That's just one of the poses Bruce. They could be pointing out something on deck.

I don't know about you guys, but after looking at this pic (and yes it is a pic, and not the real thing, BUT), the wind is a bit out of my sails for these figgies....IMO, they're just too flat....Fujimi's and "holey-moley didja see DML's uber new 1/350 figgies?" just blow these away...what's your opinions?

I'm with you Mark, first sight of these left a sour taste,.. they look like thick P.E. figs to me. At least we have options.

I hear ya Frank...when this story first broke, man, I was stoked for Tamiya, and then the first images that came out of just the packaging, left us guessing still, but jeez, now....like you said though, another choice....
