Although at $45 a pop I'm not really convinced...

They are beautiful, but I'll stick to repainting the plastic Schleich ones.

The price seems fair to me. That trike, especially. The sculpting looks ace and they are quite big, so materials cost too, lest we forget.

they look really nice

however, in terms of authenticity, dynamics, detail and price nothing goes above the Tamiya 1/48 range

hard to obtain in Germany however...

You can get this very nice trike at Amazon for $13 US.  This is why for run-of-the-mill critters I'd rather repaint nice toys and save my big money for really gribbly minis that don't have substitutes.
