I've just received my set of these figures.
I'm speechless. (and that's just the speed of delivery) Mine came from Hobbybuy.com
The quality of the colouring is far superior to the hand painted Eishindo plastic figures. The colouring on these must be printed somehow.
As an etch they look terribly thin. But then again if I was scaled down to 1:450 scale just how thin would I be...

Yep, I got them from HobbyBuy as well. And they were in my mailbox seemingly overnight. (I wonder if they're confused at having a sudden run on such an obscure product.)
I suspect the figures are pad-printed, just like rolling stock. The only other alternative I can think of would be silkscreen, and I don't know if it could be this sharp--look at the blue collars on the crew. _________________ —David

I haven't had time to check this out, but I should be able to obtain them. Won't be able to do much about it until later next month. _________________ Darren,

Anyone notice these images posted on the Eishindo website of the three new figure sets? Yikes!
Since they're images, there's no way to automatically translate them. Anyone care to give us non-Japanese-reading folk an idea what's going on here? _________________ —David

I don't need to see those...
I thought I had enough figures with that etch of 180 from Eduard...
I'm going to end up ordering some I can tell...

I did see those a couple of weeks ago. I'm guessing that the images show larger scale figures that the T scale ones have been reduced from. Actually, they look very much like the poseable nude figures from Preiser. _________________ Darren,
