Nice kit
Loved the idea of thisExecution of product seemed goodAdvise not ordering in really hot summer. I think the travel/transit in hot conditions warped/curled them a bit. Not bad enough to not use/enjoyJust noticeable

Great for tabletop gaming
I use these to great effect in my Five Parsecs From Home campaign. If the bases weren’t made of such sharp brittle plastic and the figures weren’t prone to ripping when removing from the sheet, I’d give it 5 stars.

Great customer service and product
Great tool for creating immersive DnD experience. Easier to store and move than traditional minis. Had issues with the manufacturer but the seller was able to correct it promptly with great communication. HIGHLY recommended

Very good
Excellent bang for your buck, the set has a lot of stuff in it and most of it is great. Some common beasts and monsters for beginner campaigns, a nice assortment of humanoids that can be used as PC minis. They are very thin and easy to store, I have mine in a cheap plastic case I got a walmart thats for keeping beads/jewelry separated.There are a few trade offs though. The minis aren't always easy to remove from the page, sometimes requiring a bit of force or a hobby knife to free them. It's a bit risky as I had both a knife slip out of the groove while cutting and the plastic catch while trying to push another out. It wasn't very common but it happened ona few and should be known about so you can be careful with it. Another issue is that stands are a bit tricky to use, assembling the flying stands was a bit hard since I was afraid I'd break part of it and normal stands have a whole that's a bit oddly shaped making it a little tricky to get the figure inside of it.Over all the good far outways the bad, which is mostly just mild nitpicks so I highly recommend it.

Mine were very hard to punch out
The tokens are awesome. Beautiful artwork and very sturdy. I'd prefer miniatures, but with the large number included in the set and not having to paint them, it's an awesome value. I gave it four stars because mine were very hard to punch out...like stupid hard. I probably spent an hour and a half at least punching them out and even having to use a razor blade to cut through the perforations on a lot of them. I glanced through other reviews and didn't see any other complaints about this, so mine were probably a production anomaly, but nonetheless it was a real pain in the butt.

A nice product ... that deserves criticism
I purchased Mankind, Mankind Horde, the Grove, and the DM Starter. I have a few hundred actual miniatures already, and I sometimes paint a few here and there. Nevertheless, the ability to have nicely detailed and colorful miniature substitute is most welcome. The killer feature is that you can store these easily in an incredibly compact form. If I run a game at a friend's house, a little storage book takes care of most of my needs. As an aside, I tried several storage options, but the Mini American Flexxfoio (thank you Amazon!) works the best. Getting back to Arcknight: there are strong positives to this product line. All is not perfect, however.Minor criticisms. A couple of my sheets were printed off center so that the image, when removed from the print sheet, gets cut off in small but irritating ways. Removal from the print sheets was hit and miss. Sometimes it worked easily. Other times it was too much effort. And a few times I damaged the mini in this process.Major criticism. I think film Birth of a Nation had more diverse Clansmen than this set. The absence of people of color is conspicuous, to the extent that it must have been a purposeful decision. I decided to attach a picture of the most diverse subgroup my collection: the human fighters. If you look at my photo, I have 36 Caucasian fighters and two characters that are, arguably, non-Caucasians. And the other subsets are worse. I count 30 civilians, all white. Nearly every woman warrior or every elf warrior of either gender is white, except for a few Drow elves, but then that comes with it's own issues with anyone that knows D&D. And of course the king is white.It's a free country and someone can make fantasy products that scarcely recreate more than the British Isles of 500 years ago. But some consumers might decide to take a pass. I felt that one review should point this fact out, so at least people know what they are buying. As for me, I'll keep and use the set I have. But every time I take it out, I'll tell everyone at my table to please overlook the racism.

Very flimsy
These are not thick, nor sturdy plastic. They are very thin and light plastic sheets. Paper standies are actually far better than these things. Additionally, the Deadlands ones I received have the front face image on both sides. There really is very little value here for the price, and the very poor descriptions of what you are getting are probably by design. I'm glad I didn't buy the other sets I was looking at.

just so good
Having bought so many different minis and scenery over the years these are just so fun and cool, they take up less space, look AMAZING, and are just so well done, and super fun to take out of their sprues for those who care about that.
