Title: Review of the Otherworld Adventures extras!
Post by: Erny on 02 April 2013, 09:12:15 AM: Hello all. Being in the fortunate position of living just round the corner from Otherworld HQ I was able to pick up the first two Adventurer boxed sets and the so far released extras on Thursday. I've done a review of those extras on my blog here:

Some things are already available in the webstore.
The firts two character boxes are available as sets and as individual blisters.

I have ordered Assasin, Cleric, Magic User version 2 (who looks like Merlin from Excalibur) and thief variant 2 already.
I will get some other stuff as they become available.

That said, I've occasionally spent more (£5+ a figure) on some desirable bit of ebay tat, and I didn't get 20 Euros' worth of snazzy case to keep it in, either. The prices compare reasonably with other boutique lines such as RBG, which are also lovely but pricey this side of the pond.

Oh and Erny, nice look at the familiars! I didn't get them at my level, but they are very nice.

I like the otherworld stuff, I buy a voucher and then spend that as it saves a good amount of cash. The armoured undead of there's are some of the best around.
