If you’ve ever wanted to bring your mini versions of your Baldur’s Gate 3 squad to life on the tabletop, now’s your chance—but it’s gonna cost you. You can purchase a full set of six origin characters plus the mysterious Withers For $50.
Sure, you could buy groceries, but wouldn’t you rather own a tiny little Lae’zel?
WizKids (The Company behind these official D&D miniatures) In addition to that $50 character pack, they’ve offering $25 booster packs, featuring a random selection from 40 miniatures.
WizKids’ been making “Icons of the Realms” miniatures for various D&D settings for a while now, including Descent into Avernus (which ties into BG3) and Planescape (the wonderfully weird 5e revival).
If you’re a fan of what they’ve done before, you’ll probably be itching to get your hands on these.
These minis drop in February 2025, and pre-orders are already open on WizKids’ website.
They will also offer $200 “brick” of eight booster packs.
Just don’t expect to find individual booster packs available for pre-order—they’re keeping that under wraps for now.
So here’s where I’m torn.
On one hand, I’ve been into D&D minis since the days when Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights were blowing my teenage mind.
If you’d told me back then that there would be miniatures based on these games, I would’ve lost my mind!
Maybe if you’re deep into Magic: The Gathering or Warhammer, this is just part of the deal, but for me? I’m cringing a little at the sticker shock.
But here is pro tip – If you’re not married to the official stuff, and fine with alternative shops, there’s a whole world of alternatives. Etsy, AliExpress, and smaller companies churn out some awesome, durable miniatures that look great and don’t hit your wallet as hard.
So, if you’re willing to branch out a bit, you might find some gems that fit your budget.
This whole launch probably would’ve packed more of a punch if it had dropped alongside the game’s release.
I mean, it’s been a year and a half—feels like they missed the hype train.
But hey, even Larian Studios didn’t expect Baldur’s Gate 3 to be this much of a runaway hit, so I can’t really blame Wizards for not being totally prepared.
