Still loving these guys! Any chance you could make the huge black dragon photo, well, more huge? I'd love to get a better look at the detailing on that guy. :)
I am very pleased that the final release pictures for every miniature seem to be better than the initial glimpses we got. The most profound improvement has to be the Giant Rat. I can't wait to get a set in my hands to truly appreciate the detail put into each and every one!
On a seperate issue, is the Half-Orc Barbarian Uncommon or Rare? I'm getting mixed messages here.

There's a dedicated paint step for the tongue? Are we actually getting that color?

Thanks Ross! Much awesomeness. :)
The huge black dragon is fabulous! It makes me anticipate the white one coming in Rise of the Runelords even more! How is you guys are causing me to replace a lot of minis I already own? You must be doing something right! Keep it up. I'm already starting to tuck away funds for June...
The black dragon looks great. Looking forward to seeing the final images of this set before its shipped.

I'm not sure if this is a blog question or an "ask James Jacobs" question but on an Depends incontinence scale of 1 to 10, with 1 being bad night at the movie theater with old pop corn and stale corn butter and 10 being so sick from eating unknown animal parts from a questionable three wheeled side cart in Bankok after a bender with my boys to stave off hunger because I did hallucinogens from Amsterdam that were smuggled in the pants of a Somoan percussionist - just how much “poop my pantaloons" or “brown my britches" are we talking here?
I try to keep my soiling jeans ready for those times.

I answered this on the other thread... but I'll repeat it here.
8.6 on the Britches Browning Scale.

is there a way you could get a photo of all of the minis together so that way we could see how huge the "Huge Black Dragon" looks next to the other ones?
Taking the pics from the blog and the dragon pic Ross generously provided, and assuming the bases on the vampire, troll and dragon are 1", 2" and 3" respectively, you can assemble a picture that approximates the scaling.
I have done so, but I'm not sure if posting the pic is against community use. I won't do so until I get an ok.
Is that permitted?
Nah, we'll just take a picture and post it next week. A complete set shot is a great idea.
Moving forward, could we have easy access to the highest-resolution photographs that you have the capability to give us? I understand the need for smaller pictures, especially thumbnails, but sometimes I am willing to spend the time to download detailed pictures.

WizKids has recommended that we not post extremely high-res images of the minis, as they really don't do the actual product any justice.

To be fair, while I agree with what they're saying in theory, low-res web photos do them far less justice. When I got my Heroes of Battle set, there was a lot of "oh, THAT's what that cluster of four pixels were!"
Maybe there's a happy medium?
On the other hand, I have photographed some minis that I hand-painted that I was exceptionally proud of. The photos made me cringe, exposing every flaw, regardless of how invisible it was at normal scale.

Yep, that's the problem. If we were able to have a professional photographer spend hours on each minis shoot, we'd probably be able to show them a bit bigger, but that's not in the cards right now.
I'd rather have you pleasantly surprised by the details in the real mini than have you turned off by flaws that you wouldn't perceive in the actual product.

I can understand not posting hi-res versions of the computer renders, or of the intermediate steps, or macro shots, or exceptionally bad photography. But I can't believe that shots like the two ~1000x600 ones linked above do anything but justice to the work.
I'm already going to use my jewler's goggles to inspect every last one of them. I am going to find flaws in them: paint overruns, visible mold marks, seams, and the other unavoidable aspects of dealing with a matter. I obsess too much over the minis I paint myself to do any less over yours.
Have the mini's arrived at the warehouse, when should I expect them to ship?

We've been shipping to subscribers all week... but note that if you have a regular Paizo sub in addition to your Battles sub, and you've set your shipping preference to "Hold For Monthly Shipment," then we're holding your minis to go out with the other stuff in a couple of weeks. If you need more info on that, please consult this thread.
(We did send emails to subscribers explaining all this... have you checked your spam filter?)

Understood. I'm obsessive about things as well; campaign backstory comes to mind.
But you do understand that publishing hi-res pictures that make obvious flaws that would only be visible via a jeweler's loupe kind of forces that sort of obsession on everyone, right?
Just saying :)
