Twenty minutes after opening them, they were back in their boxes and up on ebay.

I've read comments that the colonial marine figures were in a similar vein, so while I do appreciate the detail being incorporated into these tiny sculpts, I've just steered clear of them altogether because of that experience, which was tough because i Really wanted their Robocop releases. It's just not fun to play with toys that I'm constantly wondering will crumble to dust in my hands.

Yeah, I'm trying to keep my expectations low. I figure that if this is actually going to happen, I can afford to commit to a single wave and form my own judgements when I get them in hand.
