The packaging for this set shows the contents quite well. Very near everything you get in the set.\"MB<\/a>This is what you see when you remove the cardiac from the plastic.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

And everything sorted out.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

As you can see, all the weapons and accessories fit easily. I didn’t put the helmets in though.\u00a0\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is one of the figures with the armor off of it. It can\u00a0make for excellent custom figures if you so choose.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Orthogonal views of the figure. They are the same, with exception to skin color.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Showing one with the human head and the other with the helmeted head. The helmet can not fit over the regular head, so you have to pop them off and swap them, as shown.\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

These two NMPD Officers are ready for service!\"MB<\/a><\/p>\n

Summary:<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>The set\u00a0needs virtually no building. It’s simply a figure set with extra weapons and accessories. And that’s a good thing!<\/p>\n

Overall Rating:<\/strong>\u00a0I give this set 9.5 out for 10 medals.<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0This set has excellent\u00a0value. Having 2 figures is already $6-7 of the value. Add in the extra weapons, nades, riot shields and weapons crates, that easily make up for the $1-2 more and you’ve got a solid set.<\/p>\n

So why did I give this a 9.5 instead of a 10?<\/span>
\n\u2022 The only thing I’m not fond of with the NMPD figures are that the human heads have those glasses and hats on them. This is a personal thing though and did\u00a0not directly impact nor deter my decision to buy the set. I just want regular human heads without hats and glasses so I can customize other figures, namely Spartans, not wearing helmets.<\/p>\n

Do I recommend it?<\/strong><\/span>\u00a0\u00a0Yes, if you’re into the NMPD sub-line. Even if you’re not, the base figures being all black with exception to the heads and hands makes for great custom fodder elsewhere. The amount of weapons that come with this set can also bolster your armory.<\/strong><\/p>\n
