Hi John,
Had a look at those three sets "in the box" yesterday, in the UK they are relatively expensive at around £6 a set (compared
to £6.50 for Dragon figure sets).
Overall I'm not very impressed, they remind me of the not so good Academy figures of a few years ago, the figures seem
bigger and taller than Dragon/Italeri, the detail is a bit crude and not to today's standards, the head look OK but I've
seen better. The poses are neither very natural nor original.
Conclusion : I'd stick with Tamiya, Dragon and Tristar for good injection moulded plastic figures.
Cheers,
Christophe
