Well, that was unexpected. You can buy blank minis now, I guess if you want to paint them yourself or something. You can see them here.

seems like an excuse to not do it themselves but still make money disguised as a brilliant idea

I mean, Warriors fans such as pinkbunnygirl43 and others have been creating, painting and selling their own custom mini figurines for years and they cost quite a bit usually (like 100-200 bucks since they are handpainted, so that is understandable).
So, depending on how much these official mold mini blank bases cost instead, this indeed could be a good alternative for people who don't have the money for handpainted customs and want to paint their own instead (such as OCs, official characters like bg cats that will never be made into actual minis by the team or reimagine canon cats that have already been made officially but where the design is not to their liking).

Tbh, I've been waiting for something like this ever since the minis were first announced! Probably won't buy one, but it's nice to see there are finally molds at all!

Imagine in the future some little girl buys these, paints them, comes back to them 5 years later, and is like: These are ugly, why'd I spend my money on this?!
(That's what I did with my lps, I painted them and I don't like it)

(That's what I did with my lps, I painted them and I don't like it) You say that, but who hasn't, say, made cringy artwork or written cringy fanfiction and low-key enjoyed looking back on it after a couple years? The nostalgia potential is through the roof here.

These are a pretty good idea, but not a huge fan. I guess my main issue on these is that they both look too similar to each other face-wise, maybe add in tufts for one of them, and they're way too smooth for the paint to stick on so if I were to get these, I would have to lightly sand them or paint more than one coat, but that's my opinion. I'm sure people are gonna love them and they are pretty affordable too.

Not buying the minis, let alone the prototypes.

Just saw these... The decorated example is sending me lmao. I do love the special sparkle cat OC aesthetic lol. Already iconic! I don't know if this is a bad thing, but I made up a cringy back story for them: Their names are Eveningwing and Nightstar, Eveningwing is your local sunshine cinnamon roll, but she falls in love with bad boy Nightstar.

ehhhhhhh don't love em... order from Pinkbunnygirl43 instead. Not everyone can afford her customs though. They usually cost almost 100 or 200 bucks. Just checked and there is currently a big sale but not everyone can even afford to buy one custom for 20 bucks. And like, it's of course completely understandable that they have that price since they are indeed handmade and handpainted but still.
