very very quiet...everyone preparing for holidays ? :D
....finally added some colours and changed their helmet 'horns' ...
looks like i've gone overboard with this custom but not a drop of glue used and everything is reversible...should there be suggestions to further improve/correct them ;) l
MERRY XMAS EVERYONE !!
-
Cheng they look great. I really like the guy with the white and blue flag on his back ;D. You also have a Merry Christmas.
-
They are fantastic!! :D
Very imaginative use of parts, cheng, and a real inspiration to others who prefer not to use paint and glue on their custom figures! 8)
Wish you a very happy Christmas, too! :-*
I think it will be slightly quieter here during the holiday season. (Even our 'unwelcome visitors' seem to be winding down a little! ;))
-
Terrific!!!!!
I didn't love very much your first custom fex years ago now. But I must say,now you've got many knowledge in customing playmobil. I'm impressionned by your japanese like by your chinese.
Your new samuraïs are very great. They looks like playmobil toys.
Thank you very much for these products. I hope se much more asian playmobil soon ;) ;D

Hi cheng,
Great banners!
I also like the helmets, and the cool hair on the guy on the left.
Wonderful figures! ;D

Hello, Cheng ...
In my opinion, these are the BEST customs that you have ever made !!!
I really like them a lot !!!
The banners, the figures, and the use of Playmobil (and some non-Playmobil) parts have really come together to make some very convincing Samurai warriors.
Thank you very much for sharing.
Seasons Greetings and all the best,
Richard

Very cool.
The top knots are a cool idea and the helmet decorations look very good. The banners always looked good. I think I'm going to have to steal some of your ideas :)

my thanks to Panos...he gave me the top not idea ;)
youre most welcome to join me....i've learnt so much from you PM-lovers these last 2-3 years...sharing my 'inventions' is my 'repayment' to you all :)
and Richard....WOW.....and to think these guys only occupy a modest half of my narrowest * highest ikea shelf...i shall pay more attention to them from now on
and elkurgan,
i shall look out for this show 'Ran'...is it in english? is it an old black&white movie and not a TV series? (we cant get samurai shows here because nobody is interested anymore...i do have 4 or 5 titles and the costumes and hair-do(even kabuki-styled) are magnificient ...
HAPPY NEW YEAR AGAIN GUYS!
-
Absolutely magnificient!!!!
I almost went to the cellar to check on my lego samurais and a bottle of glue. But I resisted. Not another theme to work on.....yet.
Maybe somme goog "news" for those who are interested in the far east.

da Hugh's response to Svea's post ...
And yet, they soon get bored, their weapons get rusty, their nags don't want to charge, terrible, terrible.
No easy life, war, pillage, conquer, gather the plastic gold and jewels.

GREAT RESPONSE, da Hugh !!! ... ;)
All the best,

Verry good!
Your sashimono (back banners) are great like your figure. I love them!

That was a very interesting thread over on the other board. Chinese warriors would probably beat Samurai to the store shelves as a whole theme. I don't think Playmobil wants to make an oriental theme or they would have by now. I actually think the Seven samurai would be an exellent way to get a japanese warrior out without committing to a whole theme. I guess that's copyrighted, but they could do something like it. Pirates and Knights are familiar to Europe and America so they will release and re-release those until the end of time. I love the knights, but come on PM, Time for the age of the Samurai.
I could rant all day this subject, but I don't want to get on a side trail. Sorry if I strayed too far already :-X (actually, I like Chengs idea for the seven even better after ranting just a little ;D)
-
Cheng - your figures are always good but this is the best thing you've ever done.
I'd always thought samurai were the one thing that couldn't be made from playmo figures. These are wonderful.
Am I right in saying that there's a warrior monk among them in the first picture? I seem to recall there was a famous one in the old stories (Benke?) bit like Friar Tuck in the Robin Hood stories.
-
hey thanks for all the compliments and comments!
and thanks Stéphane, I didnt know they were called sashimono(s).....Lego flags...anyone know whether they have a Lego DS....i'll go crazy ordering other compatible-to-PM parts!!! :P
I'm of course praying very hard that there will be at least an asian special in 2008 or earlier ;D
...all i need is his legs and then there'll be loads and loads colorful samurai armies :D (i started collecting again only after those judokas, ninjas and other asian klickies became extinct...so i dont own any, as you can see)
i hope someone will confirm that an asian theme is on the way (i was the first to unmistakably confirm that the Roman legs first posted in playmoboard were genuine...i dont know if someone else did that even earlier on another foreign board though)...and was i really excited myself after that....now i can only hope and pray again :)
-
hi cheng,
again and also from me, these samurai are great.
there is a kind of lego-ds, but i have no experience with it, ... yet.

thanks for the Lego website Michael,
i dont have anything to buy but looking through their parts list may trigger off some ideas and use for our PM customs ;D
cheng
ps. am planning to add 2 moresamrai(s)

cheng i can only agree with richard and the others, those samurai r ur masterpieces, i luv the details, the hair on the guy in the left! :o wow! the way u made the banners, the whole atmosphere, each detail goes with the other. very well done!!! ;D
