Do you think it worth the price????'
Definately! I paid $20 for mine I think and love him to bits! Quality of the paint apps is excellent - at least the same as the Hasbro original and the plastic seems pretty good too.

I have to say I'm impressed by them. The plastic is slightly shinier than proper Hasbro ones, but the paint application and stuff on them is really good. The Camo ones are my favourites.

If anyone is interested the Shadow ones I have as surplus as part of the bigger lot a few of us on here clubbed together to get I can do for less than $20 as The Black Major (the seller) is a fan of BFTB even though he's not a member, so he cut us a favourable deal on them (if you're reading this John - "Thanks!" And "join up here!")

To play Battle of the Planets Humby. I did that a lot I used to play AF,Gi Joe, transformers and many more as my parents couldn't afford every new thing that came out in the 80's.

I really cant recommend the figures enough either - they are really good and you can still pick up the more common earlier ones (regular Mark, Keyop and Princess) for a few pounds on ebay. Series 2 are harder to get, and the variants are high on impossible now, but if you just want a few for display you can probably pick up Mark, Keyop and Princess for less than £20 for the three! (and then you can drop Keyop off of high places for being annoying!).

Now if only they did a 7-Zark-7 figure too. (so i could burn it, as he was even more annoying than Key Op, and only put in to fill the show out a bit for us Westerners once they deleted the violence!)
