My Reaper Bones Kickstarter arrived today. Shitload of stuff, as expected! Each individually baggied, and took a lot of time to unwrap.
They are all in one piece, except the gryphon, which needs wings glued on. In spite of the single molding, detail is quite good due to the soft plastic. Several that I am looking to shanghai into pimping my new prototype.

What he said. Ugh. You dick!
Geoff, let me ask this: what about the plastic? The PVC is a vast difference in flexibility and durability over resin - what do you think about the model detail level, the plastic quality...the nitty gritty, so to speak?
They don't need priming, but do they need to be filed, have flash removed?
There was surprisingly little flash, actually. Some features I thought were flash turned out to be dangling cloth or other model parts - which gives some idea of the thin wall they can control with the process. And I thought that the detail looked pretty good, but not up to some of the latest resin pieces from Spartan. I haven't gotten any GW resin parts yet.
Biggest issue was straightness. Any thing that was sticking out was bent - swords, arms, etc. Mainly due to the way the were in the flexible plastic bags, but just about everything has taken a set.
It's soft enough though that some warm water should easily allow it to be bent back into shape.
One thing that may actually get me to paint some, if not most, of these bad boyz is that there is so much variety that I'm sure that whatever mood I'm in I'll be able to grab something off the shelf and do some painting.

Bull, do me a solid and give me your opinion on Reaper MS paints; how thick, how they flow, and most important, how they cover. I've got a fuckton of Vallejo Game Color and Model Color and I like them fine, but I was always a bit hesitant with them, like I missed out on something, by not getting Reaper.

The reaper paints are thinner than Vallejo, they flow smoothly but I find myself going over areas maybe one more time than when I use Vallejo.
