I might describe these as revolutionary, in the sense that the arms are not like standard minifigure arms.  As you can see in the picture, the arms do not have a rounded connection (like the standard one on the right in the image), rather there is an indentation and an extra piece that has a small ball on one side and a rectangle on the other. You can see that the arms slot and the interior of the torso is different to fit this unique arm.  Once you insert the two-piece shoulder-arm component, the arm can now also rotate away from the body.
 
I found this very unique and while rotating the arm away from the body all the way looked a little strange, being able to subtly move the arm away from the body seemed very cool to me. This was a major reason for my placing a second order on this site.
 
Additionally, the breastplate printing, shield printing, and weapons were very nice.
 
The torso / leg pattern on the Black Falcon and Lion Knight are basically the same except for the emblem, and also similar to other figures (like in the VP111, etc. series). I wished the Lion Knight print had more red or looked a little more different than the Black Falcon one, although the breastplate does cover it up. Overall the figs are pretty good and the legs and arms aren't as stiff as on some other figs from the site. You can have the problem where the head comes off with the helmet, especially if the chest armor is on and you don't have the full length of the neck to help keep the head on when removing the helmet.
 
One odd thing on these figures, is the color of the handle that goes on the back of the shield included.  Yes, the handle has to be added (I've seen this in some other figs), but that process is easy and has stayed on fine so far.  The Gondor fig had dark turquoise, the Black Falcon had black, and the Kraken had blue (Lion Knight had dark red, so that was ok). I swapped these out to better match the color of the faction, but if you only buy 1, then the handle on the shield might be a little off color-scheme wise.
 
Note that the Gondor / Aragorn that was listed in this grouping, does NOT have the unique ball-jointed arms, just the standard ones.  So that was disappointing.
 
I wish they would have more factions in this style with the unique arms, I find these much better than the VP series.
