Second things second: Either you like the sculpted figures or you don’t.
They’re very well done, but some may find that they’ve lost the minifig
“charm.” The level of detail is quite impressive, with paint and sculpted
detail on front and back, and I like the non-primary colors. The red coats
are blood-red; the green bones are mildew-green, etc. And the figures have
eleven points of articulation (vs. seven for LEGO and the recent MB figs).
Even the vaunted (but hideous) ArtAsylum figs have only 13 points.

Whoops! A few additional realizations! ArtAsylum figs have 14 points of
articulation:
wrist X 2
elbow X 2
shoulder X 2
ankle X 2
knee X 2
hip X 2
waist X 1
neck X 1
and these sculpted MB figs have 12:
wrist X 2
elbow X 2
shoulder X 2
knee X 2
hip X 2
waist X 1
neck X 1
I didn’t notice at first that the waists swivel. Very nice.
Also, the ball-joints of these figs echo the design of the Yeti figure from the
Polar Pursuit set in the Creature Seekers line so many years ago.
One other point--the joints were kind of stiff upon first use; parents may wish
to work out the kinks before handing them off to kids who might snap them
inadvertantly.
Dave!
