Larger than life.

Your customs are already making up my mind of how the far east looks like. :D

Your Asian klickys are always amazing, astonishing and impressive. ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/worshippy.gif) ... (http://www.gardenwargamer.com/images/worshippy.gif) ...

Hi Cheng

These look great!

Your ronin, though, could just as easily be called a samurai.  Actually, he looks pretty well groomed and well-dressed to be a wandering ne'er-do-well.

good to have you back Tim  ;)
do share whatever knowledge in samurai(s) with us.....most of us only knows whever is available only in English.  :P
 
....BTW...there's a new Asian head with unshaven chin in the 2009/2010 catalog....so if my wandering ronin does not find a master by 2010...I'll have to behead his clean face and stick this new one for him  ;D

How many Japanese figures have you now?  Ever thought of doing a scene with all of them in it?  (Maybe a couple of bonsai trees in the background too...)

oops...sorry Olki....I meant it as a compliment...painting toe nails on klicky feet!  ;D

and Dan....I've kept all my playmos in cartons (my shelves are down and the room is being painted....over a couple of 'free' Sundays....I work on Saturdays  :P

and I think I have maybe 8 of those western trained Japanese troopers wearing kepis for a Last Samurai enacment  :D

I dont have any bonsai(s) but the new red temple 'arch' and chinese roof from the 2010 zoo sets will be fantastic for backgrounds! :)

Heh, hey Cheng, in the early 1900s, Czar Nicholas of Russia visited Japan.  He visited a shrine, botched a courtesy, and a samurai shoved him or took a swing at him.  In another episode, a pair of samurai disarmed a 10-man (or so) Russian guard detachment to show their contempt for the soldiers' firearms and training.

Give us Czar Nicholas getting the boot from a man in a kimono!
