A few figures I like (zombies, weres) but overall a bit meh. RNStudios have produced better.

What scale are they?

I think the High Elves look great, though they could do with the Catchers looking more Catchery.
Ogres and Amazons don't do it for me.
Undead I find a bit hit-and-miss. Zombies and Wights are standouts for me. Not a fan of the Orc-like Ghouls. Others look nice but I'd pass them over.

I'll be going in for Soaren and Ramtut at least (I think the Ramtut model looks superb).

There made for BB....so..I assume the scale is 28mm.

Speaking of ghouls that look like orcs..this was a huge problem with the gw undead team. I know a few people who actually painted their GW ghouls to be orc catchers and they fit perfectly. Maybe RN is going for that look.

+1

In Addition:
I really appreciate alternative manufacutures' work. It helps to keep BB alive. But please: The positions must be clear... Otherwise it is (at least for myself) a no-buy criterion.. In this case, I cannot tell which one is a catcher and which one a blitzer :-?

As well as the Catchers not looking distinct enough (slightly less armour might do the job), the Blitzers' shoulders look crappy, the dragon horns would stop them moving their heads.
Apart from that, the High Elves are pretty good.

I like some of this stuff. Might chip in at a later date, namely zons and undead.
Edit, I'm now not so sure on my phone if I like the zons.will get a closer look at home, may just wait for a selection of these when they are released

I like the linemen of the elves, and the thrower, but I think the catchers and blitzers are so similar to the linemen (only different shoulders and kneepads) that I'm really thinking of getting them. Maybe with a different helmet and torso to make the blitzers more aggressive and the catchers more agile

25% of those I would buy. 25% of those I would consider. 50% I would ignore.

I really like the high elves, snots, and some of the undead. Not a fan of the Zons at all.

I actually like the basic design of the Zons, BUT what's with the animals? And pointy ears? I'd rather consider them as darkforrest elves...
And did anybody else notice the copycat on the longhaired ghoul (Darksider's Death!)?

Apart from that, I am also left with a very mixed feeling: some stuff is great (Snotlings and most of the Eternals) some things are okay (like the baisc design of the High Elves) and some things don't appeal to me at all (like the Ogresses and the animal companions).

I asked RN Estudio, and they replied that they're 32mm.

As others have said it is a bit of a mixed bag. I'm also very wary of putting up money just based on some images rather than pictures of actual models.

I like the high elves, though would prefer there was more variety of equipment to help differentiate the positionals. The snotlings work better as goblins and I can see they are designed for dual use.

Hate the ogres, looks like someone chopped the head off a dolls and stuck in on a he-man action figures along with the dolls dress and padded bra.

The zons have potential but am not certain about the differences in equipment and animals friends.

I do really like Ramtut and Zara is a cool model, though better suited to fantasy armies than BB.

The I assume High Elf team looks like a human team. no pointy ears and human proportions. Still, a nice looking human team.

Not a fan of Ogres in the kitchen, and why do the goblins have giant thimbles for hats?

The Newzons are ok, I would imagine an amazon team, a long training montage after being beaten up by Orcs and then these emerging on the other side.

Undead a bit too comical to fit with my other teams.

Badum...

...Tish.

It's a per brand thing, mostly.
