Walk through most miniature shops — online or in person — and you’ll notice something: the designs rarely have a name attached. A dragon is just “Dragon, 32mm.” A dungeon collection is just “Dungeon Set.” Where the design actually came from, and whether it was licensed properly at all, gets left out entirely.
We do it differently, and it’s a deliberate choice, not an accident.
Where Our Catalog Actually Comes From
We hold a lifetime commercial license with STLFlix, and at this point in time, everything we print and sell comes exclusively from their catalog. That’s not a limitation we’re quietly working around — it’s a decision. Rather than piecing together designs from a dozen different sources of varying legitimacy, we committed to one properly licensed source we trust completely, and built the shop around it.
Collections like Shadow Over Ravenor, Ice and Fire, and the Bestiarium of the Mad Scholar are all part of that STLFlix catalog. Every sculptor behind them created their work knowing it would be licensed and printed properly — not scraped, not pirated, not resold without their knowledge.
Why This Matters Beyond Politeness
There’s a practical reason to be upfront about this. When you know exactly where a design comes from, you know exactly what you’re getting: a properly licensed sculpt, backed by a real commercial agreement, not a mystery file of unknown origin.
It also reinforces something we talked about in our piece on the STLFlix Advantage: licensing only means something if it’s real, disclosed, and consistent — not a one-off claim made to sound legitimate. A lifetime commercial license is about as real as it gets.
What This Looks Like In Practice
Every product page tells you which STLFlix collection a piece is from and gives that world its own identity — Moga the halfling from Shadow Over Ravenor, the Fire Giant from Ice and Fire, the Mapinguari from the Bestiarium of the Mad Scholar. It’s a small habit, but it means when you’re building out a themed army or a specific campaign’s cast of characters, you can find everything from that same creative world in one place — and know it’s all coming from the same properly licensed source.
The Bonehead GAmes Standard Extends To Sourcing, Too
We built the Bonehead Games standard around a simple idea: would this be good enough for our own table. Being upfront about our license is part of that same standard applied to how the pieces got made in the first place — not just whether the print quality holds up, but whether the whole chain, from license to your shelf, is one we’re proud to stand behind.
