Super tiny?@ he stands pretty much eye to eye with Hercules.
But then, I always regarded Hercules to be tiny compared to metroplex.
The only thing I didn't like about UT warlord was the build and plastic quality of every single figure.
It was a fantasic idea, marred by production.
Mine cost cheaper than the MMC and TFC versions but ultimately broke in several places after not much play at all.
They upped their game with Maniaking and everything afterwards, they are my favourite company now, but I can't recommend Warlord. I really don't believe it was built to last and kind of wished I got one of the others.
I don't really rate KFC at all but I did like the Igear minibots.
Hegemon and Maniaking are really good CHUG figures.
That's not a bad price for that lot in the OP, I would be worried about getting warlord again as a long term thing though. Out of all the combiners I've ever bought (apart from ko's) His quality is a bit off

 

Ugh all i hear is bad quality.


How much would Ares be cheap?

 

Warlord is unfortunately. Everything they have made since is so good that it almost seems like a different company.
If you get aries for less than £300, you're doing well.
Unfortunately, 3rd party combiners don't usually come that cheap and if they do, there is a reason :-/

 

Their are a lot of things in your list there I would seriously say do not buy them at any price. Imo their are far far better figures to spend it on, especially such a large amount but eh its your money.

I'd honestly not buy any of those things and instead spend it on something made by maketoys or mmc. Or heck save it for when the really amazing stuff starts coming out real soon and later in the year. This is the best possible time to be saving and waiting for the really really good stuff to come out.

Chief among my concerns of how you are intending to spend your money is by considering any predaking but MMC's. Neither UT's nor TFC's will give you as much bang-for-buck as mmc's does. As a general piece of advice, tf purchasing should never be about getting the best deal for the lowest cost, it should always be about spending money wisely on things worth owning above all others. Imo everyone would be better off with fewer figures that are much better than more figures that are much worse.

 

This. Exactly
