Very cool figures but the knees are wonky and they feel flimsy. Definitely not MTF or Boss fight quality, but pretty cool in their own right. The plastic feels like hollow knock off type. They are extremely light weight. I haven’t had the chance to look into making them more sturdy. I’m glad I have them, but I doubt I will be getting the rest. I hope Eagle Force and Adventure People are of higher quality and durability. I’m not knocking them per se, just giving an honest opinion to my Bros.

I only have Toxious, the skunk (the tribute to MOTU's Stinkor), but I like him a lot; enough so that I'll probably buy at least a few more figures. My main problem is that the arm and leg armor doesn't clip on real tight. The leg armor in particular comes off easy. Spero knows about this, though, and will be revising the design. The plastic quality doesn't really bother me as much; I think they'd probably feel about as solid as anything else if the sculpts were bulked up a bit.

I only have just the one, so here's a few different pictures of him alongside a few different brands/manufacturers. Note that this particular figure includes not one, not two, but three different heads; the ape one is better suited for a Horrid figure, but it's a nice inclusion.
Here he is with most of his armor removed. I'm not sure how to get the "pants" off safely; I think the torso can be pulled apart, but I'm not in the mood to try. Sorry for the soft focus! These guys are just a hair on the short side relative to most modern figures, but given their animal nature, it doesn't really look "wrong" in any context.

Yeah, I can't decide if I want to check one of these out or not. IT make for a pretty easy Werewolf to add to Dracula's order, but I've heard about the plastic quality from a few people.

Yeah I mean I don't fear them falling apart (other than the knees). The knee joints just don't work smoothly and they are so small I fear they will break. Kind of like Acid Rain figs. If I can fortify the knees that will be a different story. I think the "squared" cut around the knee joint just wasn't cut straight enough and it rubs.
I hate to sway someone into not getting them (because I do enjoy them), but I wont be getting more unless I get the deepest of deep discounts.

Thanks Waz. The set up on the figure in the 1st 2 pics looks like a 4inch modern Battle Beast. Even the weapon looks like an updated version.
If you want to take off his belt gear try hitting it with a blow dryer untill it get soft.
