This review is of a 2 figure set from Alpine Miniatures. Sculpted by the talented hands of Yukio Honma this kit is comprised of 2 figures recently released as single figures and now offered as a set.

The figure set comes in a sturdy clear plastic box with each figure sealed in a zip lock baggie. A complete color guide photograph is also included.

Above are all the parts out of the bags for inspection. Each figure comes with 2 optional heads giving the set a total of 4 heads to swap and change around.

First Figure

Above you see the fine detail Yukio has sculpted into the torso. Each head dry-fitted into the neck socket perfectly. I could not find or see any seam lines.

Again you can see the clean crisp detail Yukio has sculpted into the torso and the virtual flash free casting of Alpine.

Conclusion:
This is my first time to examine Alpine's 1/35th scale figures and I find them to be beautiful castings with only the mold blocks on the arms to remove. The amount of detail is amazing in this size of figure. Highly recommended.
