Looks like they saw Paul's customs. If only they weren't that damned 25th style lanky leg funny arm crap.

I like the 25th's legs, but not their arms (so much intrincate articulation in so small arms doesn't work :-x ).
About the figs themselves, I'd like them too, at least Dr Venom and the Adventure Team Commander (who technically is Colton ;-) ). However, I'd have preferred to see Atomic Man among the Adventure team, but I guess they wanted to begin with the possibilities from the original-like headsculpt.

A yellow FANG!! We could get some :qforce: stickers on that. That would be super cool (imho)!
When confronted by a difficult problem you can solve it more easily by reducing it to the question. How would the Lone Ranger handle this?

They look ok no doubt they cost a ridiculous amount for a set of technically only 2 figures as the bearded one is the same figure just painted differently.

It's mentioned in the link that Tshot put in his post.

It's about halfway down the link - in the heading above the pictures theres a "view all images" option, then it's on the third page towards the end. Or you could just look at these pictures instead:-

Some good concept art amongst the images too though, so worth a look. Although I like this one:-

I love the "one breast is larger than the other - sort it out" style comment. I've know women like that in the past but I'm sure if I'd put it that way I'd have got a slap!

How is it that before I read your comments, Steve, the first thing I noticed (besides the gaudy HAWK) was the breastplate part in that pic?

The technical term is titty plate BTW.
