I am not impressed. While I am anxiously awaiting action figures of the Umbrella Academy family, these PVC figures aren't quite doing it for me. What I'm really looking for are figures in Gabriel Ba's style and in the same scale as Mezco's Hellboy Comic Book figures.
First the Points in Favor:
- The Spaceboy looks really, really good.
- They really nailed Spaceboy.
- Vanya looks pretty good.
- For the most part, the characters look like Gabriel Ba's artwork.
- Great packaging.
- They look pretty good for PVCs.
- Other than Spaceboy and Vanya, the other characters look pretty lifeless.
- Price. $40 is pretty steep for a handful of PVCs.

So - are you saying that you would not want this as part of your collection? Would you take it if it was on Clearance missing Spaceboy?
On clearance yes. Missing Spaceboy, I wouldn't buy it on clearance.
Of course, I'm running out of space and becoming more and more picky.
Plus, I really, really want a Spaceboy in the Hellboy Comic figure style.
OK, I'm warming up to this set. I think a lot of the reason I passed originally was my diappointment at not getting action figures or sculptures.
Detail could be improved, but they're PVCs and as far as price I believe $30 - $40 was the going price on the previous PVCs (Hellboy, Grendel, etc.) that Dark Horse has released.
