WizKids is, uh, having a bit of a moment right now. You know how sometimes things just don’t go as planned? Well, they offered this Baldur’s Gate 3 miniature set—$50 for these pre-painted guys, right? And fans, oh boy, they were not thrilled. The paint jobs, if you could call them that, were apparently kinda off. Like, customers posted these photos, and yeah, not the best.
So, WizKids put out a statement, which was sorta a “we’re sorry but not sorry” vibe? They went on about how they want to make stuff that boosts game vibes or whatever, but they “missed the mark.” I guess if you bought it from them directly, you can plea for a refund. It’s like, go email their customer service. But if you grabbed it from your neighborhood store, that’s your refund spot. There’s even a switcheroo option on their site if you feel lucky.
Folks are sharing these hilariously melty-face minis online. Some artist from Larian Studios, who’s probably having a “why me” moment, posted about the shocker too. Like, picture expecting a detailed character, and boom, you get… well, no head for Shadowheart? Yeah.
And okay, I guess collecting stuff like this is kinda a niche thing, so folks were expecting these cool pieces from the game. Seven figurines for fifty bucks isn’t bank-breaking, but come on. Even people with, let’s say, realistic expectations were scratching their heads. But hey, maybe these blobby hunks of plastic will be those quirky collectibles everyone secretly wants? Errors can sometimes get that weird value jump—go figure. So with folks scrambling for refunds and swaps, maybe this mess turns into gold for someone down the line. Who knew?
