Certainly look nice, but do we get to see one running I wonder?    ;c)

Pricing is a little steeper than usual for Jin, or so it seems!?!?

I think this is the same as the unpainted version that when they 1st came out you could score them on ebay for well under $200.

Yes, the same as the unpainted version. He was trying some much less than authentic colors on these when I told him they should be red and black. Now paint the base and legs black and you'll have it right.
