...ignoring the 2/3rds of this topic that is pointlessly bitching about scale
Having them in hand, they're actually really great figures. Everything about them is very solidly built and they have a very noticeable heft to them. If one of these guys falls over, you'll definitely hear it. Articulation for the most part is pretty fantastic, legs have a great range of motion, the ball joint torso gives a wonderful amount of ab-crunch and the ball joint in the neck is pretty beefy, giving them a good range of head tilt and twist.
The only real complaints can be found in the arms, with their single hinged elbow (which goes just under 90 degrees), slightly hampered shoulder articulation (at least with the armored torso) and the frequently mentioned hinged wrist instead of the ball joint wrist. Also of note, the left hand on the two figures I got seems to have a tighter grip then the right hand. This may be a line wide thing, but it's kind of nice because they can hold some non-ML weapons better in one hand then the other so there's a bit more options for gearing these guys up.
As for the accessories, all of em are just as rigid and strong as the figures themselves. I don't have fear of the swords or spears snapping in half like I do for other similarly sized figures, and they hold all their natural weapons really well. My only complaint with the accessories is the fact they chose to go with a clip on shield. Clip on shields look bad, damage the figure, get loose over time and generally are one of the worst ways to attach a shield. On the bright side, the clip part is easily removable, leaving a tiny peg in it's place so modifying them to have handles isn't a difficult task.
So far, I'm happy with the two test shots I got and can't wait for the rest of my figures to come in. Maybe it's because there's so few other 1/12th scale fantasy figures out there, but I find these guys to just be fantastic toys all around...ignoring some minor gripes.
