Thanks.  Someone else said they were kits, too.  Definitely not the kind
of thing I'd want.  I don't have anywhere near the required skills to make
it look that good.  The little snap together Gundam models are about all
I can do.  :)  If I were going to buy something like that, I'd rather get
some sort of completely finished figurine or an action figure.

Wow, that much?  Why are the kits so expensive?  You have to build and
paint everything yourself.  Is it the material, is resin that expensive?
