I received one of my figures (the other is on pre-order). The wrist hinges were frozen from excess paint and/or plastic. I cut them loose and all is well.
I don't like the feet at all, mostly because they are rocker ankles. The flesh paint areas are not the greatest,
either (particularly the head). However, the rest of the figure seems quite serviceable and very sturdy. The legs have thigh swivels which I ordinarily hate, but unlike Marvel and SW black series figures that have thigh swivels, the hips on these actually allow forward/backward movement without having to rotate the thigh. Plus the thigh swivels are firm and don't gap when handling the legs. You can grab the leg and put it wherever you want it without having to swivel the thigh at all, and it doesn't feel like you're going to break anything in the process.
EDIT: I pulled the coat aside and got a better look. It's not ball-hinged at all, it's a ball socket joint for the hips, which explains why it works so well. Sorry for the confusion.
Bottom line: If you swap or repaint the heads, you'll probably be very pleased with these. If you hate rocker ankles then be prepared to cut these off and swap in donor feet. Everything else is pretty great as-is.
I'll be buying the next wave in May if I can.
