Classic Encounters - Essential Set - 65 Iconic DND Miniatures Bulk Monsters, 28mm, Unpainted Tabletop RPG DND Minis Figures, Dungeons & Dragons D&D Miniatures, Fantasy D&D Figures, Assembled Unprimed

These minis are well cast and the selection is great for any GM who wants some old-school regulars. Some were bent a bit out of shape, especially the larger stands, but it's easily fixed with the hot water trick. Good, cheap minis. Very well scaled for 28mm.

Good value for standard monsters you need a lot of, like kobolds, goblins, orc, gnolls, undead....you get 4 of each, so I might buy a second lot, as these grunt-level monsters usually appear in a larger horde than 4. The monsters are nice and standard, without weird creative additions (eg: "goblin riding a fish and wielding a garden rake") that would make them useless. Scale is perfect, with 1" circular bases for medium (and small--goblins and kobolds are to scale, but still have a 1" base). Plastic is neither as fragile and brittle as 3D printed figures (which I regret having spent so much time painting, as many of mine are now broken) nor as bendy and warped (and expensive) as Reaper/Bones. Detail is maybe not quite as minute as Reaper/Bones, but still much better than I thought it would be at this price. In fact it may well be as detailed. You would need a magnifying glass to tell the difference. Haven't tried painting them yet, but for several (gargoyles, troglodytes..) they might not need much more than a black wash, as they already come in a grey shade of plastic that is pretty close to the color they are supposed to be. In truth, I'm pretty surprised this doesn't cost more, as other figurines I've bought at only a little below this price point have looked like melted wax and/or been off-scale.

I'm a professional DM. I use these for DnD games with the kids I DM. It's a good amount and varied bunch of minis. Liked it well enough to buy the other set from this manufacturer.

This helped fill in the gaps of what we needed for D&D encounters. No issues with packaging. Good value. Will be looking at other sets.

All of the models that came with this were in great condition. I often worry about boxes of minis risking damage to some, but these all arrived with no damage. Most of the creatures there are 4 of each which makes for setting up a good battle field and doing some diverse painting schemes.I did find several of the models had excess flashing from where the injection molds bled out. This is easily trimmed away with a hobby knife.Details is actually rather good for injection mold minis. I feel like some parts could be more defined but overall these are a great value.I got them to paint with my kid. I let her go kind of crazy with the paints then I either hit them with varnish or do some minor touch ups, like adding a wash and dry brush to them. It makes for some really unique creatures that can have fun stories behind them to fit their design. Also, brings a smile to the table when my kid gets to see her work on the table. I'm looking forward to building out a collection of minis painted by her.The dragon is being saved as a prize for my daughter to paint. Not sure what the scenario will be for her, but I know she's excited to get the big dragon at some point.

This set would have been perfect when I was first playing d&d with my friends, the models are good quality sculpts and durableCan't wait to get them painted

going to use these this weekend in an online D & D session. Good value and selection.

Great gift with great price for a friend.
