"The first thing we must do is address your initial reaction to seeing the above figure images. Yes, they are made in a translucent plastic which makes them very hard to see and very hard to photograph, so clearly they must be painted before they can be used. To help you see what these figures actually look like, we have primed a couple of poses, and fully painted another, which you can see below…

I really wish these companies would ask me before producing a set ! A 1967 set I would buy but these are no use to me…

I've been following PSR for a few years, now. This is the first time I've seen any set get straight 10's, in their ratings, across the board! I am surprised the maker does not include a base, in the design. Otherwise, I am genuinely impressed with the quality of these figures.

They do, however, beg the question: what printer produced these lovely figures? Was it a consumer printer, and at what price range? Or, was it a high-end, professional-grade, 3D printer which no home-user can afford? They did not answer these very important questions. Too bad, as this is a critical element in the 3D printing market… Producing a high-quality, digital figure file for 3D printing is one thing, being able to turn that digital creation into a physical product, of high quality, is another matter! Cheers!

What are they wearing on their heads? It looks like they're going into battle in shower caps.

If you backtrack the company, Panzer vs Tanks, you will find they are a Shapeways company. $26.00 USD for 12 plastic figures. If no one else makes figures in this range that is probably a good deal. Compared to a host of other plastic moderns it is on the high side.

First time I see a translucent plastic set…

Agree about the bases…
