The problem with most of these is cost.  HeroForge is the biggest transgressor; I am not paying 25 pounds (around USD40, I think) for one miniature.  Yeah, it's a custom mini, but I am not made of money. 
I think the key with Hero Forge is that its not for a bunch of generic NPCs.
Its for your favorite PC that no other mini has ever looked quite like.
The character you've been playing for 5-10 years that you have every stat memorized on & have loads of stories about this time or that.
I read something from their designers & that kind of thing is what made them decide to do what they do.

Hokay the replacement heroforge miniature arrived today.
Looking scaled better, here he is primed and based.

I think those vents must be blowing his duster up, a la Marilyn Monroe?

I'll post more once he's painted.

Very nice, actually.  I think the quality on the faces and other little details is better than I was expecting, but not as good as the model on the website.  That's to be expected though, especially depending on how much primer was used, the weight of the paints, etc.
Feel free to keep any karma you earned illicitly, it's on us.

here's a few shots of the wip.
Despite careful handling I managed to drop it today and he broke at the ankles.
A spot of superglue and back in business but does validate what others have been saying about the durability.
Detail and surface finish is not too bad but not as crisp or smooth as a modern metal or injection molded plastic miniature.
Some areas have better detail than others, the small automatic in his left hand has a nice silencer and the ejection port for the slide is nicely detailed along with the trigger guard and grip point at the back of the slide.
The tabi-style shoes are detailed pretty nicely too.

I really like the poses they offer, this one was the "heavy weapon" pose I think.

HeroForge has added a lot of new items allowing to come even closer to what Shadowrun characters should look like (for instance, you can now give proper ork teeth to your character).
But some of the old accessories disappeared or were updated, and as a result, I had to update my previous templates and generate some new links.
While I was at it, I created a couple of new models, for criminals and gangers.
As always, feel free to use these and modify them to fit your needs :)

I have only one problem with Hero Forge. I can't get my character to put his cane down and look like he's actually using it. I'm like "Michael, you need that cane. Put it down!"
It is better to be crazy and know it, than to be sane and have one's doubts.

Hobbes painted, not quite close up ready, but looks good on the table.  My painting muscles were sorely out of shape, been a decade or so since my 40k days.

Heroforge.  Anyone tried the lower quality materials?  I may have to give it a whirl next time.

I noticed the same thing & I found it odd that they removed some stuff.
I really liked the AK47 they had but its not available now except as a "Back" accessory.

They are a bit expensive, but some of the Fragged Empire miniatures would make perfect runners.

The FM designs are pretty sweet. I believe the casting/production was handled by Prodos (who also did the minis for the Shadowrun Chronicles KS).

A bit too post-apocalyptic for SR, but Modiphius is planning a Fallout miniature game with some pretty minis: http://www.modiphius.com/fallout.html

Any advice for vehicles and drones?
