Nursery Tales Set

This is another in Arion Game's series of minatures, done in their recognizable 3D, computer rendered style. I'm not necessarily a huge fan of their style, but it is a known factor, so I'm didn't dock them points for it. The cover is a picture of an actual minature from this set, and one can get a good impression of the human characters in this set from the covers of other volumes in their series.

For better and for worse, Arion Games has not taken the "as close to Disney or Dreamworks as we could get without them suing" approach so many others have done. The clothing choices and coloring choices are somewhat unusual. They're all designed in the Medium size range, for Pathfinder and D&D players; if Papa Bear, the tallest, is five and a half feet tall, no one is shorter than about four and a half feet. The pigs, Puss in Boots and Rumplestiltskin come out rather too tall.

Just what I need for my daughter and a good excuse to order more ink cartridges ;o) The figures are generally well realised and scale well without pixelation, which is good because without experimenting with the scaling options the Big Bad Wolf is just about the same size as the Gingerbread man and the Little Pigs could defeat him just by leaning against him. I suggest Arion artists watch Hoodwinked and Shrek (copyright notwithstanding) and be a bit more creative.

Thanks for the review. The scaling issue is one that we encountered before with the Faerys Tale set. After much experimentation courtesy of my 3-year old, we decided to go for large "representative" figures rather than "to scale" figures. Of course, the powerpoint version allows you to easily scale either the entire figure, or just the images within the figure boxes if you prefer them to scale.
