I love these little guys - they were made with so much whimsy! I have had these minis in my collection since...well.....since Confrontation was a thing. I cant say I remember much about my original process way back then, but they have always been a high quality addition to my collection. The bases are a little worse for the wear, but the models have held up remarkably well.
Actually, now that I think of it, I believe I have actually even changed the bases on these minis at some point, to ditch the old thick square ones that came in the clam-shell pack. The current basing is a little big, but it helps prevent grabbing onto the small soft models directly.
I have been so pleased with the pumpkin pixies that I have gone on to paint several more pieces that share a theme, color palate, and style. I now have a small collection of devious but still charming harvest fey. In fact, these models may be what won me over to the fey in general. I used to think they were cheesy as monsters, but I have come to appreciate the flourish of color and brightness they bring the fantasy genre. I should gather them up and do a one shot this year....
This post definitely scratches the Halloween itch and gets me motivated to paint. Nothing like Pumpkin Orange on the brush, a cup of coffee, and a backdrop of fall leaves to make me feel comfortable.
