Well, my last shipment from Matty arrived today, after paying £100 in customs ransom. Tuskador is DAMNED impressive, except for the smears on his tusks, since they put him in his pack too tightly and too soon after painting. The Wraiths are nifty, but I don't like the two-toned eyes. I may repaint those with glow-in-the-dark yellow rave paints at some point.
And the Rotons . . . WOW. They look amazing and imposing, one with the canopy and one without. The Skelcons are neat (they need to do a two-pack of those, though). Main problem I have with the vehicles is the same problem people had with the Wind Raider: strange smears on them. Looks like the factory workers took it in turns to spit on the toys as they went down the assembly line. Definitely going to go over them with a warm, damp paper towel, I think. And I'm so glad they left out the clicking sound. That, and the cannons don't point straight ahead. They didn't place the sockets very well.
