Product Overview

I recently had the opportunity to try out the WizKids Icons of the Realms Starter Set and I am very impressed. This set is a great way to start your Dungeons and Dragons adventure, as it includes some of the most iconic character classes and races. The miniatures are pre painted in a vibrant color scheme which really brings them to life. Even though they are small, they are still quite detailed and look great on the table.

The Icons of the Realms Starter Set includes six unique miniatures which you can use with your Dungeons and Dragons Starter Set. This set comes with five returning characters from the previous version Gold Dwarf Cleric, Human Ranger, Sun Elf Wizard, Northlands Fighter, and Lightfoot Halfling Rogue as well as one new Hero for your game: Wood Elf Druid. All of these figures have all new paint designs which really bring them to life.

The miniatures are made of plastic, so they are durable and lightweight. They also have a great range of motion which allows them to be posed dynamically on your table top. The detail on each figure is excellent and they look like real characters rather than just generic figures.

The WizKids Icons of the Realms Starter Set is a great starter set for anyone who wants to get into Dungeons and Dragons or just wants to add some new characters to their existing collection. It s perfect for beginners as well as seasoned players who want to add some variety to their games. The miniatures are highly detailed yet still affordable, so you don t have to break the bank in order to get started with your adventures.

Overall, I am very pleased with this WizKids Icons of the Realms Starter Set and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for an affordable way to get into Dungeons and Dragons or build up their existing collection. The miniatures are highly detailed yet still affordable, so you can easily find something that fits your budget while still having plenty of fun with your games. Whether you re just starting out or an experienced player looking for something new, this starter set is sure to provide hours of entertainment!
