HeroClix is gone. D&D Miniatures are still available, but no new sets have come out for a few years. Is the field dead? Is it coming back? |

D&D Minis released a set last month. And six months before that. HeroClix released three(?) big sets this year, plus some other smaller packs. |

It's thriving as far as I can see. Pathfinder plus the D&D sets, plus a slew of accessory and terrain sets, including a large bridge. There is a new set just arriving in stores – Sept release date, IIRC. |

There is a company in our area that does a lot of work on Kickstarters and the new scale for fantasy and sci-fi seems to be around 36mm. In fact, Steve Jackson Games may release a fantasy set of miniatures on Kickstarter soon and the prototypes they shared seemed to be around 36mm. |

DOA in my gaming room. I saw some nice figures that could never fit in with the collection. |

Pathfinder seems to still be producing. With the development on 3D printed, and painted mini's that was featured in a recent KS, I seriously doubt it. I genuinely miss the Mage Knight mini's: never played the game, but they were a gold mine of mini's for my fantasy games! They produced a single model of Zombie Centaurs which was very decent. I've got quite a number of them, D&D pre-paints, a few Heroclix, and a lot of Pathfinder pre-painted mini's in my fantasy army collections. With the insane amount of sales occurring in the Dwarven Forge KS's, and other 3D terrain sets hitting the market place, I do not see the demand for pre-painted mini's declining. At least, I hope not… Cheers! |

The hobby is crazy alive and always growing! Pathfinder Battles collectable figures: coolstuffinc.com/page/1103 Wizkids D&D Miniatures: coolstuffinc.com/page/2689
I'm looking forward to the new Icewind Dale set coming soon. Plus the WK D&D line has been crossing over with Magic the Gathering settings. |

D&D Minis released a set last month. And six months before that. Wikipedia is wrong???  link Produced by Wizards of the Coast, the Dungeons & Dragons Miniatures line is composed of 20 loosely themed sets that were released roughly every four months since the line was launched in 2003 until its cancellation in 2011. |

Wikipedia is wrong??? From the end of that same article: In 2012, Wizards of the Coast released Dungeon Command, the successor to the D&D Miniatures skirmish game. In February 2014, Wizards of the Coast and WizKids announced that the latter would be creating a new line of D&D Miniatures. On July 15, 2014 WizKids released the first set of their new line of D&D Miniatures under the label of D&D Icons of the Realms brand.[ |

I believe that the gallery pages I linked to above show all the releases, through all the iterations, right up until the present day. |
