I bought these despite all the reviews about how brittle they are. But after prepping and painting the thing, I have to say that I agree completely. This thing is TOO brittle. The spear broke off, the feet were molded on terribly and both broke off, the masks don't fit properly on their fittings, and I had to purposefully cut off the fittings to get them to fit right. That all being said, the detail is great. I have it painted and it, when it's all said and done, should hold up just fine. It just took a LOT of super glue, a LOT of patience getting around the frustration, and then on top of that, the time necessary to paint it. Overall, maybe not worth the trouble.
Great detail, but so brittle it may not be worth it.
