The picture I took doesn't do these dudes justice. A selection of three custom colored figures from the non-articulated Anomalies series, these cost a little more than if I'd gotten a standard pack and I only got half as many, but it was well worth it. The gold Adaman with the metallic paint job looks like some ridiculous bootleg C-3P0 and the rainbow Strugg has a psychedelic space-warrior vibe going on, but my favorite is the two-tone crystalline Laion. It's just entirely alien and gnarly. The other cool thing about these is the height. They may look like kinkeshi, but actually their more to size with Starcom and Air Raiders figures.
A little swag thrown into the order, I got a loose Seg Construct from the Hemic color series. Maybe it's just me, but I couldn't help seeing some resemblance to the Cifal from the old Fiend Folio. I won't even get into what a shit-ass monster that was, but if I'm ever in a situation to toss one into a game, I'm glad I have this wicked dude to tower above 25mm lead minis. Rad.
A picture of the Outlander figure is actually what brought me to the 481 Universe store and when I saw the Zeta Force variant I knew I wanted it, but upon it's arrival, I found myself pretty disappointed. Proportionally, the figure shifts from being super slender to comically bulky. It has trouble standing, as it is top heavy and the legs are slightly uneven. The articulation at the arms is weird, making a 45 degree bend above the elbow. Oh, and the face is all mashed up. Pretty big bummer, actually. For 10 bucks, I feel a little stiffed. Oh well, I'll still hit up 481 for their Anomalies stuff.
