And Hyutantsugi as pawns.

Note that this particular set on eBay uses the frosted pieces.

Wow, I want this, thanks for the links.
I'll get the full color painted pieces version.

The best thing about the frosted kind is that they are solid through & through, without any paint to chip off, or be sloppily applied by lazy painters.

Look at Atom's & Uranium's mouths:

I think U's is painted rather poorly. I would hate to have a set that had sloppily painted pieces. <_<

This reminds me on this scene:

Kasparov, meet your master!
:wahah:

I remember Kasparov has already met his master: Deep Blue But I bet Astro could himself beat Deep Blue

That was in episode #27... In the English order?

That's weird, I don't remember that scene at all... :wacko: Maybe I've yet to see it.
