Questions about Favorite "Paint the Dinosaur Figure Soft Model"

[ITdactyl]

Hey team,

    This is for those who own the "Paint the Dinosaur" soft models by Favorite.  Are they made from a different material?  I'm also curious if they're really that easy to paint.

Got a message from a friend who's asking if I'd be interested in a set (out of the box) that doesn't include the watercolors.

Not sure if they are the same or different from the painted ones, but I used primer on them before painting. I used Bosny though, the paint seemed to hold well.

I personally didn't not touch this series in person yet but there is one who owns couples of them informed me that the material is not such an oily surface like the painted ones. This helps the colour sticks on the surface easier. Anyway, I also prefer primer before painting to make sure.

ah, thanks for the feedback.  Domo Arigatou!

I asked because his price for the set of unpainted figures is around $10 higher than a set of (out of the package/card) painted figures.  I got curious if it's made of a different material that's really paint absorbent (given that Favorite seemed to have included watercolors in the original package).
