Ok…let me 'splain… I want to find a figure that looks like 'Chris' (Yul Brunner) from 'Magnificent 7' and a 'regular' Samurai (Ghi?) with sandals…NO 'armor'…just the two 'swords and hair in ponytail/bob? at top, like from '7 Samurai' movie…(which was inspiration for Magnificent 7 movie)… I've looked at Reaper's cowboys and samurai…and orientals have too much armor, etc…and 'Chris' from Mag 7 just had black shirt, hat, jeans, boots and gunbelt..same outfit for sequel and also Westworld/FutureWorld movies!!! Can anyone 'help' with suggestions? Slishfully,

(a Wyatt Earp in black outfit as seen in 1957 Burt Lancaster flick would be nice as alternate too) |

Do You mean You want a bald cowboy?
I would find a bald head and swap it with the cowboy.
For Samurai Perry or West Wind should have what You need. |

I picked up a set of the heroes from Seven Samurai. It has been quite a while (and they are not yet painted), but I think I got them from 1st Corp. Kingsford also has a very nice line of Samurai. I picked up a couple at the Cavalcade booth at CW. The heroes pack had a couple of non armoured traveling types (one with a baby cart (of death). Not sure about cowboys though. |

I think Old Glory did a set of the Seven Samuri a while ago. |

I'm looking for the 'basic' Samuri figure…(john belushi type from SNL? a 'bathrobe' outfit Ghi? and sword) and Yul Brunner's character was 'bald' other than his hat…but he didn't take his hat off, (much) during the movie as I recall??? But he wore boots, pants, shirt, hat…all black and had a gun/holster…very BASIC…no 'vest' or other stuff like some of the cowboy sculpts have… IF nothing else, I can always find a Bronze Age 'generic' 32mm male blank in the 'pose' I want for each figure and 'green' on the outfit…Reaper's got hats and weapons… Slishfully,

Dixon's ronin line of Samurai figures are unarmored with bathrobe type atire. I have quite a few.. but I agree. The Kamishimo and baggy Hakama pants look great for an unarmored Samurai or Ronin looking for trouble as were to be found in the Seven Samurai or Magnificent Seven. |

Ursula Andress Great movie. All the Samurai and western genre rolled into one. |
