I've got a quick review posted on my blog - Reasonably Intelligent Rambling. I'll be updating RIR with additional posts over the coming days with a little more on my thoughts on the specific characters.

However, I don't like the cartoon where Zartan and Storm Shadow get killed off. Killing major players like these two is just plain stupid.

Quite honestly, 2 years too late and packed with characters who are/were already available. It isn't a total failure on Hasbro's part (who can forsee an economic downturn as bad as it was), but the longer it was held back the more Resolute faded from sight and memory. Who was packed in is more Hasbro's fault. Really, characters release as singles or available in store exclusives? Failure.

Is for constructive criticism (will even settle for destructive) just anything but "Nice shot" or "Awesome".

The paint apps are alright, but not as good as they *should* be, especially since we had to wait so long for the sets.

But all in all, when I pre-ordered them BEFORE the Con, I was excited to get them...and I still am

I like this "knife on the shoulder" thing, since that's where I carry mine while hiking. As long as they're removable. I don't think Scarlett's is. __________________ Read Hammerfel's Dio Story, "Disciple" here My Want List - Help me complete my Dios!

That said, I dig these sets, the joe one really. They have some close similarities to the ddp designs. __________________ I submit to You. I lay at Your feet, Lord.
