Sculpts look a little soft by the standards of today. I like the two figured look though.

These look terrible for hand sculpted models, much less 3D rendered models. I'd be pretty pissed to see my IP screwed in such a sloppy fashion.
$10 per model is just icing on the comedy cake.

Personal attacks aside, can you refute that these are terrible, IP theft, and ridiculously over-priced?

Personally, I really love their style. Even large companies like CMON are notorious for getting much closer to IP theft than this project, and $36 for 4 miniatures shipped to my door seems reasonable (or as reasonable as miniature prices go). I think it's all a matter of opinion, not everyone likes the same stuff. Also, my apologies if the Zoidberg meme was upsetting

I thought that futurama response was more of a joke...
Either way, definitely IP infringement, but I'm not offended by the price or quality: neither are great, but they're a small company trying a thing.
