Did anyone else buy these? Just received the few I bought from the kickstarter. They are interesting designs and mostly feel sturdy. My biggest complaints are that there are a lot of fiddly bits that fall off or shift out of place (common modern action figure problem, see even GI Joe Classified) and there are promotional images showing Legendari figures in deep crouches they can't achieve with their single hinge knees. This photoshop feels a bit misleading, Mezco-style, but I'm mostly happy with the figures and can see that they're a labor of love.

Studious
Since they were a Kickstarter first-timer, I only ordered one - Epsylon - to see what they were about. Unfortunately, he was shipped using DHL so I may have him by mid-April.
Looking over the Kickstarter again to figure out Epsylon's name, I doubt I'll pick up many more if he's really good. I didn't care for a lot of the designs.
Speaking of weird designs, I can't believe I didn't notice this before:
What's going on with that clear, yellow tube at his midsection? Is it some weird alien catheter? Is this a stillsuit situation?

I feel compelled to remind you that one of the characters was named "Quikjak".
Just run your designs/names past one thirteen year old, guys. Just one.

Just got my Kickstarter exclusive, "The Gatekeeper".
Sigh...eh. Best I can say.
Sculpt is fine, paints are decent, articulation is pretty much useless. I started with this one, since I wasn't sure about going all in on this line, and he would be the only one that I couldn't find elsewhere later, being the KS exclusive.
That said, I'm just not impressed. I have no attachment to the character as is, and this just hasn't impressed me. When I say the neck has NO range of motion, I mean it. The knees and elbows have that Hasbro style but they just don't give much range.
And then there's the designs. What looked cool to me 3 years ago, having in hand today, it's just SO, SO busy. There's too much going on and it almost hurts my eyes.
As it stands, I might go for the rest of the line--if they go on serious discount, and there's a lull in my collecting. But for right now, I'm good with just this--if I even decide to keep it.

Agreed the ROM on the knees and elbows is lacking. This photoshop on the kickstarter is fairly fraudulent.
