SO, just finished assembling my MAA from my crazy Xmas Box, and I have to say I'm not seeing why the backlash against them is this bad.

They're definitely not the most detailed models Mantic has to offer, and there are a few small areas that are relatively flat/detailless, but overall I'm not seeing why the opinion on them is quite so negative.

I'd personally give them a 3/5, something I'd buy if they were on a good sale and I had some spare disposable income. Not something I'd buy immediately in bulk (a 5), or buy if I had disposable income (a 4), but better than a grudgingly-accept-if-given-as-a-gift (a 2), or would-return-immediately (a 1).

Were there some aspects to them that I'm missing that are the reasons people hate them so much?

10 years ago they would have been fine, but the bar has been raised quite high recently. Fireforge, Perry and Gripping Beast are offering suitable plastic humans that are of much better quality and far cheaper. There is really no excuse for releasing something this poor today.
