Review (5/5): Gorgeous figures, some assembly required.
When I purchased this set, I assumed they were going to arrive in windowed (a clear plastic front so you can see the figure) boxes, and act as your standard action figure. Instead they arrived in completely closed boxes with no individual labeling - meaning you have to open them to find out what's inside, and then display them if you want to show them off.
They also came in several pieces (Firion having the most pieces to assemble) and small black stands, but they fit together without any problem. The only issue I had was keeping Terra attached to her stand (her feet are tiny), but I suppose if you don't move her once you have her attached you'll be fine. Some of the figures came with a small black circle (a little smaller than a 20 oz soda bottle cap) that I have zero clue what it's used for. I can only assume it's to weigh down the stand for the more top-heavy figures.
Pros: Amazingly detailed, reasonably priced, fun to assemble.
Cons: MUST be removed from the boxes and assembled if you want to display them in any form.
