Comments from US buyers -
-The gorilla head has holes for the minifigure's eyes to show through and there's a zipper printed on the back of the torso.
-The hulu girl's skirt wraps around and is made of the same material as the capes. It doesn't come together at the ends as well as I'd like.
- The samurai has a very cool floral printed robe under the armor.
- The back of the chief's headdress is black where his hair should be, not white like the old Wild West headdresses.
-The speakers on the boombox are actually round with texture, not just printed on - really cool!
- The elf ears are part of the hairpiece and they're AWESOME!

I am told the "gorilla" is actually a man in a gorilla suit, & when the head comes off the gorilla it shows the head of the man & it looks all sweaty!!
