TonyK Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Cool! Always like to have plenty of figures to choose from.
Jim B Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Nice figures. I think it's kind of interesting that the guy in the blazer looks quite Japanese in one photo, and quite Caucasian in another photo. Different heads in the set? I like the scooter, too.
Snake45 Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 A selfie girl? Suddenly I'm no longer interested in any of these people.
Dale Gribble Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 I’ll be buying this for the scooter . I can’t recall the Vino being in any of the car kits or even the scooter multi set

fumi Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 This brings back a lot of memory from the time I built the original set when I was still in primary school. It is interesting to compare this new set from the old one. - Eventhough the boxart still shows a university, instead of the brats from prestigious university districts you now get everyday folks that are equally at home in Shibuya. - Tennis is out, VAN branded paper bag is out, the preppy look is out. Tapioca milk tea is in, guitar is in, selfie is in. - Instead of 2 guys and 3 girls, you get one guy and 4 girls now. The facial expression is also far better in this new set, I wonder they were modeled from 3D scans like the figure in the Toyoda AA and the ND Miata.
64Comet404 Posted July 3, 2020 Posted July 3, 2020 Figures look great, love the fact they included a gig bag for a guitar! Can see that ending up inside a few builds.

Dave Van Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 WOW...I have 3 of the first set......Those guys are in their 40's now!!! I'll get a set or two.
niteowl7710 Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 The scooter is a Yamaha Vino for anyone who's interested.
espo Posted July 4, 2020 Posted July 4, 2020 The little scooter and all the other accessories are just as interesting as the figures.

Tamiya has done a full run of 1/24 scooters . They were bonus parts to car kits, and available as a set of 4 . They also did a run of 1/12 scooters .... ask me how I know ??? it’s an obsession ....

It's the same with the hoodie girl, it appears.
Dragonhawk1066 Posted July 5, 2020 Posted July 5, 2020 I'm certainly interested in a set. One can never have too many figures to choose from for their dioramas.
alan barton Posted July 6, 2020 Posted July 6, 2020 If they come to Australia I will be getting a couple! Good to see a rather international approach to the styling. About the only thing I would foresee modifying is the long skirt on one girl - not something we would normally see around our streets. Everything else is very contemporary and the phone, as much as I hate to say it, is "on-trend" and the sort of thing that a non -modeller will get a big kick out of when they see it in your diorama. Cheers Alan
