Printed Obsession Miniatures UK: Quirky D&D NPCs, Monsters and Oddities for Your Table

Fantasy miniatures made for armies are easy to find. Printed Obsession makes something harder to source: the slime queen lurking in a sewer, the goblin running a working brewery, the familiar merchant who turns out to be the most memorable NPC your players meet all year. We stock the full range at TabletopXtra, printed in high-quality resin and shipped across the UK. If your campaign needs the kind of creature no plastic kit was ever going to include, this is the place to start.

Who are Printed Obsession?

Printed Obsession have been sculpting tabletop miniatures for over a decade. The following they've built is mostly among dungeon masters and collectors who've grown tired of the same orc warbands and stock fantasy fighters. Their focus has always been the weird corner of the D&D Monster Manual: the creatures that make players look up from their character sheets, the NPCs that make a dungeon feel strange, and the oddities that mainstream producers don't bother with.

The catalogue is shaped by community vote. Each month, subscribers choose the theme for the next release. That's how you end up with releases like Deity Fight Club, a Circus of Horrors, and a goblin brewery complete with working equipment. It's not a format every studio would trust, but it keeps the range consistently surprising. The most enthusiastic corners of the D&D hobby get to see their favourite concepts actually made.

The MyMiniFactory designer interview gives a good account of how the studio thinks. Their full catalogue is on the Printed Obsession MyMiniFactory profile if you want to see what we don't yet stock.

The themes that define the Printed Obsession style

Printed Obsession's work clusters around a few recurring areas. Monsters from folklore and myth that rarely make it into official miniature lines. D&D creature types with no good physical representations anywhere. And NPCs specific enough to anchor a campaign scene rather than just populate a dungeon room.

Some concrete examples from across the range:

• Cryptids and folklore creatures. The Cryptids & Skinwalkers set brings Mothman, the Jersey Devil and a host of American-folklore monsters to the table at 28/32mm. No mass-market producer does anything close to this.
• Constructs and mechanical oddities. The Construct set fills a gap most miniature collections have: golems, living armour, clockwork servants and mechanical creatures for artificer characters, dungeon puzzles and magical workshops.
• Specific NPCs. The Familiar Seller is exactly the kind of release that gets dungeon masters reaching for a credit card: a merchant and their magical companions, ready to drop into any fantasy city and become an instant campaign fixture.
• Body-horror and the unsettling. Flesh Creatures From Behind the Veil covers aberrations and body-horror monsters for horror campaigns, Curse of Strahd sessions, or any encounter designed to genuinely unsettle a table.
• Comedy and warmth. Goblin Brewers pairs goblin characters with brewery scenery pieces. It's hard to describe without sounding absurd, and that's exactly the point.

What to expect from Printed Obsession miniatures UK

Each release comes as a Full Set: a complete themed collection with the main characters, supporting creatures, and usually at least one piece of scenery. Prices run from around £27 to £70 depending on how large the cast is. Individual models from some sets are sold separately if you need just one specific character rather than the whole theme.

Scale is 28/32mm, compatible with standard D&D and Pathfinder miniatures and bases. The sculpts sit at the heroic end of 28mm, with expressive faces and exaggerated details that read clearly across a table. Hyper-realism is not what Printed Obsession is going for. Character is.

At TabletopXtra, all Printed Obsession models are printed in high-quality resin and arrive unpainted. The resin picks up surface detail well: the folds in a goblin's apron, the texture of a flesh creature's hide, the delicate work on a familiar seller's wares. For painters wanting something to spend real time on, most sets in this range will oblige.

Flagship Printed Obsession ranges on the TabletopXtra store

Slime Queen Rises (£49.99) is one of the larger sets: an ooze queen, her slime minions and the sort of boss-fight creature that makes players immediately regret splitting the party. Works in any sewer, underground ruin or corrupted dungeon.

Hunting Party (£39.99) gives you a group of hunters and their quarry. They work as rangers, bounty hunters, NPC antagonists or enemy warbands without much adaptation. Sets like this tend to see use across many campaigns, not just one.

Random Monster (£36.99) is the studio's most recent release. A mixed bag of creature types chosen by subscriber vote: you genuinely don't know what you're getting until the votes are counted, which is part of the appeal.

Circus of Horrors (£55.99) is one of the most requested sets in the range. Twisted carnival performers, a ringmaster with questionable intentions, and enough supporting characters to populate an entire encounter. It works as a setting as much as a miniature set.

Puppet Masters Travelling Show (£46.99) is a strong pick for campaigns that lean into intrigue: sinister puppeteers, marionettes and the unsettling atmosphere of a troupe that's not what it appears. Good for a one-shot, even better embedded in a longer story.

The full Printed Obsession collection at TabletopXtra has everything we stock, from individual models to complete themed sets.

Why Printed Obsession works for D&D, Pathfinder and RPG campaigns

The straightforward reason is that they make things other studios don't. Most miniature ranges assume you want an army: twelve fighters, a banner bearer, a commander. Printed Obsession assumes you want the weird old merchant who knows too much, the creature your players have never seen before, the encounter that doesn't look like every other encounter they've had. The sculpts are built to be memorable rather than interchangeable.

They're also a practical option for dungeon masters on a budget. A Full Set gives you a complete encounter for a fixed price, and the models arrive unpainted, so you control how they look at your table. A wash and a drybrush is often enough to get a Printed Obsession sculpt reading well under a gaming lamp. The faces and silhouettes carry a lot.

For painters, the range offers something less common in printed miniatures: sculpts with enough going on that spending real time on them makes sense. The Familiar Seller and Goblin Brewers have the kind of narrative detail that rewards careful brushwork. You don't paint them to tick a box. You paint them because the sculpts are worth it.
