Choosing RPG miniatures & terrain starts with one practical question: does your table need a varied fantasy cast, repeated enemies for encounters, or tokens and cards instead of sculpted figures? The four options here cover those different play styles, so the right choice depends more on format and character mix than on piece count alone.
Quick take
- For painting a varied fantasy cast: 40 Highly Detailed Fantasy Miniatures - Unpainted D&D Role Play Figures.

- For a broad fantasy roster: The Realm Set - 195 minis - Heroes, Monsters, NPC Characters for DND Miniatures.

Decision matrix
- Painting: The first two sets explicitly say unpainted. The Realm Set is assembled and unprimed, while the Starter Set centers on tokens and cards.
- Encounter mix: The Skeletons & Goblins lot names a focused enemy pairing. The Realm Set names heroes, monsters, and NPC characters. The 40 Highly Detailed set uses a broader fantasy-creatures-and-characters mix.
- Scale: The first three miniature sets state 28mm scale in their titles or descriptions. The Starter Set is identified by its token-and-card format instead.
- Campaign role: Pick a sculpted-figure set for painted characters or physical encounter pieces; choose the Starter Set when its D&D tokens and cards match the way you want to represent play.
Product notes
40 Highly Detailed Fantasy Miniatures - Unpainted D&D Role Play Figures
At USD 41.58, this set suits a painter who wants a varied fantasy cast rather than a focused enemy bundle. It includes 40 unpainted role-play figures, with 10 unique designs and true 28mm scale for use with 1-inch grid battle mats. Dark-grey and light-grey color variations are specified for each design, and the character mix covers fantasy creatures and characters. Those details make it a practical choice for customization, NPC representation, or player-character use. The limitation is clear: the figures are unpainted, so painting and finishing remain part of the project. The set also does not name a specific encounter roster such as skeletons and goblins.
40PCS D&D Miniatures Lot Skeletons & Goblins 28mm Unpainted Resin Figures RPG
At USD 34.99, this lot is directed at encounter building around two named enemy types. The package contains 20 skeleton miniatures and 20 goblin miniatures, with varied poses and styles, 28mm scale, round bases, and gray ABS-like resin. That makes it a straightforward choice for a game master who wants repeated figures for battles, army-building scenes, or miniature-painting projects. The concrete limitation is its defined skeleton-and-goblin mix, rather than the heroes, monsters, and NPC wording used by The Realm Set. The figures are also unpainted, so the visual finish depends on the buyer's own painting work rather than arriving as colored miniatures.
The Realm Set - 195 minis - Heroes, Monsters, NPC Characters for DND Miniatures
At USD 69.50, The Realm Set is built around a large fantasy cast in one package. It includes 195 minis from Class Encounters II, Mercenary Guild II, and five NPC figures, with heroes, animals, beasts, minions, and bosses represented across the set. The minis are 28mm scale, hard plastic, assembled, and unprimed. Choose it for a campaign that needs several kinds of fantasy characters without focusing on one enemy pairing. The limitation is painting preparation: the figures are unprimed, and primer is recommended before painting. Because they are assembled, this set is oriented toward painting and play rather than an assembly-focused hobby project.
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS Fantasy Roleplaying Game Starter Set Tokens & Cards unpunched
At USD 45.00, this Starter Set is the clear format alternative to the sculpted miniature bundles. Its title centers on tokens and cards, and the cards and tokens remain on punch cards while the books are described as crisp. That gives it a concrete reason to choose when the D&D starter-set experience and flat game components are the goal. The limitation is format: it does not serve the same sculpted-figure role as the three miniature sets. The box has a little wear from storage, although its corners are intact and its colors are described as unfaded. The listed age guidance is 12 and up.
Final recommendation by use case
- Choose 40 Highly Detailed Fantasy Miniatures for customization across a varied fantasy cast, especially if true 28mm figures and 10 unique designs fit your painting plans.
- Choose the Skeletons & Goblins lot for repeated encounters built around those two enemy types and an unpainted resin hobby project.
- Choose The Realm Set when heroes, monsters, NPC characters, animals, beasts, minions, and bosses all need representation in one fantasy-focused collection.
- Choose the D&D Starter Set Tokens & Cards when tokens, cards, and books are more useful to your session than sculpted miniatures.
