This tub blows the Safari tubes out of the water in my opinion. I am very satisfied with them, and have used them to make tabletop miniatures for roleplaying games such as D&D and Pathfinder. The scale on the miniatures is perfect to near perfect, though some of them are a bit off for what they represent. The paints jobs are mostly great though a few are lacking. One real pro for these figures is that their weapons are completely removable, making weapons swaps among them or with any other bits you have around really simple and a lot less work. Here's a break down of the figures inside and what they might be good for. - The hooded black knight is the best of them all. He looks imposing mounted and unmounted and makes a great blackguard/death knight. The paintjob is excellent. He stands just a smidge taller than the standard 28mm figure, which makes him even more menacing. - The red horned knight comes with a matching horse. The horse is excellent, but the red on the knight is a tad dull. He also looks better mounted than on foot. - The black and gold knight is excellent looking and so is his matching mount. His armor looks splendid and well detailed, and he'd be perfect as a champion or even a paladin. - There is a hooded skeleton pirate whith a large scimitar and flintlock. I removed his flintlock and gave him the dagger from the Minotaur. I also mounted him on the hooded knight's horse, since he fits on it. He's a little taller than the standard 28mm skeleton, and his legs are to far spread to fit comfortably on a 1 inch base. - There is another skeleton who comes with a halberd. I don't like him, as he looks flimsy and his hands are overly large compared to the rest of his proportions. If anything, chop him up and use him for parts. Easily my least favorite. - The Cerberus is really cool, has a simple but effective paint job, and fits on a large base very well. He can be a great hellhound or other similar creature. - The ghost is very big and looks silly. I have yet to find a use for him. I am debating making him a wraith by painting him black and adding some detail. But I still like him more than the skeleton. - The Minotaur is a bit small, but effective. He is nicely armored, and his war hammer is well designed and looks like it could do some damage. He does have a chest plate, but it is painted brown and blends into his skin, making it barely noticeable. You can paint it to give him more armor, or just leave it unpainted and it'll look like his bare chest. - Lastly the orc I originally though was really lame. He looks very goody and his staff is out of place. He is also way too big to be an orc. However, I found the solution of repainting him as a troll, in which his sculpt is a natural fit for. If you're looking for a budget troll hunter, this might be a good buy. Overall, this tub is a good way to get some cool minis that you could find elsewhere, but probably more expensive individually. The sizes are good enough and you honestly could go without repainting a single one. I bought this tub when it was $15, although I'd wait for it to get a bit lower to truly get your money's worth. As it stands right now, its a good buy, but not the best buy.
