unfortunately my phone cannot connect to PC for some reason, but they look similar to the painted ones, only striped of paint
but, as I said, problem isnt in paintjob/details per se, but in realistic proportions of the minis (and lack of relative scale in posted pictures, so they seem at least two times bigger than they really are). For comparison, while the heads of my wh40k space marine and cadian shocktrooper figures have about 7 mm height, the head of Aloth have only 4 mm. wh40k figures are also overall much bulkier, but despite that, they keep the same total height of 28mm.
Ofc molds for the PoE minis could be better, because robes and armor arent as detailed as they could even considering proportions, but faces are just too small to give them more detailed look.
The miniatures are awful and any attempt to defend them is laughable at best. Some people just have money to burn I guess.
have you ever seen 1:72 scale miniatures from above-mentioned companies, or at least took those "better" warhammer/d&d figures and compared their proportions with PoE minis before posting?

Then prove me wrong and design better head while keeping realistic proportions (they used in-game models as base, mind you), oh, and dont forget to paint them "properly" You're just childish now. Go and find some arguments, then we can speak again.
For those who are interested, that's how the aloth figure looks like, when photo is scaled down to the actual size of the figure:
yeeeah, that face looks far less ofensive now, isnt it?
could they do better? Yes, especially if they didnt re-use game model and made something "exaggerated" from scratch, also aloth pose could be more natural (curently he looks like neo dodging bullets).
Is this the worst figure ever? Not really, just like your average plastic military figure. Tbh, I didnt expect games workshop quality.
