Great Dice
This is my second time getting dice from Haxtec. My first set was the emerald and silver trim metal dice, also featured in the pictures for comparison. I was very happy with the metal dice, so I decided to try there plastic dice.First thing I noticed was the brilliant color. I got the teal swirl dice which a White color that will fade to teal and then to black in some very nice swirl patterns. And the dice are labeled with gold numbers which contrast from the teal white and black, making them very easy to read. The fact the the font is larger when compared to the font on there metal dice set. Overall I'm very happy with the overall appearance of the dice.One thing to note is how they differentiate between 9 and 6. Normally they are designated with line under the numbers. However with this set of dice it is designated with a dot next to it on some of the dice. Using context clues I figured out that the dot being on the right side of the number designates if its a 9 or a 6. However I believe it is just easier to use line rather than a dot. However, I assume Haxtec made this design decision to make the numbers bigger, and simply didn't have enough room on the D20 and D12 dice to put a line. It's your preference whether you like the dot or lines better, but I would prefer if it was consistent across the whole set rather than just have some dice use the line, and others use the dot. This is a minor detail of course, and doesn't detract from the great quality and design of the dice.Obviously because these are plastic they will weigh significantly less then their metal dice. I find that because they weigh less that it's easier to control when rolling them. Because the metal dice weigh more they have more momentum when rolling which means they will roll farther than plastic dice. Again this a preference thing, since I am just a player I like the heavy feeling of a metal dice, however I can see that Dungeon Masters would probably prefer players use plastic dice so dice aren't flying everywhere.Regardless The teal dice feel really nice and smooth in the hand, and sound great when you roll them. It makes for a satisfying experience when playing with them.My final note on the dice is that some of them appear to be slightly bigger then their metal counter-parts. It's preference whether you like that or not. I personally don't mind.Overall these are great dice, and I'd recommend them to anyone who is starting off playing Dungeons and Dragons, or any tabletop RPG.Now another thing I should mention that differs from when you get the metal dice is the bag the set comes in. With the Metal Dice you get a PU leather bag with a fabric inner lining. Plastic Dice get a smaller fabric bag. It feels nice and soft however I feel the bag could have benefited from having a stitched logo, rather than a printed one.Still the bag is nice and holds all Dice in it comfortably.over all I believe Haxtec offers a great price for their dice and the bags that come with them, and will most certainly be a returning customer. At some point I think I will try out their glow in the dark dice.I'm surprised more people haven't heard of Haxtec, because when I brought it up to my friends, who are more experienced in Dungeons and Dragons, they had never heard of it.After using both their metal and plastic dice, I can happily recommend this brand to them and to anyone reading this review.

Absolutely stunning
I really love the swirled effect of these dice. The darker teal color is slightly transparent while the white is opaque. This makes for some really interesting looking swirls where you can see through some of the teal sections to the white underneath.I know the swirls are all random, mine came out with more white than the pictures but they are still very appealing with the high amount of contrast. My d8 is probably my least favorite of the bunch simply because the swirl effect isn't as strong and it looks more evenly split with 4 dark sides opposite 4 white sides. The d10s and the d20 are absolutely stunning. My applause for the color choice, I don't often like many two-toned dice as they often just look gaudy, but these dice have a very high quality look and feel to them. Any other set of dice I've purchased looks very cheap by comparison.

Great Dice
GORGEOUS color - my pictures do not do these dice justice! They seem very balanced too, I’ve played a few sessions with them and they are always varied in the outcome. Playing a tempest cleric in service to a CE sea goddess, so I wanted some stormy dice to match - could not be more happy with these! They come with a nice little bag for storage too!

They feel niiiice when they roll
My daughter loved rolling for the monsters with her new "ice". She's 3 and already wants to be part of the game. I rolled them a few times to see if they were any good and they roll really really nice. Probably better than the set I bought for me tbh.

Cool Design! Looks Like Ocean Waves!
Cool design! They look just like the waves in the ocean, which is why I bought them. They will be perfect for my Triton DND character.The dice are made very well and the numbers are easy to read because they are in gold.

Love these dice
The color in the picture is accurate and looks better in person than I expected. I look forward to using these at my next game night

For the most part they're beautiful but the d6 is very flawed
The dice as they were designed and intended to be made are beautiful and I like that, for 6 of the 7 pieces, they have the look I liked when I chose to buy them, but the d6 is flawed in that it's much more pearlescent than the rest, so it literally looks like it came from another set, and on top of that, there is, like, a dent on the 5 side. It's actually consistently rolling 5s, which is, like, kind of good for me in-game, but unfair to the people I play with and defeats the whole purpose of RPGs. I do well with finesse weapons where it's the d6 I roll for damage. There are some dice I never use (d4, d8, d12) but the d6 is pretty important to all of the characters I'm currently playing. I'm disappointed with this set because of the d6 but I'm not going to send the set back because it was a good price and I really like the way the other 6 look and on the d20 I rolled a 13 then an 18 which makes me like her (the d20). Bummed about the situation but I guess you get what you pay for. I've bought a few really high-end d20s recently so it's pretty disappointing to see that you really do have to pay a lot to get dice of real quality.

Pretty dice!
So pretty in person. They really do look like white foam rolling over dark blue-green ocean waves. My boyfriend loved the gift.

Lovely dice, but I received an incomplete set.
The dice set I ordered was the purple galaxy one and they are lovely dice that came in a neat little velvet bag! But I received a set that was missing a d8, and instead had a duplicate d10. So: 1d4, 1d6, 2d10, 1d12, 1d20, 1d100.I already have some dice sets so I can use a d8 from another set when playing, but it's a real shame that I didn't get a complete set and when I play it's frustrating that it doesn't match. It's not the worst since I need to roll 2d10s a lot (lvl 5 Eldritch Blast, woohoo!), so having the second d10 is still convenient during play. But if you have only one dice set it'd be a major problem to be missing one of the kinds of dice from the set.I can't find a way to contact seller via amazon's interface to ask if they could post me a d8 to complete the set. Almost a perfect purchase if not for this problem, it's a real shame. And I wouldn't want to order more sets from them unless this gets resolved.If they respond to help resolve the mix-up I will update this review, and update again if/when the set is completed.

Theyre pretty cool, but inconsistent
Half of the dice look great with their swooshy inky effect, but the other half (the d20, d6 and d4) look almost opaque, which is kind of dissapointing

2 out of 3 excellent, some issues with swirl set
Teal Rosegold foil Dragon and Gemini (dark blue) sets:Gorgeous dice, exactly as pictured, well worth the money and came in a cute little bag :) a few minor moulding issues (the 5 on the D6 was a little funky) but it was only on one die and one letter, very good 100% recommendSwirl set (black):Good, as pictured, however the moulding issue I had with my D6 from another set affected multiple faces of my D20, which I was very disappointed to find was so dark you couldn't tell that it was swirled, just looked black. this is a problem I have seen other buyers reporting. I don't think I could recommend this producer's smoke set for this reason. Most were fine but another customer had 2 dice with this problem rather than one.

Hard to read
The dice are good quality, but white translucent colour with gold text was really hard to read under moderate lighting.
