I had time this week to paint the Gargoyles I recently purchased from the Dollar Tree's new line of Halloween scenery. See my thread here TMP link for more details. I bought two sets, one to use for 28mm gaming, and one to use with my 10mm armies.
Overalll, they are not too bad. The sculpting is a little rough, but hey, they were only a $1 USD so I can't complain. The other problem is that their facial expressions tend towards the "cute", which I found hard to disguise with paint.
Below they are shown with a 28mm Reaper Paladin
Here they are shown with some 10mm Warmaster Skeletons
A couple more photos on my blog:

Three for a dollar?
That is more than I spent on Minifigs in 1975! |

Then your perspective on figure price inflation is not as skewed as mine. But seriously, Chris…
At least you didn't have to destroy anything here.  |

Ain't they just the cutest little gargoyle you ever did see? |

True, John. But disassembling toys is half the fun! And, I'd say these are sculpted and cast about as well as your 1975 Minifigs. :) Perhaps all that cuteness is a trap, Walt. Just like the little aliens in Galaxy Quest. :) |

Sometimes the worst ones are the cute ones.
Remember, the Stay-Puft Marshmallow man was smiling as he crunched through Manhattan. |

I have to go find them, I love Gargoyles. |

Looks like they just need a little greenstuff to give them some "angry" eyebrows >:( ;-) |

I grabbed a set of those myself, want to use them to guard an entrance to a cave. |

Sure, Gargoyles. You think they're cute until they rip your head off! |
