Summary: The hill giant is the star of this set.
Review: ... this set contains 3 figures: a hill giant, orc berzerker and goblin scout. The giant is the best of the set and comes in 8 pieces including a nifty skull club, and took some JB weld and modelling putty for me to prepare for painting. It is only 3 inches tall, but hunched over and in midstep. There was a casting bubble on the upper right lip which I had to fill in, but otherwise no defects in the set. The orc has a sort of goofy face, but a large axe so I can get over it. The goblin is holding an interesting jawbone crossbow and has a nice look of concentration. Overall it's a good set with nice detail, but a bit expensive for only 3 minis.

Summary: Not even in the same ball park as Ral Partha Miniatures
Review: First I must say I started Painting miniatures in the late 80s, so it is not like I am new to this or that I am from the great old days of miniatures for war games before Gary and his friends creating D&D. And I have taken a few years off from purchasing miniatures. But after buying some Partha miniatures from ironwindmetals and then these wotc I must say wotc has not impressed me. While the plastic bases have never been my thing at least the parth ones made in the late 90s fit into their bases correct these wotc miniatures are either way to small or a few are so fat that I thought about getting out a grinder instead of a file. While the flash was excessive on a few it really is easy to remove so I would not complain to wotc about it. But hear this wotc if you can't even ship a Mialee figure in the box like the art work on the back and the displacer beast comes cut in halves that don't come together even close and the ogre's arm won't fit into its socket and I get an extra nameless drow but no halfdragon mage to name just a few problems you need to fix something or you deserve less than one star!

Summary: Pretty good miniature, actually.
Review: I recommend this set, the minis aren't bad at all--in fact, they exceeded my expectations by a wide margin. The figures are well designed and have fairly intricate detail. The set I received had almost no flash whatsoever. I've been dealing with miniatures since 1983 and have seen much worse at a higher price.
