Surprisingly good quality for the price
Good value for standard monsters you need a lot of, like kobolds, goblins, orc, gnolls, undead....you get 4 of each, so I might buy a second lot, as these grunt-level monsters usually appear in a larger horde than 4. The monsters are nice and standard, without weird creative additions (eg: "goblin riding a fish and wielding a garden rake") that would make them useless. Scale is perfect, with 1" circular bases for medium (and small--goblins and kobolds are to scale, but still have a 1" base). Plastic is neither as fragile and brittle as 3D printed figures (which I regret having spent so much time painting, as many of mine are now broken) nor as bendy and warped (and expensive) as Reaper/Bones. Detail is maybe not quite as minute as Reaper/Bones, but still much better than I thought it would be at this price. In fact it may well be as detailed. You would need a magnifying glass to tell the difference. Haven't tried painting them yet, but for several (gargoyles, troglodytes..) they might not need much more than a black wash, as they already come in a grey shade of plastic that is pretty close to the color they are supposed to be. In truth, I'm pretty surprised this doesn't cost more, as other figurines I've bought at only a little below this price point have looked like melted wax and/or been off-scale.

Cheap but good
These minis are well cast and the selection is great for any GM who wants some old-school regulars. Some were bent a bit out of shape, especially the larger stands, but it's easily fixed with the hot water trick. Good, cheap minis. Very well scaled for 28mm.

Lots of good quality minis at a good price.
I'm a professional DM. I use these for DnD games with the kids I DM. It's a good amount and varied bunch of minis. Liked it well enough to buy the other set from this manufacturer.

Mixed quality, but overall great + DRAGON!
All of the models that came with this were in great condition. I often worry about boxes of minis risking damage to some, but these all arrived with no damage. Most of the creatures there are 4 of each which makes for setting up a good battle field and doing some diverse painting schemes.I did find several of the models had excess flashing from where the injection molds bled out. This is easily trimmed away with a hobby knife.Details is actually rather good for injection mold minis. I feel like some parts could be more defined but overall these are a great value.I got them to paint with my kid. I let her go kind of crazy with the paints then I either hit them with varnish or do some minor touch ups, like adding a wash and dry brush to them. It makes for some really unique creatures that can have fun stories behind them to fit their design. Also, brings a smile to the table when my kid gets to see her work on the table. I'm looking forward to building out a collection of minis painted by her.The dragon is being saved as a prize for my daughter to paint. Not sure what the scenario will be for her, but I know she's excited to get the big dragon at some point.

Good for the price
Some models lines on the models, had to fix a spear or stick by running it under hot water. For the cost these are pretty decent models to have if your going to run a fantasy setting.

Good deal
This is a great box of minis. Pretty detailed and the price is good. I’ve tried to buy some of these separate and was well over this price. It’s a good deal.
