Looks that the end products have less details, poor paintjob (maybe is the photo) and things have been taken from the original bases....

What crap.
If the ones in the store looks like those I'll be passing on the entire line-up....what the hell happened to the original sculpts/bases/colors/etc.?
This will be my first product disappointment from SOTA if they turn out this way in production.
Yes, for SOTA, those are bad, very bad.
What the hell happened to Meg Mucklebones?
They look like cheap asian knockoffs ased on the originals we saw... LOL!
WOW
THEY SUCK BIG TIME!
I didn't have any "must haves" in this series, but I had some interest in Dog Soldiers and Legend. It now appears I will not be getting anything from this series.
Hope the Thing boxset doesn't have these same issues but I'm afraid these pics aren't a good sign.
...The Lovecraft line doesn't look any better:

I know both of the lines have been plagued by delays and problems with the factories, but come on. I'm sure fans would have been willing to wait an extra few months if it meant getting product that didn't look like a bootleg or Happy Meal Toy.
How can someone look at these images and believe SOTA is NOT in trouble?
Why compromise quality in order to make the Halloween deadline?
Why not really spend the time to make both lines what they should have been-- flagship lines for the new SOTA Toys?

It looks like they aren't even making Halloween, but stuff will be available the week or two afterwards.
The lovecraft line might be salvageable with custom repainting. Course it depends on what retail price we see, and how big they actually are.
I read more, and the BG Cylon doesn't impress me as much as I'd hoped.
Thanks MM4, I knew they were very different but seeing those it's astounding how sucky the new ones look in comparison.
