Liking these edgy pteras a fair bit!
Plastic quality and density is FAR better than I expected; these two have quite a bit of weight to them and are extremely balanced when I stand them up. Impressed in that aspect alone! There's details missing that do stand out at certain angles - and obvious issue with Abarekiller is obvious, but, I'm fine to wait for it to get sorted - but the figures as a whole look and feel wonderful. The female mold is also much better in person than in pictures; maybe it's the cape that's helping this, but Slayer's proportions really don't feel that off even when put next to Killer. Could probably be a bit beefier but nothing I have any real problem with.
What is slightly letting them down however at least right now is the packaging and the accessories. These two were a surprising struggle to pull out of their clamshells and Slayer in particular is packaged in such a baffling way; with her hands pushed under the shell so they need to be pulled out as you do it and her cape a separate piece also under the shell despite how she looks in the box. Nothing was damaged at least but it didn't exactly feel great. Talking of damages... my Slayer has quite a number of scratches on her thighs? Is this a widespread or at least kinda uncommon issue? They don't show up that well on the pink and with a voucher I was able to get her for £10 so I'm not exactly sending her back or anything but it wasn't a pleasant surprise.
Aside from that, the accessories are just not that great. Slayer's bow feels kinda sticky at first? Just a bit more gooey than I'm comfortable with; and then getting their weapons in their hands is also a bit of a struggle. You get em in there eventually and it does look good but boy does it feel like you're going to break something -- and it feels the same way for their hands! Really doesn't feel great pulling them out, and yeah; as I've complained many times before... it's a pretty paltry selection of hands. You at least get some okay options with what's there, and maybe I've been spoiled by SHF; but I think at least one more pair of hands would go a long, long way in improving their poseability options. As is I feel just a bit too limited in what I'm able to pull off, and Slayer's chopping hand is next to useless.
I do go on for a bit when I'm complaining, don't I? But don't let the volume of those complaints fool you; I meant what I said about them being fantastic otherwise, it's just there isn't a lot to say on that front! I have issues with the packaging and some niggles with the accessories, but otherwise these are figures that don't just look good but feel extremely solid and well-built in hand. This line's definitely getting a few more purchases from me!
