First thing I noticed is, all of them have some sticky parts that you need to attach to them. And whatever that stuff is made out of, it's REALLY REALLY sticky. To the point of being almost annoying. You could probably decorate a mirror with them.
How sticky you ask? well... this sticky.
Just handling them is a pain because of that stuff. You have to be careful not to stick two figures together. A bit too sticky for my taste but once you manage to display them properly, they look awesome.
Got 4 glow in the dark ones. I completely forgot to take a picture of those...I'll have to edit this later tonight.
Anyways, here's what I got so far.

Congrats on the find.
Would it be possible to get a size comparison, with a MUSCLE, MIMP or something?

Oh man, when I first saw pics of those I assumed the shells were just soft rubber, not sticky. Still look really awesome though.
Yep. I was expecting the same thing.
Another thing is these will probably be dust magnets.

Do any of you remember these little sticky hands you could get in gumball machines?

It's the same stuff. I could throw one on my wall and it would probably stick.

The sticky stuff has always been easy to clean. Soap and water make it like new. Seems like these are made to either play with but i think they'd be fine to display in a case rather then out in the open.
Im sure stuff made out of that sticky stuff over the years rots on its own and if you have Pets these things are hair and Dust magnets. Such great looking figures they they put a gimmick into that will not last a few years even what a waste.

Yeah i don't think it will hold over over time BUT the actual figures without the goo are so damn cool i don't mind. Sucks for people who like to collect stuff and keep it mint though, that is for sure. I tend to play with my stuff so i don't mind.

This.
And, I think the base figures are neat enough, that I will keep pursuing the line.

The figures themselves are made of a very nice, soft plastic. It's only the removable "clothing" that is made of the sticky rubber material. But yes, that material is pretty much identical to the material of Boogaz.So they are better sculpted Boogaz~?
When I first opened my Virus Attacks figure sometime last year, the clothing piece was sticky, but it wasn't too bad. However, I just took it out of my display case yesterday, and it was incredibly sticky. Perhaps the material quickly degrades over time.
I'm going to remove the clothing and throw it away.

The sculpts themselves could be easily molded. However, the "clothing" could not.
