Well, this set seems to have been SLIGHTLY better designed than similarly sized Fright Knight sets of the same era, but the fact that it has Willa, and not a soldier, really wrecks any reason for me to get this set.
Parts: 5/10
Playability: 4.5/10
Figs/Accessories: 3/10 (an all-time low...)
Design (then): 5.5/10
Design (now) 6/10
Overall Score: 4.8/10

It was a $2 set, and for that price it is a good parts pack. I wish it included the witch's cape, and a head that didn't look stupid, but you can't have everything I suppose.
I wish they still made small simple sets like this.

I have this set,
The set itself is...well...useless? It just doesn't do anything for me.
As mentioned, the parts are cool: Especially the barrel, cat, bat, black triple 1x2 slope, and 4x4 grey plate.
I'd give the set a 5.5/10, probably.

And, I, suporting by being a kid that grown with Fright Knights, I loved this set.
