      Verlinden's 120mm line suffers, like most of their figures, from a lot of fundamental issues. Scale is often off - one guy will be huge and the next a midget. Proportions can be really off too with stumpy legs, oversize heads or hands, etc. Some of their figures are not bad, but its VERY hit and miss.

      One thing you have to watch out for on eBay are recasts. Thats when someone buys a real name brand figure, makes a rubber mold, and sells pirate copies. The copies usually are washed out, don't fit as well, etc. If you got a figure that just came in a bag or did not have the original package, then its probably a recast. If you did get an original figure, its probably just typical Verlinden... overall pretty mediocre stuff.

      I will say that Verlinden pieces are usually very well molded; I will give them that.
