A great set of paper minis. The art is pretty good, has a real comic book feel. Though some of the female characters are a little bit out of proportion. Overall a great value, and printable in color and black and white to save ink or color yourself.

This product is actually three separate PDF files zipped together: a full-color three-page "cover"; a 16-page black-&-white set of figures; and a four-page full-color set of figures. The black-&-white PDF has 15 pages (!) of figures, plus the one extra page for the instructions.
<br><br> <b>LIKED</b>: I like that the "cover" is separate and apart from the actual figures. I also like that there are two sets of figures: one in full-color; another in black-&-white.
<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: I wish the instructions had been taken out of the black-&-white PDF set of figures, and put into the "cover" document instead. Better yet, make the one-page instruction a separate document entirely, available (if needed) as a freebie; I don't know too many gamers who are into cardstock stand-ups who don't already know how to cut, fold, and assemble this type of figure anyway.
<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Very Satisfied<br>

Beautiful artwork, and significantly fewer figs that I'd consider inappropriate for the kids.

The set is very heavy with supers (well over half), with fewer options for pure modern or modern gothic storytelling games. Although there are multiple cultists, gangsters, and soldiers, there is a distinct lack of police (Three in the set, only one of which is in the color set, vs. all five of the soldiers).<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: As with Fantasy, these figures have fully detailed backs rather than the silhouettes common in other products. Lots of inspiration for new characters.<br><br><b>DISLIKED</b>: With quality artwork like this, the only thing I didn't like is my own lack of painting skills.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Very Good<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

This set has quite a few useful and inspiring figures, the artwork is good, and it prints up pretty well in black and white, with only slight blurring; the only issues I see with it are: about twenty truly useless figures, there's only one male police officer and he looks like something right off the cover of a romance novel, and there really are not any good thug pictures, instead there are a bunch of disproprtionate high school girls who, like most real teenage girls, serve no real purpose beyond simple eye candy.<br><br><b>LIKED</b>: The number of mini's you get, even with the useless ones, makes it a good value if you plan to you plan to print them in black and white, and its nice to see that the artist actually drew backs, instead of the lame faded outline others use.<br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

One the one hand you get lots of figures. On the other hand a number of them are truly crappy or else print incredibly lightly. I you really want paper minis for this period, then it is a decent value. <br><br><b>QUALITY</b>: Acceptable<br><br><b>VALUE</b>: Satisfied<br>

Much cheaper than miniatures, and they work quite well. The artwork is decent, though nothing to write home about. Make sure you use heavy cardstock, though. Light stuff tends to be hard to use in actual gameplay, since it gets knocked down a lot -- I'd recommend 110 lb.

Another great set from this company. Great artwork is as good as you would see anywhere.Lots of nice stuff for any game.

A great assortment of figures. I was able to fund appropriate art for pretty much everything I needed in my Mutants and Masterminds game. I just wish more were in color like the Sci-Fi set.

Superb, and a great value! This is a must for any modern, sci-fi, or superhero gamer. You get 261 figs, plus 71 of those are in color as well as th eblack and white. Of course, my preference would be that all figs be in black and white AND color. But this is truly an embarassment to the other paper minis companies--these guys give us what we want in volume, with equal or better quality, and at a great price. I will be watching these superstars very, very closely. Along with Worldworks, these guys are my favorite games-accessory company.

I just couldn't find miniatures to make my gaming group happy because modern minis aren't really out there. This purchase did it all!!!!!!

What's good? - very nice artwork, even blown up to full screen there's very little pixellation on the figures. In black and white there is a massive selection, mostly superheroes, slightly fewer generic modern figures (many of which have a slightly Buffyesque feel to them), and a smattering of gangsters, cowboys and anime "magical girls" You could quite easily run a superhero game with these figures alone, and combined with the Fantasy pack could easily handle D20 Modern Urban Arcana or Shadow Chasers game. The colour selection is a reasonable sampler of the B&W set - probably enough variety there to do a supers game. One very nice touch is that the cultist figures have been done in four different colours, handy if you want to portray cult-on-cult action.

What's bad? - erm........ erm....... Not much really. Like the Fantasy set these are scaled significantly larger than the standard Microtactix/Cardboard Heroes size, so if you're planning to mix these you'll need to do some scaling work. One criticism I had with the fantasy figures was that some of the female figures were a little... no make that a LOT on the top heavy side, comically so in my mind. But these figures are better. Some of the female supers are still a bit cheesecake, but that's entirely in keeping with the genre, and at least all these girls look like they'd be able to stand upright without support.

If you're running a supers game, then this pack is a must-buy. If you're running other modern games, then you're probably going to find about half these figures useful. Also consider whether you'll be happy using B&W figures or whether you're prepared to put in a little work colourising the B&W figs, and if you want to combine these with other paperfigs whether you're prepared to spend time scaling these down. These figures are so good I'm doing both (colourising and scaling) and so I think this set was well worth the money.

What a great set of printable standups. This guy's art is fantastic!
