I bought a single from that line this summer.

Actually, I didn't like the material it was made from. Difficult to file. Not too much fun to paint. I'd rather have minis made from traditional material.

Are they made from the soft-ish plastic they use for their "bones" minis?  If so, I concur....I bought a bones red dragon for my daughter, and it's way too bendy.  Metal or hard plastic I am good with...

AFAIK the answer is yes. They're incredibly cheap, but not worth it IMHO.

I'm guessing these are generally meant for the recent re-release of Battletech?

Agreed.. that soft bendy plastic stuff is crap.  A hundered dollars, even for so many, wouldn't be enticing.  :knuppel2:

+1 I'm really glad I didn't pony up for any of the kickstarters they did.
