I just received some of those Samurais and a Mtd Russian Uhlan. 2 of 5 Samurais Damaged, Uhlan damaged. Pretty sure they are not checked based on packing. I have emailed to see what can be done, I don't care about the price, but if they are obviously damaged from the factory, that is irritating.
On another note, I can tell you from recent vikings, IMO I believe there is damage occurring at the factory, on one, I could tell no one had ever opened it, i started gently picking out foam and came away with an ax handle. It was IMO again, obvious that the figure was put in the box, then foam jammed on top, thus breaking the ax.
The sculpts on most of the figures are very nice and detailed and realistic, but not sure if I am happy on packaging, I open up every one of them immediately upon receipt.

Update, I understand they are non warrantied and I understand why they are being sold at the price they are. Just be prepared for minor surgery if you buy them, but again, to be fair, they are being sold at that cost for a reason. I didnt understand fully the non warrantied footnote, but in the end, I can live with it and I get why they are sold that way.
On the Vikings, absolutely agree with the Foam as the issue. WAY too much and it is just stuffed in, cant do that with the detail of these figures, it is too much and is actually causing the damage (methodology)
