I was looking into the Plastic Models being put out for PATHFINDER next month when I discovered that PATHFINDER has an entire line of Paper Models.Sets contain anywhere from 8 to 150 Models per set ranging from $4-$6. Does anyone have any of these and would like to comment on the quality ?

I have a few. Some of the drawings are really great, very unique. But disappointingly, no backsides, as Reivaj says.

I got a look at a few of the early sets, and I wasn't impressed.
Not up to OneMonk standards at least. No Borders Mirrored art, front and back Inconsistent quality Amatuer Layout

I don't mind anime style paper models but I found the Pathfinder Paper models too cartoonish to fit in with my existing line of paper figures.

Before I've missed this topic. Generally I don't like at all paper minis without back ( and pathfinder paper minis are all with front and back mirrored ) First sets ( for the most part by Ashton Sperry ) are very original but overall only of medium quality, imho ( lack of backs, some colors, layout ... but especially lack of backs for me. And so it is still for all Paizo's sets. Sadly ) Some of these sets are improved with subsequent updates. And now this ( on the right ) is the Ashton Sperry's front paper minis quality ( imho very very good ). But there are others artists too. Todd Westcot Callous Jack ... All great artists ( imho ) and all great artworks ( unfortunately only art front ). These sets are are connected to the respective "Adventure Path"s chapters and have all npcs and monsters found in adventures ( 60, 90, 150 ... paper minis ) ... OK, these are rpg paper minis ( and backs don't necessarily need ) but I'd rather pay twice for "complete" miniatures wuth this quality. And I still don't understand these choices that ultimately don't allow to make the paper miniatures being autonomous but always leave the idea of a provisional token that replaces a three-dimensional miniature.

I really like Ashton Sperry's work... for what it is. My favorite figure of his (and one of my top 20 pics) is his Bullette from the Lithorian release (for $.99 USD). I feel you can't go wrong with this set, if just for the Bullettes alone. Sure, they are double-fronted, but do you really need a "back" on one like this? The hardest part of working with them is the "bases" or lack thereof! I just ignore them, and make my own tabs, since I flat-base everything anyway. Which set(s) were those figures from, Rhannon? I thought I had all of their sets... I guess not. Time to go digging.... Attachments:

I really like Ashton Sperry's style, and I got some sets despite the fact that they have mirrored backs.
I got the goblins because they look cool to me, but I printed them at 150% or they would have been too dinky (about 14mm from sole of foot to eye). I also converted them to use with One Monk bases.
I also have and like the Lithorian bulettes.
Have fun! Steve
