New limited-edition "Spirit of Seiko" collaboration with Nano Universe

Has anyone else seen the new Seiko collabos with Nano Universe? I think they're pretty cool, especially because they have a 12-hour bezel that also has the first 15 minutes hashed for diving. They can be had on Rakuten under $250 with the weak yen right now. I think they made 300 of each.

I think they look a bit cheap, you can get much better looking Seikos for that money.

These do have the new handwinding hacking movement, though.

The bottom 6 is alright. The 1st 4 looks like ice-watch to me.
Would I buy any, nope.

But at least they(Seiko) are trying to be a little fun and funky. No harm in that.

I'll stick to Grand Seiko though.

Apparently each of the first 4 represents a character from the comedic anime "Eagle Talon."
