Yeah, this is probably my biggest concern. They seem brittle to me. Fine if you handle them somewhat carefully, but not as robust as the old D&D minis. I think I could have stepped on an old D&D mini and it would have been fine. Not so sure with the Pathfinder ones.
I feel the same. I only have a couple of these so far (Orc, Specter and Black Dragon) and the Orc & BD seem fragile to me. I know the old WotC minis weren't the best quality re: paint & sculpt but they sure could take a beating. I only have 1 mini that has broken over the years (a succubus that got torn from its base) although many more have been bent and stepped on.
Over all, superior plastics, but nothing compared to painting your own.

Also I will never understand why in every single thread talking about pre-painted minis there is always someone who says they can paint better looking minis yourself. Of course you can! Everyone knows you can do better yourself - that isn't the point of pre-painted minis. The time and effort involved in painting your own minis outweighs the time and effort of pre-painted minis by about a factor of 10 000. That is the point.
