D&D Hero Miniatures

[Arnu]

Wizards have recently released 6 packs of miniatures each has 3 figures and 3 power cards (with exclusive powers).

The figures are of generally quite good quality (except the Primal pack which is a bit of a let down),  The best is the Dwarf Rogue from Martial Heroes 2

The sets are nice for what they are but the are a little over priced and could of had more in the box than just three figures and three cards.

Martial Heroes 1
1/18 - Male Human Fighter (Not a bad figure but not great - looks more elven than human)
2/18 - Female Dragonbore Rogue (Nice to see a Drgonborn figure shame it's the only one in the set)
