Hi,

I'm new here was told if I joined this forum that I might get some help.

I am basically looking for a minature that looks like "Lone Wolf and Cub".

Basically I am looking for a miniature that has a unarmed Samurai pushing a baby cart. The male figure may or maynot have a weapon drwn.

Can anyone help me out as far as finding a miniature like this or possible one that looks like it?

Thanks for your time with this,

Mike ")

Welcome, mac4515/Mike

Some other questions for you:

How big do you want this miniature (what scale)?

Are you willing to make a conversion of a "similar" figure?

Have you seen this figure before or is this from the wishlist in your brain?

Lastly, and more importantly…
Are you prepared for the silliness you are about to unleash?

Just for reference, here is a link to a Lone Wolf and Cub set of figures (12" tall) that might be useful for someone recommending suitable figures:

LOL! I watched Shogun Assassin in the theater back about 1980. Serious grindhouse action made from splicing a couple of Lone Wolf movies together.

Haven't seen any minis which would fit though.

Perry Miniatures does an absolutely beautiful set of "Samurai fighting with swords in everyday clothing", set SAM43, in their The Age of Wars – Samurai Armies 1550 – 1615 line. One of those would make a great Lone WOlf, with the addition of a conical hat.

If you e-mail them, they might sell you just the individual figure that you need.

As for Cub, the carriage would be a fairly easy scratch-build out of plastic sheet, and you might find a suitable baby to occupy the carriage in a pack of Oriental civilians or villagers from the Perrys or some other company.

Good luck!
