OK, I give up. Are they models? What scale? |

John, Just go to the website (note, it would help if you could read Japanese!). - Jim |

From this page I would say models, they seem to make collectibles so they would appear to be gashapons, they are usually 1/144 or 1/100. |

They are 1/144 pre-paints with minimal assembly. I believe that Algernon was formerly called CafeReo, and did several heavy bomber series under that name. These should be nice, although I would rather have had Avengers than Helldivers, and I have plenty of Vals and Stukas already. Rob |

I did go to the website, and no, I don't read Japanese.  No scale, no price, no clue. |

Did you notice the English text in the upper right corner? "Our companies that make the value of Minority and sympathy." Huh? |

Scott, I think that's Engrish for "We are an equal opportunity employer." Google translated the web page Japanese-to-English for me. More or less. It looks like a new gashopon release of 1/144 dive bombers: Stukas D and G, Judy/Suisei, SBD Dauntless and SB2C Helldivers. Some subjects have been covered before, but none are currently in production. I'm delighted to see more WWII gashopon en route. |

Irv, did they list any prices in USD? |
| zippyfusenet | 22 Dec 2009 8:46 p.m. PST |
I didn't see any prices Matt. If this is a typical Cafe Reo release, they'll run about 4500 yen for a blind box of 10. I'll be watching Hobby Link Japan for these. hlj.com |

Thanks for the translation, Irv. I might have to pick up a couple of these. I'm a big fan of the gashapon planes. |
