They just arrived in the mail! I ordered the Bundle of 3 on November 18th and am now happy to add these to my collection of the previous three series of minis.
The case for Crookedstar & Mapleshade decided to stick to the one containing Mothwing & Hawkfrost when I got them out of the box. Which is rather fitting considering that three of those characters are RiverClan cats. Still a bit sad that the case for Tigerstar's second litter of offspring got thus ever so slightly damaged in the process though but oh well. No big deal.
Here they all are: Bluestar & Darkstripe (on the left), Crookedstar & Mapleshade (middle) as well as Mothwing & Hawkfrost.
I'm going to go more in depth with these shortly although due to the lighting being artificial and not natural daylight at this point (it got dark at 3PM here today), I'll probably take some more pics of these tomorrow when it's bright outside again (it snowed heavily yesterday and the snow was still there today).
Well then, here is my initial review! Starting off with an obligatory pic of my cat Momo being the first to sniff and seemingly approve of the minis.

As already stated up above, I will take some more photos and inspect my bundle of six minis further tomorrow (or for me it's later on since it has been midnight for a few mintues here already). I've already noticed that my version of Mothwing has a red dot in one of her eyes while my Darkstripe, Crookedstar and Hawkfrost have a few blemishes in the form of small dents and such on the back of their heads.
My favorites out of these are Bluestar and Darkstripe, which are also in a set together so that checks out for some reason, I guess. I do like Crookedstar's design a lot as well though. Meanwhile, Mothwing looks a little too dark and mean, in my opinion, while Mapleshade doesn't look dark enough in terms of her tortoiseshell patches (or is this just supposed to be her orange design) and Hawkfrost is missing his white underbelly while looking like he's got a white beard instead.
