"Go to the sign of Marvel's Axe, a dubious inn on the edge of the Thieves Quarter, in the City of Greyhawk, and look to your own wrist. If you perceive a bracelet and dangling dice, watch for the next throw in the war between Law and Chaos and be prepared to follow the compelling geas." -Signal

Cardboard Heroes: Modern Characters - Steve Jackson Games

I love using miniatures but can't paint them for crap and I think just having the bare metal does not give the full effect. Plus lugging around a ton of lead miniatures gets old add to that the storage issues so the painted ones don't get nicked up and all of a sudden you have a niche market. Before WotC gave (and then took aware) the prepainted plastic mini there were Cardboard Heroes from SJG. I loved the idea and have a few of these and will eventually want to get all of them. These make things so much easier. Nowadays you can find similar products on the cheap as PDFs. If you hate lugging metal miniatures but still want the effect why not give apper heroes a try!
