Anyone checked out these pewter minifigs?

I know it's not a licensed LEGO product, so I understand if a lot of folks don't like that.. because I usually shy away from anything not made by lego myself. Custom minifigs online have always bothered me. But I just came across this guy on Etsy who sells pewter minifigs.. and not just the standard but stormtroopers, boba fetts, ninja turtles, and 24 karat gold c-3pos. My eyes are on the standard, here's a pic: They're a little expensive at $60, and he says they shouldn't be really played with a lot because pewter is soft and will wear out, causing the head to get a little loose. Despite all these shortcomings, I'm still really intrigued by the idea of a solid metal minifig and I'm wondering if anyone here has ever dealt with this guy and if anyone can give me an idea of the quality of the product. I don't mind that it isn't made to be played with because I'd be buying it for display, and I just think it's a really cool item
