It took a long time but it was worth the wait. I think they turned out great. 
I've have heard some people are really freaking out about these.
Like, Teela isn't painted exactly like the prototype and Tri-Klops' armor isn't as dark green as the proto. I don't get the complaints on Teela. The figure looks great. Very cartoon accurate and I like the molded in color light skin tone over the tan of the proto. A factory painted figure molded in colored plastic is never going to look exactly the same as a hand painted resin prototype. I can understand, but don't agree with, not liking the lighter green on Tri-Klops. The guys from Super7 stated the color changed in production to match the lighter green of the animation cels and it helped the figure stand out from the previous MOTUC Tri-Klops figure. Again, I can get people not liking the change. I don't get being that mad about it. It's not like the armor is neon green or something. It's also the same color as my vintage Tri-Klops figure.
I've followed how toy production works for a long time and I've seen loads of pics of prototype figures over the years. I get that things can and will change from proto to finished toy. It's the nature of the beast. It doesn't phase me.
The only issue I had with any of the figures is Tri-Klops visor was stuck at first and didn't rotate. I had to dunk his head in hot water to soften the plastic and pop the top of his head off. After snapping it back on it rotated no problem.
