In your first post you say:

They are very small!


The Blue Moon Mini's I saw so far are quite big.
Here is photo with  three minis from the London Viktorian Civilians Box and in between a Thrilling Tales Charakter from Artizan Designs as comparison.

Are the minis from the Vampire box smaller?

hey!  thanks for the photo, I've been hoping for a comparison shot for long time.  They looks much better than I thought though.  But still have to get over that hideous base.  Wonder what possessed him to do that

I realized that many people don't like the bases. Maybe they are not perfect, but in my opionen they are not to bad.
The diameter is close to a 25 mm washer as you can see on the picture above,  might be 23 mm or 24 mm, so that should work for most cases.

The upside got different designs, like gravel for wild west and copplestone or other stone structures for towns folk.

This might be a help for people who don't want to spend to much time in designing the bases.

And if you dont like the structure which come with this on casted bases, you can easily change them.
Very often people put some glue and sand on a washer design the base (as I do). You can do that here as well and you won't see the structure anymore. To be very sure you could even smooth the upside with some milliput or something before.

thanks for the scale comparsion! and you are right some of the miniatures are fine if not larger than some other miniatures, I guess the male vampire and frankenstein especially seem small and weak when they take up the same of less mass than the hunters.

I was not a big fan of the bases at first (I like uniformity and consistancy overall) but I look forward to different approaches to different textures from a painting standpoint.

VERY WELL DONE! I have the opposite take of a couple of my Fellow Forum Folk; i.e., being a fan of Van Helsing, the Vampire Hunter is tied with the Vampire as favorites of the three...the Vampires hands are very in keeping with Nosferatu chic. All three are equally BEAUTIFULLY painted however.

I hadn't noticed the dates and was just about to ask when we would see the other figures.....
