I'm curious to learn more about the D&D MiniMates -- these were some of my all-time favorites, and the packaging was just perfect. I was very sad to miss out on the last wave -- it looked amazing.
Zach mentioned at one point that there had been discussion about developing D&D themed "blanks" or generic singles for role players to use in their character creation and campaign building. I feel like this could have been pretty cool, given that gamers are already in the practice of painting miniatures to represent their characters, and this would have been a much more dynamic solution for them.
Were any designs ever worked up, or did this idea never move past the spitballing phase?
