I picked 'em up over the weekend while at Anime Central and they are REALLY well made! Each comes with a variety of accessories (Nakoruru, for example, comes with Mamahaha), switchable hands and arms for holding weapons and such(Hanzo even has a switchable unmasked head with a pony tail!), and the detail is nearly flawless! There are four in the set as far as I can tell, and they are all based on the SS64 art designs: Haohmaru, Nakoruru, Hanzo and Shiki.

The only complaints I have are that they aren't poseable enough and Haohmaru's bangs are WAY too big <IMG SRC="smilies/smile.gif" border="0">! Overall, however, they make tremendous showpieces and are a great addition to any SS fan's collection.

I'm sorry my review can't be more detailed but the figures are at home and I'm not, and I haven't opened them yet so I'm not fully cognizant of the more detailed specifics <IMG SRC="smilies/frown.gif" border="0">. Anybody else out there get these figures yet?

I got a set of these as well. Once I get back into town (work trip) I will try and take some pics and post them to the web for all to see. They're pretty cool. I agree that they could be more articulated. Hanzo is by far the most posable. They are better than the McFarlane "statues" though.

I also thought Haoh's bangs were too big as well, if only because they cover up his face a bit too much.

i got mine at my local comic store (bedrock
city). i did'nt even know they existed
till' i saw them-haohmaru, nak, hanzo and some other chic. they look great (the box says 1/10 scale) and i'm hoping they release
at least one more series with k. genjuro in
it. he's my faVE.
it'd be cool to see ukyo and basara as well. if you guys can find these figures, pick em up. they kick ass!!!
