So my Taobao order came in recently, and I know some anon was asking about the face recasts, so I'm gonna toss some words out about that.
-The nude body that's up there is very nice, the painting and sculpting are really well done, with some slight variation. I bought two, and it's a very ymmv situation, since it's just someone making them in China. Possible problems include: the neck joint may be shaved too closely for the head to stay on, the sprue that the legs are put on may be very tight, or some mild painting errors, but these are probably solvable with putty and sanding, respectively.
-The faceplate casts without eye indentations are very high quality, they feel and look almost identical to the actual plastic from the kits, with some very slight imperfections. They are also packaged and presented well, overall they justify the higher prices that they're listed for on Taobao. My only complaint is that smiling or laughing faces aren't offered by the seller.
-The faceplates with the eye indentations are lower quality, they feel slippery and are not the right skin color OOB, so they'll require paint (FA:G paint soon though so). They still fit snugly into place, and the fact that happy faces are an option makes them worth it to me. If the eye indentations really don't work out, I may try putty+painting to smooth them out.
