not really WoT :-[ because these are not uniforms, more like what you see worn by kung-fu men and soldiers in ancient chinese operas   :)

look at the man holding the gun.....the artist drew him wearing a 'side' buttoned shirt (like our playmo chinese prince special) but below his belt, his shirt tails seems to magically change to a 'middle-parting'  :o ::) :P ..... I'm sure the figures inside wasn't casted like this  :D  ;D
do you think I should have added cuffs to my boxers?  :)

thanks WoT but after they launched the first Roman legs, I have dreamed of working in Geobra's R&D for free, making japanese and chinese feet for all of us  ;)

(I think the feet for their new samurai special is only temporary like they did with their first Roman special...so I wont buy too many if I were you...but then if we dont buy enough, they may think Samurais wont sell well...so its hara-kiri with my credit card  :P )

Yes, The Samurai legs were not my favorite... :-\
But I will buy quite a few, because the armor is still very cool! ;D

I'm seriously thinking about a figure of General "Chinese" Gordon commander of the Ever Victorious Army.

haven't seen this painting of Gordon before...he looks tall for a 1900 Englishman...is he holding some sort of sword?
time i started using my many spare yellow torsos(one of my least used color) but keep in mind yellow was reserved for royalties and I guess the Qing empress had to kow-tow to him altho not openly  ;D
