Samurai!

[WarriorOfToys]

I realised how long it has been since posting my last custom...
and since I have a few lying around the house I will show you one I am particularily proud of.

This is my Samurai,
An ancient warrior from Japan. They were extreamly skilled with a sword and bow.
Samurai were Japan's fighting force untill the era of gun powder reached its shores.



I will post more pictures soon.

That's a very, very good Samurai custom, WoT !!!

Hai, WOT-san...so desu ne! Ii desu yo! Ichiban!! (yes..very good...number one!)

[WarriorOfToys]

Thanks Richard!

Arigato Cheng-san!
Your Samurai customs inspired me to make this one.

That's a very good looking samurai, WarriorOfToys!

My only suggestion would be to switch his head to an Asian one and switch his broad sword to one of these:

Thanks!

I do not have either of these items, nor an Aisan head...
That is why he is not quite right...
But I am planning on updating him when I do get these items.

Hi everyone!
As promised, more photos!

The flag is held on with a Playmoibl clip:


Samurai were know for their horsemanship as well,
In 553 AD one of the Korean dynasties (Paekche) asked Japan for a large supply of bows and horses...
This indicates to historians that horse archers were now a large part of Japan's army.

I like the additional pictures and the way you've attached the flag to him is very clever.

Thanks Justindo!

I also have a rival for him...
This can only mean one thing! SAMURAI SHOW-DOWN!!!!!









I hope you like him...

And for those of you a part of PlaymoFriends,
It may be in you best intrest to look at the story section in the next few days....

[Justindo]

I like your other samurai too!  That looks like quite a showdown between the two of them!

[WarriorOfToys]

Thanks Justindo!
Since I am in the mood for making Samurai I made 3 more!
Here they are:



All my Samurai riding together...


A civil war!


Hope you like them.

You're starting to produce a formidable Samurai army, WarriorOfToys!

[WarriorOfToys]

Just wait Justindo, I am now hooked!
And I also have the money to pay for my new Playmo addiction!

I have some guys picked out that I am going to start buying,
And slowly but surly start transforming into Samurai!

Soon I will have a MUCH large Samurai force.

And to add to my growing Samurai force...
A Japanese soldier!
Another scene, and then some close ups:






Hope you like him!

[Justindo]

Very nice additions!
