Special mini doesn't count?
No they do not.
Any devs can explain why this shouldn’t be counted?

If you look in your collection tab at the bank, you’ll notice that there’s a standard set of miniatures. The achievement is for collection those miniatures specifically. If we ever released an additional set of miniatures, we would probably have a different collection tab with it’s own achievement.
Although we could add an achievement for collecting special miniautures, some of them would be extremely difficult or impossible to come by.
Aside from that, Guild Wars 1 players would have an unfair advantage, since we’d have minis from the Hall of Monuments that others wouldn’t have.
If there was a special min achievement, it would have to be one for any special, and not for a whole set. So Every new mini could help you, but youd have to not need old ones to complete it, or do it like Entropy where its endless.
There are some inconsistency though.
The risen priest of balthazar counted as part of the achievement and the holo risen knight could be converted via mystic forge to other minis that count as part of the achievement.
They will probably have more such inconsistency in the future.

Yeah agreed. Not to mention we can pull out unlimited of them. I imagine the code is set up to not allow them to be forged as special minis as well, since we could just pull out like 1,000 tabby cats and get Set 1 minis from it.
I’m fine with them not counting towards the achievement.
