it's "polymer" according to their site.
The prices of yesterday. The quality of today!
Amazing Detail. Amazing Price.
Twenty years ago, you could go into a gaming store with a couple of bills and come out with a handful of minis. Not so much today. But today's quality is far superior to those figures of the past. Reaper's Bones meet that sweet spot where low price intersects with incredible detail. All the fiddly bits you love to paint are there at prices that will astound you.
Ready to Paint
Out of the box, these incredible figures take paint without priming. Our Master Series Paints cover these models perfectly right out of the bottle, and the paint sticks -- standing up to most sorts of tabletop abuse your friday night group would be able to dish out.
Perfect for Hobbyists and Gamers
Need to reposition an arm? You have your eye on one of the shields in our conversion packs? Grab some snips and modeling glue and go nuts. Bones' polymer material reacts beautifully with cyanoacrylate adhesives. Conversions and weapon swaps take about as long as your glue takes to dry.
The first wave
not sure about quality of details, but prices are really low. they definitely aim at gamers

I like the concept and yes there's probably an audience for this.
I know a guy who uses and paints those old HeroQuest like figures for gaming. Real gamers don't bother that much about quality.

Reaper says the quality of details is there, but it's hard to say anything more seeing just those snow white products only...
these are all old sculpts btw, I'd love to see comparison pic with an old metal cast and new polymer one.

Ooh, I wasn't sure how I felt about them until I saw those prices. 6 Kobolds for 3.50? Congrats, Reaper, you're now going to be the mainstay of my collection of minis to use for D&D.

For me personally Reaper doesn't have the quality I seek in miniatures and even cheap prices like they now have are going to take that away. For some it doesn't matter so they are lucky.
I do however wonder if cheap prices like that are really good for the market and not have the danger of undermining. Like it or not but those prices have been build up for a reason, we are not in the eighties anymore... Of course this does not count for some companies who are pricing their minis too high (GW+ some other) but if Reaper who is a decent player in the mini market goes this low I fear that many of the smaller companies who have seen birth in the last decade will be struggling, which many enough already are as it is!

Wonder if these will be 1,5$ each as well.
