I know the box says 1/56 scale, but in the video, when the reviewer's fingers are near the figures, they look like 1/48, or at least in the range of Tamiya'a 1/48 figures, (whatever they actually are.) The detail is quite good, and there are separate heads, arms, etc. Thoughts, anyone? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N4XDJYAu0SA

Nice find Steven! Someone needs to compare these to the Tamiya guys. I've blown my model cash for awhile so it won't be me. That's a lot of figures and gear for $20 (30-40 i think it said). The faces and most details look good. They will probably look even better with some Tamiya/other bits mixed in.


US set too

Greg, I just found a box on Ebay for 24.95 with free shipping. We'll know how well they match up in a couple of days I guess

That's good! It will be nice if you can do a pic of them next to the Tamiya and/or other figures for comparison, and a ruler measurement. 30 figures should keep one busy for awhile. Good luck!

That's exactly what I'm planning. I'll use Tamiya, and Bandai figures for comparison.

The kit arrived,and the detail and sculpting are very good. There are some issues with proportions,but the good points far outweigh the bad. I'll send a new post with Tamiya and Bandai figure comparisons tomorrow.The results might surprise some
