I recently received largescale seated figures from an eBay seller, ‘wft29’. Being used to the normal anorexic largescale figures one sees on evilbay, I was pleasantly surprised with these figures. They match for sizing and quality, those seated figures from LGB. They are more expensive than the usual figures offered on evilbay, but are cheaper than LGB. The range is limited to five figures only (two women and three men), but the painting detail and the quality are a welcome alternative. The seller, based in the United States, is very friendly and prompt with shipping (usually ex-China). Highly recommended.

Hey Tim - Nice to hear you’ve had a good experience for a change

Interesting range, am I correct in assuming a couple are ex-Preiser Tim? The women in this listing (second from left and second from right) look familiar:

Regardless, thanks for the tip!
