they're actually pretty neat. i should note that "meteor man", fourth from the left, isn't actually brown. he's actually colored like he was in the cartoon.
i wasn't able to get blue falcon and dynomutt because they simply weren't in stock.
anyhow, these figs come two-per pack, $10 per pack. here's a link that lists how all of the figures (including the robotech and dbz sets) are paired off. each figure has a somewhat cheap looking "coin" that has a likeness of the corresponding character on it along with their edition number.
now, the figures actually have magnets in their feet, so these coins actually serve as a base for the figure.
as far as scale is concerned, they're taller thank kubricks, but they're shorter than minimates.
by the same coin (no pun intended) they're more articulated than kubrics, but not as articulated as minimates.
for those of you keeping score, these figures (the "humanoid" ones at least) have 12 points of articulation.
my favorite part of the design here is the shoulder joint. it's very much like the shoulder joints on the current motu figures, and allows for a much greater range of motion than any other i have seen offered on a "blocky" figure
i only have four complaints:
1) some of the costume details around the neck on meteor man and birdman are actually stickers.
2) avenger looks oddly out of scale.
3) with the exception of thundaar, they are all without weapons of any sort.
4) the wing system used for birdmn and avenger is sort of odd. it's sort of like a springless butterfly hair clasp, or something. not really bad, seeing as the level of simplicity is appropriate for this format, but leaves something to be desired.
all in all, these little plastic bastitchs are a welcome addition to my collection.
you can be sure that i'll be keeping an eye out for some of the dbz figures, and hoping for a "herculoids" set, though.
