Blacklist Miniatures – Fantasy Series 1 – Review
Introduction
This isn’t a big in depth review of the miniatures as I’m not very good at being critical, but I wanted to share my thoughts on the miniatures as I’m super pleased with them.
tldr; the Blacklist Miniatures Fantasy Series 1 have exceeded my expectations.
I plan to use the miniatures for a board game design project and for this they are perfect.
Thoughts on the Kickstarter
I’ve taken part in a few kickstarter campaigns, and I think this one was the best. Having received the end product, I am pretty pleased with how well what was advertised in the kickstarter matches up with that I actually got.
Excellent Communication Throughout
Blacklist Miniatures did an outstanding job of keeping backers informed throughout the fulfilment process – with over 60 updates going out. This was particually significant when the there were big delays while containers were sought after in China – this was all well oustide of Blacklist Miniatures control but they kept us backers well informed of what was happening and what to expect.
First Impressions
I was really impressed withe the presentation of all the minis in the 2 boxes. They fit well into their assign places in the plastic trays, with each tray layer protected by a plastic lid.
Obviously more important than the presentation, I was also impressed with the quality of the miniatures. They looked amazing.
Value for money
Overall I’d say that the biggest win here is I got 200+ miniatures for $88 (£62 in proper money 😀). This breaksdown as $65 for the miniatures and the rest shipping.
Considering the number of miniatures, the quality, the feel good factor from the nice presentation, I see this as seriously good value for money.
Closer Inspection
Some of the minis have quite a few mould lines to remove, and there are a number of slightly warped bases, but nothing out of the ordinary. Compared to some other minis i’ve come across in the last couple of years, I don’t see any of the production defects as anything to write home about.
I’ll update this post after I’ve painted a bunch of them to see if I steel feel the same.
