has been transformed into pre-painted miniatures by Wizkids. But the new mini's don't seem to be landing for everyone, as even one Baldur's Gate 3 developer took to social media to express frustration with the new figures.

, one of the senior cinematic artists on Baldur's Gate 3 posted a comparison. "What I ordered VS what I received," they wrote. "Only Gale has a decent face. It's expensive for a 5 years old painting work... Shame on you @Wizards_DnD"
