A 15mm hard plastic sprue (25-30 figures per sprue) is available for pre-order at Wargames Factory: "The Ikko-Ikki, or single minded league were a fanatical sect of religous
rioters in Japan during the Sengoku Jidai, or the Age of Warring States.
They took over entire provinces and controlled daimyo and influenced the
shogun. They were a constant thorn in the side of Oda Nobunaga and
defeated him several times in battle, killing his brother in one.Though
many Ikko warriors were actually samurai, the bulk of their armies were
made up of peasants or ashigaru. This sprue is representative of the
majority of the troops. Since their are plenty of 15mm samurai already
on the market there wont be any on this sprue. 20% of the troops should
be in samurai armor, w/ spear or sword, and a headband. 20% should be in
minimal armor with spear or sword and headband. 20% should be in minimal
armor with a arquebus (musket) and headband. 10% should be with no armor
and a bow and headband. 30% should be in no armor with a spear and
headband. 1 Figure from this last group could be a standard bearer." link |

Peter Pig plans to release its Ikko-Ikki figures this summer. When design time comes, it would be nice (for me at least) if the WF figures were compatible with the Peter Pigs.

Of course, it has to be 15mm… :(((
Making them size-compatible with Zvezda would be too much to hope for… |
