my 7 samurai(s)

[GaiusIulius]

another trivia....where are the 'horns' from?

Lego samurai stuff 

[Knightmo]

I'm going to guess those are Lego horns too.

I have a little lego samurai at home (I'm at parents house right now). I'll look at him and see for sure.

Also, There is an anime (japanese cartoon) out that is called "Samurai 7". It is loosely based on The Seven Samurai. The series is set in a sort of futuristic world. I bought it on principle, but the original movie and western adaptation are probably better.

Lego is right but maybe you never played with those themes...

sure I played Lego be4 Playmobil  and I just remembred it if its not the samurai stuff, I guess its the jungle them, I had only 1 ungle man but I somehow remember a horn which was fixed on the hair...am I right or just getting old? 

[Knightmo]

I checked my lego saumrai and yeah, they aren't the same.

I want to say cow horns but I don't remember any lego cows

[Fred Elliot]

good work...what about a 'samurai jack' figure...

[cheng]

thanks all!

hey Fred, i just learnt     who 'samurai jack' is (we dont have him on our local network)...hmmmm 
would you believe i have been thinking of constructing those overlapping what-u-call lapels/neck and their little tails...quite against my rules 
and their sandals too.

I watched the movie on DVD the other day and said that I tought Samurai were the one warrior it would be impossible to make a Playmo figure of. (My family are used to me making these daft statements).

It seems I was wrong!

They are super Cheng.

[Knightmo]

I watched Samurai jack and liked it alot until they showed the forces of good in that universe was a trio gods who posed as asian monks to give his sword power or some absurd gaggle of spiritual gobbledygook. Ick.

I think I may be missunderstanding the posts, but a Samurai jack figure has been done. Theres a website somewhere with lots of custom stuff. It's the person who did the elaborate Roman society with chariot races, baths, etc...

thanks Dan,
i too thought it was impossible to make samurais and thought about it for a long time 

...a Samurai jack figure has been done. Theres a website somewhere with lots of custom stuff. It's the person who did the elaborate Roman society with chariot races, baths, etc...

hmmm..sounds familiar...but i think one was ninjas with nunchakus or maybe you were referring to another with chinese civilians with a carrying pole or junk or something...i cant recall where too 
but if its really samurai jack or similar...i would like to learn something new too....there's always room for improvement  in fact i have been improving my samurais...not enuff yet

Well done! The monk is my favorite.
