I don't know much about the line, including how long it's been for sale (though earliest mention I can find of the line is from late last year); and, I see very few posts on HissTank regarding the line, so I don't have much of a peer review to go off of to determine their quality. Judging from the pictures, they look pretty nice; but, at an average of nearly $25 each, I'm not in a hurry to just drop the cash to find out for myself. So, I thought I would start up a thread, and ask a few questions of any Tankers that happen to own the figures, and allow any owners of figures from the line to post their opinions.
(Apologies in advance if this was covered already; I swear I did a search and came up with a goose egg, apart from one dio post.)
Questions:
*How is the general build quality? Are they reasonably sturdy? Is something likely to stick and twist off the first time I move the joint, or will they hold up under reasonable adult "play"?
*How is the articulation? From the images, they look like they have most all the usual POAs covered, but I can't quite tell what's going on with the hips, or get a feel for the range of motion.
*How is the scale versus other modern figures? I see the description for the Marines is 3.75'', and the Xenomorphs is 4'', which makes me a little worried that they might be under-scale compared to most modern figures--which, despite conventional classification as 3.75'', are really closer to 4''. (NECA's Gears of War 3 figures had the same problem, but they were only $10, and detailed AS BALLS, so it was easier to forgive.)
*I see they have stands; do they support the same footpegs as most modern figures? How about backpacks? (I'm guessing "no" on the backpacks, but "yes" on the stands.)
Thanks in advance!
P.S. I did find one thread that indicates Hiya was making hints to a Predator line as well...
