Hey, in Europe, the demons have faces on their backsides. I believe anything goes at this point.

What I don't get it the character wearing a basket on his head. They had the same sort of guy in Big Trouble in Little China.

He's a monk

A Komusō, an itinerant monk. The flute and the basket are characteristic. The headgear was taken advantage of often by ninja or ronin to travel in disguise. This lead to them being treated with suspicion by the authorities. Since an actual monk should know the difficult honkyoku flute pieces they were often tested by making them play a piece. link The two swords are incongruous on this figure; not a great attempt at disguise. Mind you its a fantasy game so the rules don't apply.

They're cute, and the artwork is nice, and it IS fantasy, but the pedant in me cannot abide the attachment of the sode in a couple of those pics. A strap at the armpit and another at the bicep? That's just silly. Doug
