Some good and bad news!

Fighting Ashigaru with Fan Shaped Sashimono (not incl.)

The Fighting Ashigaru (SA-027) set is in, but one of the poses has not come out properly. The scabbard is severely bent. It can be bent back into place, but this often results in it snapping off or being very weak. Therefore, I have asked the caster to redo that batch. All the other pieces are fine. It could be a few weeks before I have the replacement part.

More good news!

The sculptor is working on Standing Ashigaru with Arquebus (Teppo) as we write. I have asked him to work quickly, because many of you need these pieces! It will likely be about two months before they are commercially available. Work-In-Process photos will be posted when available.

Even more good news!

If the sculptor has time, he will sculpt two more cavalry pieces. These samurai will have katana instead of spears.

We would love to hear from you and to see even more photos. So send them in. If you are looking for inspiration, just check out what customers have been doing with our figs in the gallery sections of the website.

That's it for now!
