DRUNK'N DRAGON DND Guards Minis 25 Fantasy Miniatures for Tabletop/Dungeons and Dragons Roleplaying Games - Bulk Minis Unpainted- Figures Starter Set

My kids wanted to get some miniatures to try painting, and this looked like a good set to let them start learning how. The box includes 5 copies of each figure: half-orc with axe, dwarf with hammer, crossbowman, swordsman and spearman. Pros: The detail is fair, and the poses look good. Although the figures are somewhat generic, this helps make them useful for many RPG settings. The plastic seems sturdy yet flexible enough that the pieces shouldn't break off. None of my figures had any issues with leaning. The half-orc's axes were straight, and all of the crossbows looked fine. Most of the dwarf hammers were straight. Despite the thin dimension, most of the swords were also straight. Cons: Each figure has some mold lines, but those should be easy to trim or sand off before painting. A couple of the dwarf hammers had a slight bend in the shaft, and a couple of the swords were slightly bent as well. Every spear was bent. Hot water should be able to straighten out the weapons. Other thoughts: Although I own several metal miniatures, very few of them have crossbows, so I was happy to add some crossbowmen to my collection. The head on the spears looks somewhat like a glaive (another weapon sorely lacking among my metal figures), so those figures can potentially serve as glaive-wielders instead of spearmen if desired. Conclusion: At just over $1 per mini, the price is very reasonable for what this set includes. Although the figures aren't perfect, the mold lines and bent weapons are fixable issues. I would probably rate this 4.5 stars, but since that's not an option I'm rounding it up to 5. I hope to see more miniature sets like this from Drunk'n Dragon in the future.

This is a good set and if you don't care about details these are great. I have fun painting detailed and not detailed minis. I will say some of them do not look very nice (goblin a hand looks really bad), but with a good paint job or if you add clay or something you can easily make these work great for you. I did have fun working with these and they are very cheap so I didn't expect them to be amazing. I do say to get them and just work with them, unless you have a hard time with mini that are not detailed and need a bit of work.

The quality is great. And the details are just enough to make them interesting, without making them hard to paint. And the mold lines are even placed in places that make removal optional. You can never have too many guards, but I especially like the dwarf and orc. Overall, great product and I will certainly be buying more in the future.

The figures arrived packaged together in a baggie inside a small box. I got exactly what was advertised, 5 each Half-Orcs, Dwarves, Swordsmen, Crossbowmen, and Spearmen. For just over a buck-a-piece, these are a fantastic value with quality material and good details. None of my figures arrived broken, but 4/5 of the spearmen's spears are really bent and one of the crossbowmen is standing with a dramatic lean-back. I might try warming the figures in hot water and see if they can be straightened. I may not bother since these are just meant for generic NPCs anyway. If I do, I'll update with the results. See attached pictures which include a ruler and painted Hero Forge figure for scale.

It was a perfect figure that cried out to be painted.

I bought this set of minis on a whim due to the price. And I gotta say for the quality and quantity of the minis it’s hard to top the price. 25 minis for about $30 is a great deal. Now the minis themselves aren’t quite as detailed as major brands like Reaper or WizKids but they still have a pretty decent amount of detail on them. I think having less details would make them great for beginning painters so if any who read this review are beginners and want a nice set of minis for an affordable price, this is well worth it. Or if you’re a more experienced painter, they still make for a good set of NPCs for your campaign rather you need town guards, soldiers, bandits or what have you. I really enjoyed painting these and am excited to put them into play for my campaign. I am also looking forward to seeing more sets by this brand and will gladly support the company as it expands with more minis.

My DM absolutely loved these! He loved having a bunch of extra little guys for our games and they are of really nice quality so they at least stand up to a bunch of rowdy teens. A couple were a little bit bent but nothing that couldn’t be fixed by my friend who also painted them and they have just enough detail to look awesome when painted too!

One of my half orc guards is missing an arm. Other than that, nice set.
