Better than I expected
My son received the Mystery Inc figures along with the Mystery Machine for his birthday. He's rough on everything. The figures have held up well. They have been used in the bathtub as well as in the Mystery Machine and have no scratches, missing limbs or other disfigurments.
They DID NOT smell bad to me. I think this may depend on the batches that were manufactured.
They are based on the New Scooby Doo characters. So, Daphne does not have her boots and Fred is dressed more modernly. It is true that Velma is lacking undergarments. But then again, it's hard to be ladylike in a plastic skirt.
The feet on these characters are hollow. This helps them stand upward. They do have trouble staying seated properly on the driver's bench of the Mystery Machine. They also have a groove in their hands to allow them to grasp a steering wheel or other object.
I am far more impressed with these figureines than I am with the Mystery Machine itself. I think they are a great value for the money. They allow imaginations to make up story lines. They have been durable so far.
I would recommend these to Scooby Doo fans. The figures are a bit primitive, but the kids seem to enjoy playing with them.
My kids love these guys!
I bought this set of figures for my 3 children ranging in age from 2-6 in Feb. 2008. We bought them for a family trip, something new to play with on the plane ride. I had read reviews that the figures had a strong odor to them, so I brought along a zip lock bag to store them in just incase they really did smell bad. They do have a pretty strong "plasticy" rubber smell to them. It isn't terrible, but after a while I did feel inclined to put them in the zip lock bag. HOWEVER, my children absolutely love them! When we reached our destination, I let them take the scooby gang swimming in the pool with them and the chlorine did seem to take care of the plastic smell. The gang does have several dings and missing paint marks, but the kids really don't care. I don't see paint peeling off any more, I think it was from scratching them on the bottom of the pool or banging them into each other. My chldren refer to this set of characters as the "pup named scooby" people as they have another set of figures that I purchased from ebay. I recommend these figures! My children have had countless hours of fun and imaginative play with them. They really do all play together- isn't that worth every cent!
FYI-They also love the van too!
Love These!
First off let me say that I almost didn't order these because of the reviews that they smelled but I'm so glad I did. The set that arrived does not smell at all, not even the smallest bit. We got them for my daughters 3rd birthday and she loves them. They are very cute and seem to be built well. The scooby is super cute, he is double jointed and has a button on the back of his head that make his eyes pop out. I would highly recommend these if you have a child that likes scooby doo.
