kev's Lounge/Papercraft Dungeon, and One Monk/Mayhem in Paper--these artists' packages show a range of styles, and give you a good idea of the amount of value that hobbyists expect in a pack of typically-priced printable miniatures.
Once you have decided on a packaging plan that is more competitive with the existing market, I'd strongly suggest offering your line on RPGNow/DriveThruRPG, for customer convenience. Most of us have active accounts with that website, which lets us buy downloadable products from literally hundreds of publishers with a single account and payment method. That website also already has many years of track record, with reliable customer service and negligible downtime. I am much less inclined to make a purchase that requires a new account and payment method with a non-US website that offers a very limited product line and that I've never dealt with before.
For example, if you offered the six human player-character miniatures you've just debuted in a single package, preferably with 2-4 color variations in a layered PDF, I'd happily pay around $2.99. But at $1.50 for a single figure with no recolors and no optional features, your current per-figure price point is several times your competitors prices.
To assure you that I would be a potential customer at a different price point, I'll tell you that I am a current Patreon supporter of your first artist, Printable Heroes, at the $3 a month level, and have been for several months. That gives me access to his entire catalog, with reskins and color variants, in very impressively-presented PDFs.
Your figures are very nice, and I have invested the time necessary to write this response because I do want to see you bring them to market at a competitive price point, so that your company will thrive and your products will be available for a long time to come. I hope that you will consider the advice that I and the other members of this forum have offered, and at the very least, take a careful look at the state of the current market for the type of product you are selling.
Best of wishes to you!
