(which i used.) it's nice that there's some variety in this pack, with an older girl, 2 young boys, and a baby, but i have to wonder what the chickens are for. either way, you get a good bang for your buck; well sculpted figures all around, and pretty cheap too. great figure; solid detail, heavy weight, and paints well. he's a big bruiser you want to have in your arsenal for a demon invasion. if you want to keep the translucent feel of the figure an not use a primer, acrylic paints will mostly just slide off. however, this does lead to a cool effect where it looks like some inky darkness just came out of the ground, which is what you want, i guess. but the finish coat i use was still sticky after drying, something that doesn't happen to other figures i use it on. moreso than anything, this figure needs a stand, she WILL fall over all the time without one. the figure itself is good, though. solid detail, material, and paints fine. it's what you want; a simply, ghostly form with a sword to paint up, and some old gravestones. nothing really special about it. the problem is, the fact that it's made of metal makes it REALLY top-heavy, and will fall over constantly without some kind of stand glued to the bottom. first; this figure comes with two different hands you can attach for the left hand; one splayed open, and one holding a mystical crystal. i love the option, and wish more figures had some level of customization option like this.
overall, great figure. it's what you want from a paladin; shield forward, stoic stance, flaming sword, and pretty face. no complaints about detail or pose. he's a blacksmith. a generic, bearded, long-haired blacksmith. he's buff, he's got a hammer and an anvil. he's a blacksmith alright. move along... the detail comes out nice, the pose is a bit dull, but it's kind of what you want from a bad ass pirate captain. my only complaint; no hat. excellent figure, lovely paint, good rusty effect- just wish i could tell which way was forwards! generally good paint; looks dirty and weathered well. face looks bad though, just two dots for eyes. the figure's mostly good, for a pre-painted one. the only problem i have is that the hat isn't fully on the body. it looks like it's floating over her head. the only reason this doesn't get 1 star is because most of the paint is ok. MOST of it. the face looks like a burn victim, and the hat looks like it's floating over her head. paint's appropriately dirty-looking, but it's a bit sloppy on the teeth. decent overall. the is probably the only time i'll ever give a pre-painted figure a 5-star review, but there's nothign to complain about. good detail, good paint (surprisingly), and a beast you dont really see to much of, but like anyway. not really a lot to say about this guy; he's well detailed, looks the part of a brutish lizard guy, and could easily pass as a dragonborn. no complaints. if you want a small squad of goblins, then this'll doo great. problem i have is that they're all kind of the same; a torch, a big knife, covered in rags and strips of fabric. there's only like 2 or two differences between them all, and most if it's in their poses. still, not a bad set. nice to have a figure that i don't need to assemble before painting. not entirely sure why he's holding his hand out, or why his back is cluttered with a bow, quiver, arrows, sheathe, and a few other little things, but i guess some people like that on their rogues. apart from all that, the figure's nice and solid, and with so few tengu figures available, htis one is nice as a rogue, slayer, fighter, or even a ranger. the detail's solid, the poses are alright (i like the variation between them all), and having a giant lump of treasure is always fun. this guy is pretty big, around large size, if normal figures are medium size. his pose is uninspired, but he looks fairly intimidating nonetheless. it's nice to have a simple-looking robot guy, there are very few figures like that, even with the official war-forged figures by WotC for such a menacing dragon, it's pose is fairly boring. but thankfully the beast is detailed well, and it's huge! probably bigger than huge, actually, in pathfinder scale. the biggest problem, though, is that this thing can't stand up on it's own. simply the way it's molded, it falls over all the time. that, and the right wing wouldn't stay in the slot! i had to hold it in the entire time the epoxy dried. so after using a heat gun and gluing a clear piece of plastic to the foot, it finally stood up without assistance. but what a hassle, man. a shame too, because looks-wise, it's great. it's just the poor QC that kills my enthusiasm. maybe it's just my copy. i hope so.
