I need a lot of people fast and cheap!

Reading the feedback the negatives seem to be mostly product complaints. Personally, I would not buy these without seeing some in person first.

They're fine for background people, although the colors tend to be on the garish side. Worth the price in my opinion.

Try the local bar.

Fleabay is the answer. Direct from China and the price is right. Paid with PAYPAL and have bought 100's of them over the last few years and all were delivered quickly without any problems.

Yes,they are background figures but for filling a city scene, they work out great.

I do the same as 3rail 2. Good for background, inside buildings ect. You can get sitting, standing or mixed. Here is a few for you to get the idea.

We have thousands of these on our layout   They come painted weird colors and don't have any faces but they are great to fill in around more detailed people

Another satisfied customer.  Quick shipment.  Repainted, they look fine.

They used to be even less expensive but in recent months the prices for the various lots have increased.  Still they seems to be very reasonable...

I have purchased these type of bulk people. Note that most people are standing.

I washed them with India ink mixed with water to tone down the colors. I also cut off the legs to fit them into passenger cars. can't see this from the outside of the car. I glue them down with clear acrylic calking, which has as much substance as you need to make them fit the mating surface, then dries clear for invisibility.

Price is so cheep that they serve well in the background or a few feet away from the table edge.

I would buy more if I needed them. Joe K

Well, I just ordered them.  We'll see!  I think will be fine for my needs.  Kids come over and play with stuff and tired of $5 people getting vacumed up.

I stick with known-brand figures I buy from my LHS and from various US shop internet sites when the LHS doesn't have what I need.  I suspect many of those cheap figures from china/indonesia/pau-pau/whereever are unlicensed knockoffs of legitimate business's products simply copied by mold replication without permission.  Whether they are or not, I spent more but I support both companies I know and like and various retailers here - all of whom I want to be here for me tomorrow.  

I still repaint a lot of them anyway . . . .  

we have a few hundred all over the club layout.  great when you need groups of people. 

Larry, are those the 1:48 in your picture?  I  have a lot of the 1:50 from several years ago and to me they are too small.

Yes.

I'll join the consensus and say they are great for background, or even to repaint into more detailed people!  You won't be happy with them in the foreground as they are (just as the others said) painted in 50s/60s style clothing and colors to match.  But for a crowd, indoors, or in the background they are perfect!  The seller "Webehonest" on EBay has always been cheap and shipped fast.  I have purchased at least three lots of these for background and passenger car passengers.  Many times I go through them and pick out the best poses and repaint a bunch in more modern clothing and they look good up front too!

Hi!....oh, I thought he said he wanted cheap people fast!

I have bought from them before as well. Can't beat the price, although I just use them for building or passenger car interiors and save my better looking, more expensive figures for outside or easily seen locations. They also have some decent park benches and streetlights. If you ask they will sell you packs of all seated people at a slightly higher price.
