Fair. They're not the hard styrene plastic or pewter of regular minis you have to paint, their made of a medium kind of plastic, slightly bendable, although not too bad. Their first minis were pretty mediocre, both in detail and in paint job. But the quality has vastly improved, they're latest stuff looks really good, several of the players in my weekly D&D group use the figs when we play. As an on again/off again Game Workshop mini player (Necromunda & Space Hulk were my favorites), I've found that in every mini game, after the first five minutes of play, you really don't even notice the quality of the mini or its paint job, no matter how good. The game takes over. And I will say that the WizKids games are fantastic in that they provide a very good mini game that plays FAST. My friends and I can get a huge (8-10 Battlemechs and lots of supporting troops and tanks per side) battle done in an hour and a half. All of the charts, tables, and calculations are taken into account with the click dial bases, very ingenious.

So to kind of sum up, I like them in the fact that even though they aren't GW quality minis, they look pretty good and I don't have to paint them, nor do I have to invest a ton of money to play a decent game. As a slightly older gamer with three kids to support and little spare time, I find that very attractive.
