selling them unpainted mate to keep cost of making them down .
there's only the white for the whole figure and then a few bits to pick out in black , wont take long.
will post up pic's of the cabinet when i collect it all tomorrow.
looks like it is around the same size as the one's from ikea but will know more tomorrow.
can deliver it within reason.
