Thanks Andy,
They are well molded with good detail. There are four figures, farmer
included. The clear plastic sprue is included with the aforementioned
lantern and bottles and has some goggles as well. Other accessories
include 2 milk jugs, a small cart/wagon, basket, and a bucket, and
pistols in holsters. It was about 6 bucks here in Maryland U.S. which I
think is a good price.
I'd say the only "downer" is the way the attachment points for the heads
are molded. The heads are "keyed", each being molded to fit one torso.
This assures a good tight fit, but if you want to convert it'll require
some puttying/filling. When has conversion NOT required those steps, though?
Good then I can put them in the box with the Hybrid Ic and....hopefully
build them some year...
