I think investing in a pro-level painter would have been a very good investment.  I assume they figs look pretty good, but I really can't tell.  Honestly, I'd rather see an unpainted inked figure than a pant-job that obscures the mini.

Reminds me of Mega Minis.  I loved that store, but there were alot of great figures hidden under poor paintjobs in the shopping cart.  You can imagine my surprise when my buddy showed up with these riders

and tells me that they were from mega minis, and my disappointment to hear they they were no longer available!
How many other sales do minis companies lose by putting bad pics in their shopping cart?
