Boss Fight Studio is now up to Wave 7 of their Series 1 Vitruvian HACKS (Greek mythology) action figures.
I held off on buying the "Cursed Skeleton" from Wave 5, because I didn't really like the color combo (looked too much like something out of Scooby Doo cartoons), and the way that the skeleton looked kind of clunky wearing ill-fitted armor. The armor would look fine on a BFS human male figure, but it didn't look good on a skeleton.

The paint wash can be heavily applied in some places. I found that the wash made several of the joints very stiff, and I was unable to get much rocker ankle action. The armor was already placed on the skeleton at the factory, which is a good thing, because it is not very easy to remove any of the body armor. Any attempt to do so requires a soak in hot water and the removal of limbs before removing the armor.
Considering that this deluxe Warrior Skeleton cost me only $5.00 more than the standard, unpainted, unaccessorized standard skeleton blank, I'd consider it to be a good deal. BFS is, at this point, re-using figures and parts repaints and recombining them into new characters, but they are doing it with considerable thoughtfulness and design savvy. The end results can be spectacular. Recommended.
Armor that fits properly makes a big difference |
