Any help from your experience of owning a release of any of the figures from the line is appreciated

There have been numerous releases from Iron Studios’ BDS line. I myself have 30 BDS + 11 of their older pieces in the 1/10 scale. Plus a further 23 pieces on preorder from their BDS lines. So if I that many in my collection I wouldn’t be surprised if Iron Studios have released well over a 100 pieces from their various BDS lines.
Now as to your question on whether they’re worth it, only you can answer that for yourself. I myself collect many different scales, from these 1/10 scales, to 1/6 Hot Toys, 1/4 scale statues, 1/3 Prime 1 pieces, all the way to 1/2 scale statues and life size busts; all of which range from $100 USD to well over $2K USD.
So when I think about these 1/10 scales, I honestly think they’re pocket change in comparison..... that is until I add up how much I spend on a particular line and compare what I could’ve got instead. Like 1 Hot Toy instead of 2 1/10 pieces etc. Heck some of the more expensive BDS pieces now are not much cheaper than a basic Hot Toy figure.
However these BDS pieces come in dynamic poses with diorama like bases whereas a Hot Toy, while larger and yes more accurate, they can sometimes be bland in comparison because of their static like poses etc.
