Good figures for the price
Let me just preface this by saying that overall I'm not a massive fan of a lot of the Reaper bones figures. A lot of parts and details end up being so exaggerated they just look wrong. These figures however, I found to be quite good. There proportions are good and they really have decent details. I use them for various things. I bought a couple of them to use as proxies for St Luke in Dark Age & a trio of them for Cougar exosuits for Starship Troopers. They also look extremely much like the Terran Marines from Starcraft so if you're looking for a good proxy for that look no further. My only real complaint about these is that there's no weapon options for them. They come with separate hands holding their rifles so would be extremely easy to make them have different weapon options but Reaper did not do so. There are five different versions but all five are armed identically with the exact same rifle.

Excellent Value
Having been gaming for about 25 years now I've had experience with a lot of different types of mats from flimsy paper two cardboard to mouse pad material to vinyl to felt. This mat is an excellent value for the price. Not only is it located in the United States which is a massive plus for shipping but the shipping is very reasonable and extremely fast. In addition the graphics are quite excellent, very useful for many different eras, scales, & genres.

The Best Interpretation of Heinlein
Contains some spoilers.
The Starship Troopers franchise has been plagued with movies that are either not bad on their own or are just plain horrible. However very few of them have actually captured the essence of the novel that they are based upon. This is predominantly due to Verhoeven never even reading the book. Roughnecks actually tries its best to be a good interpretation of the novel. In addition the ridiculously over-the-top politics and propaganda of the live-action films is gone. There is still some propaganda shown when it comes to the fednet broadcast talking about the progress of the war but this is mostly done to maintain morale back home because the war is not going well. The characters are far more interesting than their live-action counterparts and we do not see Johnny Rico become a hero just because he's lucky. There are characters you love and characters that are assholes. Even the episode where they introduced the cybernetic Trooper CHAS the character was well written & showed development. I still get chills whenever I watch him turn to the squad and yell "Roughnecks ho!" before his death.
You experience the changes in the different characters as they grow throughout the series. You get to know them. Even the brief story about how Lieutenant Razak lost his hand is poignant.
Definitely buy this if you are a fan of the franchise as it's meant to be. It will speak to you much more then those movies with that dbag Casper Van Dien. Although there's no Dizzy boobs. So if you want that it's not here heh.
