Iconic Heroes Set #1 Final Photos (Part 2)!

Love the Iconics, but soooooo ready for some new spoilers.

Here's a fun story about these new minis. Erik brought them over for all the designers to see, and in his explanation, I got my wires crossed on which one of the two I was holding Erik said was the new one. The new ones were so much more awesome, that I felt the need to point out all the things I liked better about what I thought was the old one. Given that there would clearly be pressure, if anything, to like the new one, hopefully that should be good evidence that these are equally pretty when you see them for real. It was for me!

Please tell me you managed to include some creatures from the Plant type in one of the next two sets. I'm willing to wait it out and be surprised at which one/s. I'm just dying to get some new plant types. And some more fey would be nice.

As for these Iconics, I'm already sold. I'll buy at least one of them, probably two.

I'll definitely be buying two of these. What I'd really like would be a subscription option to just this line; while I have bought a couple of full cases of miniatures, most of the time I only buy selected figures.

Soooooooooooooooon!

These are really awesome!

Do we get a spoiler about the PACG cards too ? Are there any special rules for them, or we simply shuffle the 6 new cards into the boon decks?

I'm definitely excited about these iconic packs, but are we focusing on them so much because the next set info isn't supposed to be public yet? I do like these, but I'm a bit tired of them (just because it's been all we've gotten for months.)

Yes. WizKids has not yet solicited the next set, so I can't talk about it. The situation should resolve itself shortly.

First release in 2016?

I like the saddled animal companion - it would be great to see a large "big cat" with a saddle for all the medium size heroes!

What self respecting cat will show itself wearing a saddle?

First release in 2016?

Yes, I'm working on the setlist for a set that will not release until probably March or April of 2016.

These things take a looooong time. :)

Does this mean that beyond the Iconic Heroes Set, there will be no releases in 2015? :(

"I've seen paint masters for the next full set (which should be announced imminently) and digital sculpts for the set after that. I'm currently putting together a set list for the first release in 2016."

So it looks like there are 2 sets releasing in 2015

Right. Two full sets in 2015 plus at least 6 Iconic Heroes boxed sets.

Thanks for the info Erik. I figured the hold up wasn't on your side. You've always been as forthcoming as you could :D

So, maybe both Adventure Paths for 2015 will have miniatures? Anyways, look forward to all of the Iconic Heroes boxed sets!

They are finished figures representative of what the actual product will look like when it hits stores and subscribers in January.

I'm confused by this, because Liz Courts stated that these sets would not be a part of the subscription. Did that change?

They're not part of the subscription, but subscribers get their usual subscription discount applied to them.

These are really awesome!

I'm not quite sure what the situation for previewing the cards themselves is, but there *is* a new rule:

If you are playing the character listed as the owner of a card, you may use that card when you build your character deck. Otherwise, add it to the box anytime after you add the first Adventure Deck of an Adventure Path.

For example, there's a Droogami ally card that lists Lini as the owner. If you're playing Lini, you can choose Droogami as one of your starting allies. If nobody's playing Lini, you'll have to wait until you start the first chapter of an Adventure Path to put Droogami in the box... and if you want her in your deck, you'll have to encounter and acquire her first.

The first six Iconic Heroes sets contain a total of 37 cards. 36 of them list owners.

Wait a second....that is one more total cards than cards that list owners!

I cannot remember if this has been answered or not, but will we be seeing less iconics in full sets because of the Iconic Heroes boxed sets?

Where I do love and appreciate my iconic heroes, I actually would like to see less in full sets as they will have their own boxed sets now and less of them in full sets would allow for more monsters/NPC townsfolk/etc. Not asking to stop iconics completely in full sets, but I certainly would be ok in seeing less of them. Especially considering the number of (unique) slots in a full set has been reduced now.

I have to admit, for some reason it bugs me that they sculpted Seelah as a lefty this time and her original figure was a right handed figure. I still like this one quite a bit. She just looks like she is righteous might incarnate.
