The stalactite piece looks especially cool to me. I'd like to see some in
person to assess the color compatibility with LEGO bricks.

Assuming that these sets are derived from the molds formerly used by DSI
Toys for Block-Men (and, judging by the underside of one of the large
plates, that appears to be the case), I would say that the bricks are
probably very compatible with LEGO, although certain figure accessories
might not be. Block-Men, by the way, also made its instruction sheets
available online in .pdf format. Hmm...
Block-Men featured a number of terrain forms that fit LEGO studs but
weren't very versatile. The best thing about them was that a set could
include a 32x44 flat baseplate and two terrain forms, whereas a LEGO set
might simply have a single sculpted baseplate.

More for me!
