Hi
curious that I've seen no mention of these figures anywhere on figure sites. even Jeff's site doesn't show them and as far as I'm aware he has never done figures in this size. I'm not sure these are genuine, the casting doesn't look as good as Alpine or Jeff's 120mm range.
The box looks dubious in that it looks like the 120mm box artwork reduced but not changed, note the 120mm text under his name. Knowing how bad the trade is in copying stuff where did you buy it from ? as far as I'm aware his figures are only available from his site.
Sorry, but at the moment I'm not convinced it's genuine.

Alan, these are indeed geniune Jeff Shiu miniatures. The news on these figures were posted on planetFigure some time ago and we did the story on Armorama as well: link
I didn't see the figures listed on Jeff's site yet, but I'm sure they can be ordered directly via email contact.

The MG34 is 7.92, but the ammo belts look HUGE!
