Why this title? Because Flat Plastic Miniatures 2 was founded between December 2016 and February 2017, with estimated time of arrival in December 2017. They arrived on December, but two years later! Printers breakdown, shipping problems, customs, a real odissey!
I have a simple method to avoid anxiety (and anger) from kickstarter delay: I forget what I back with time. I can’t worry about something I don’t remember and I have a real surprise when I get it!
Let’s focus on the product now. They are flat plastic miniatures to be used with roleplayng games and similar. As you can see from the pictures, they’re light, resistant, they don’t break, lose pieces, get stained and, very important, they need a little space. I had a real epiphany when I discovered them three years ago. Now that I can finally touch them with my hands I confirm they’re awesome. They’re solid, the cut is neat, they’re very colorful with a beautiful art and after I placed them in a card collector divided in groups I can say it’s very easy to carry an army of miniatures and make a choice among them withouf efforts. The bases are solit too and the flying bases, with five different elevations give great effect to the flying creatures.
These minis have been produced by Arcknight in a kickstarter but they are available at their online shop. I think they resolved their issues so you can expect some sort of puntuality for your orders.
Actually I’m waiting for another load of plastic flat miniatures from a more recent kickstarter, Skinny Minis (ETA April 2020), while there si another kickstarter project live, GTG Minis (ETA March 2020), that I back to evaluate the differences among the three productions for future orders and to give a proper comparing review.
Ok, I admit it, thuth is that’s simply my compulsive accumulation syndrome!
CONCLUSIONS
Indipendently from the delay, that everyone can evaluate as he prefers, I really like this miniatures. Their practicality and transportability will make me us them very often. I’m also curious to compare them to the other arriving next years.
