@mage Those are hard plastic and just need mould lines removed and the fit is very good.  Perhaps some of the initial sculpting could have been smarter in terms of how the miniatures were designed but other than that, these were pretty easy to work with.

The above is a PVC (Plastic Resin) like material – or what people have nicknamed “restic”, and it is the material that most people complain about.  The only real mould line on these were on the actual rats, very little to clean on the vehicle.  The driver needed a bit of hot water treatment to get him to fit properly.  The RRP on the above is £9.99 and it comes with alternate arms for the guy on the base and an alternate weapon on top, so it is very good value, in my opinion.  The newer releases in this material are actually really good but some of the early ones, especially those that came with the first KoW Kickstarter can be time consuming to work with.   If you aren’t confident or good with a craft knife, then I could understand why people would complain but it is a good material for the price but you have to invest that little bit more time (and sometimes skin in my cases when I superglue my fingers together or to the model).  Like every material in this hobby, has its advantages and disadvantages.
