Wolf Munroe Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 I'm not sure if Reaper has made any new metal miniatures this year. Looking at the new product list, it looks like all Bones USA stuff now. Is Reaper making any metal minis this year? When I select to browse metal miniatures or select metal material in the Figure Finder, with newest first selected, the top two rows are populated with Bones miniatures and a Reaper Virtual Expo mixing palette. All of these miniatures are tagged 'metal' but noted as Bones miniatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Inarah Posted July 7, 2021 Share Posted July 7, 2021 No, not many. A few of the RVE and Chronoscope figures were metal, as was Hollymonster and Syndra Cauvadinard. Then you have to go way back to last summer and Reapercon 2020, and some Halloween figures. The Figure Finder has been messed up for a while. If you search "male" you also get everything tagged "female" because those 4 letters are in the word. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I got piRATe which I understand, but the toilet paper mockingbeast?? Ok then. I think the search engines needs a good shake to clear out the cobwebs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abelcain Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 The figure finder is just dysfunctional and sad now. A lot of miniatures that fit the parameters don’t show up for some reason, and a lot of miniatures that don’t fit the parameters show up anyway :[ 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strawhat Posted July 10, 2021 Share Posted July 10, 2021 It's been wonky for a while. With the KS shipping and upcoming ReaperCon, I doubt it's high on a list of priorities. Anymore I just know that if I'm looking for something I'd better have a Snickers bar handy (it's going to be a while). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Munroe Posted July 12, 2021 Author Share Posted July 12, 2021 In the case of the plastic miniatures that are showing up when I searched for the metal as the material in the Figure Finder, the plastic figures literally have "metal" as one of their tags. Uh... The Bones miniature Sansavar Chung, Viceroy (#30015) is not only tagged metal, but he's also tagged 54mm. At $3.99 I doubt he's 54mm. It's like someone got a bit overzealous with the tagging. Using the Figure Finder to search "Metal" this week, I see all the same plastic figures are still showing up, but it appears three new metal catfolk miniatures have been added, so that's a nice bit of variety. (No money budgeted for minis this month, but it doesn't matter since they're all listed as out-of-stock anyway.) Also, the new metal catfolk miniatures all have little tables indicating their sizes in three dimensions, but according to the tables they're all over 65mm tall, which doesn't track with their $8 prices. So something is very off...? Somebody bothered to put dimensions but none of those could be right... But, yeah, if there's a Kickstarter happening, and an upcoming Con, I can see how it might take awhile for corrections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not out yet. Upcoming, they were suppose to be released last month, but with the delay on fulfillment, Reaper probably didn't feel like releasing them.

Super Administrators kit Posted July 20, 2021 Super Administrators Share Posted July 20, 2021 I'll take a look at it. There are a lot of hands that touch the importing of products these days, and it's possible they're not getting classified correctly.

Some really old data has been associated with that one. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolf Munroe Posted June 21, 2022 Author Share Posted June 21, 2022 Just noticed there are six new Dungeon Dwellers plastic miniatures at the top of the list of metal miniatures again. I wasn't sure exactly where to report it so just posting here again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
