@Crissssss I'm interested in getting a few of these (because some are models I've never seen in a 3D print before), but I have a few questions:
1- It's difficult to get a sense of how these look in real life vs mocked up. Do you have any closer photos, possibly with better lighting?Also have you considered doing a "wash"? I've never painted minis, but the general consensus is that they really make the figures "pop". (EDIT: Never mind, a wash wouldn't really work on these types of models) I wonder if maybe a clear coat would help...?
2- I see that these are designs printed through shapeways, which I believe uses sandstone printing. While I don't know a lot about sandstone 3d printed minis, I've heard mixed things in regards to their durability. I was wondering if you can tell us how your experience has been. Have any of your figures chipped, cracked, or broken?
I have a color mini for my D&D group from Hero Forge on its way to me in a few days, which is also printed using Shapeways. If I'm happy with the result, I think you might see a few orders from me.

@Erotic Materia Thanks for your messages 
1- This is the best photo i received from a customer, also i can say that all the customers are very happy with them, the models look really better in real life
-the glossy finish is maybe what you mean, look at this photo : on the left there is a Chocobo with this finish.
Like this they are protected against dust, water .... But the best is to keep them on a safe place like this :
2-If they fall on the floor there is a lot of probabilities to break them. But if you take care you can keep them for year
I never seen a chipped or cracked model, even after years.
I'm pretty sure that you will be very happy with your D&D figure !
