4.0 out of 5 stars
Surprisingly well done
WotC's past figures have generally been of mediocre quality at best and take some time to assemble (flash, ill-fitting connection points, et cetera). It seems that they've finally gotten it right with the City of the Spider Queen set. You get a decent selection of drow figures, including a cool drow ranger (it needed touching up, as the sword blade snapped off, but...

Good but kinda of mediorche
It is good that you have these mini's but I suggest that you stick to the plastic variety. For the following reasons: -The Drow Wizard's back banner doesn't fit and had to glued-on sideways -The Drow Ranger's hand snapped off and had to be glued-on. The other scimitar snapped off -Irae T'Sarran is missing a foot on my set -The...

WotC's past figures have generally been of mediocre quality at best and take some time to assemble (flash, ill-fitting connection points, et cetera). It seems that they've finally gotten it right with the City of the Spider Queen set.You get a decent selection of drow figures, including a cool drow ranger (it needed touching up, as the sword blade snapped off, but still a cool figure). Irae T'sarren makes this set a collector's piece, especially for those that own the City of the Spider Queen adventure or have a general interest in the Forgotten Realms setting. The only complaint that I have about the set (although a comparatively minor one) is that only 25mm round bases were included, a la the now-defunct Chainmail product line. I used 25mm square bases for these figures, and have a set that's good for D&D's 1 inch = 5 feet scale. Also, it seems that some of the figures were slow-cast, which results in making the metal different in texture and "thirsty" in places (that is, it absorbs paint like a sponge). But this is a general minor flaw in all the WotC figures that I have gotten so far. Perhaps if all the figures were fast-cast, the D&D miniatures line would still be alive and kicking. If you try a washing technique for the drow skin- I use a light wash of liche purple and black- this covers up virtually every flaw. Overall, the figures take some work, but are good once finished.
