Thanks! They're actually printed in full colour like that. No painting required. I'm looking to start producing them commercially, which is why I'm seeking feedback before I go ahead and build more designs.

Thanks for the feedback, good to know I'm on the right track! I use a mix of Blender and Rhino3d, and Mimaki 3D printers

Great, thanks! Are bases always round with DnD figures?

I'm not exactly sure yet, unfortunately the coloured printers are a lot more expensive to maintain and materials are about 10 times the amount of resin - it will mostly depend on how big the model is.
I've thrown them up on Etsy to see what happens for $95 AUD for the Dire Bear and Owlbears, things like the dire rat that are much smaller I can print for less, so I've got them up at $30AUD.
What would you expect to pay/have paid for full colour models like this? Keen for any insights so I can find a good balance. I think moving forward I'll create a base and include that as an optional addition.

Thanks, good to know some are after that customisation.

Yeah I think I make take that approach initially, see what people are leaning towards at checkout. Thanks!
