These are not that bad, they will go good with the Fov line.

Those are news to me Flayrah...

Actually not bad from a customizing pov, but not sure everyone will appreciate them. I'm wondering if they're direct knock-offs and where they'll be available in the U.S. I'm assuming they're not gonna cost much so to me the headsculpts alone (and goggles) make them worthy purchases if they're below $5, which I'm wagering they are.

Paintjobs are a little poor but with the right work they look very decent for modern stuff.

Anyone seen these at a store though, to know where they're being sold in the first place? I'm guessing the guy's starting price puts them at $4 or so retail.

that one looks ok. more like PTE articulation to me.

don't mind grabbing them for custom purposes and all. like head swaps, etc.

now if they release some vehicles.... Ka-ching!! i'm so there.

I'm with JJ, the heads and goggles are OK but we've been spoiled with the quality of the newest BBI figures. They make the old figures look, well, old.

I don't have any ....yet.
But judging from the different looking faces on the heads, they may make for some different looking figures, so I ordered some from their Evil bay store. I guess I'll just take their heads and put them on our 21st C and FOV figures :twisted: Never hurts to try some new heads :wink: I mean, we won't want to see a German clone army, would we :? I'll post in the future my results 8) If I can do a sucessful head swap to them, I'll sell or trade off the brand "X" figures with 21st/BBI/FOV heads.

Look for these in those all for a DOLLAR stores. I've ran into many great knockoffs in those places. :D
