Dino-Riders had all these figure packs - and I think they were beyond their time trying to cash in on the figures. These were 2-inch figures though, and despite their lack of size, they do have great details and paint, probably thanks to Tyco and their model cars.
The card is a typical card for the figures - the differientiator is a sticker stuck onto the bubble, so that the cards can be reused for any of the figure packs without too much difficulty. I like the fierce drawing of the T-Rex on the front, and the names of all the toys in the first wave of the toyline on the back.
Fire seems to have a repainted Sting head, but the body is slightly different. Mind-zei has a rather nice metallic silver finish on his torso and reminds me of a human Thundercats figure. The figures all have the usual 7 points of articulation. The sculpts look good and the paint brings out the details of the sculpt - see for example Mind-Zei's beard or the folds on Fire's torso.
Overall, these are nice figures, but I'm not sure kids will buy them on their own.

Whoa! I never knew these figures were released individually! I always thought they were packed with dinos.
