>>5689640Stuck paint joints was actually common with the birds when they shipped iirc, so that's not really a defect, if anything you got an early test run version as even the ML figures were packed in Eagalus's boxes when they first showed up in package. It's most likely authentic, but probably one that didn't leave the factory under "legal" means.
>>5689744I kind of agree...to a point. The legion builders did what they set out to do, be simple, nondescript versions of the figures to fill out armies with. But they still could've done some thing to make them more interesting on their own, and some of them could've really benefited from some different color schemes. Also, they should've had alternate heads, the knights with the bucket and shell head, the dwarves with armored and half-helm beard heads and the skeletons with bare and hooded skull heads.
Also, for poops and giggles, I decided to arrange the characters in an image by faction and I was honestly surprised to find how balanced the "Good" and "Evil" sides were. I did group the legion builders into specific factions that I felt they work best with, but even without them the sides are pretty well matched. I'm still sad I couldn't go all in, especially now that I see how well they'd look grouped with their proper factions.
