Found a new figure source on eBay a while back. It's an outfit called "Outland Models". Here's a listing of some of their offerings on eBay:

I decided to purchase this set for a look-see:

The package came yesterday and today I had a chance to sit down and look them over. Here's what I found...
* There's a total of 19 figures in the 3D printed set linked above. (Not all are pictured.) A breakdown of what's in the set:
Male (all standing)
Figure 1 x 1
Figure 2 x 2
Figure 3 x 2
Figure 4 x 4
Figure 5 x 4
Female:
Figure 1 x 4 Standing in hoop dress
Figure 2 x 2 Walking in petticoat (lady of the evening?)
* The men measure about 6', the ladies about 5'6".
* Being they're 3D printed, there is some "texture" to them. That is, they aren't slick finish like modeled plastic. I didn't find it objectionable, and it may be an advantage in that once painted it will add some texture to the cloths so it doesn't look so much like painted plastic?
* The 3D compound is quite brittle. Care will need to be taken to remove them from the printing base without breaking. I immediately broke the legs of the first figure I started cutting free.
* You will have to leave some of the printed base material to use for the boots on males and shoes on the females.
Here's a couple close ups of the figures I received:
In all, I thought it a good value, and the quality for the price is in above average. Proportionally they look "natural". The brims of the hats on the men are surprisingly thin. When seen in the typical viewing distance, they'll be great. (To me, no figure looks good close up.)
So, there you have it!
