I recently had had the opportunity to paint up some of the Zenit Samurai and Ming figures. While the figures have nice detail, they are time consuming to put together the individual part (arms, weapons) and the casting make it a chore to fit the parts together. I'd like the opinion of anyone else who had the chance to get these. IMHO I would not recommend these to anyone building a Samurai army etc. there are others out there ( Perry for example) that don't take hours to put together even before painting. |

I think as miniatures they are lovely, and their fineness and poses perhaps dictate that they are multipart. I was put off collecting them as they seem to be fantasy figures that are 80-90 percent historical. Close enough if you aren't pernickety. Maybe I have that wrong, but that's the impression I got. And that's not a complaint- if the figures are designed for their game world, they have free reign. My own test is whether a Samurai range fits with Perry, since that's the core of my own stuff, (the figure building part wouldn't particularly bother me). So Zenit are probably not for me. But as a sculptor I really appreciate the quality of their figures. |
