Hi Everyone,

With Rocco's permission, I'm starting an interest thread for Toshiro Mifune's Yojimbo / Sanjuro character.

A previous thread on this figure seems to have died out but I am very keen to get this happening. If we can get 20 people interested, Rocco will start a sales thread and the project will go ahead. I will likely purchase a few heads for myself so even if the numbers aren't as high as usual there's a very good chance this will be going ahead still.

I have also contacted Yunsil for a quote on tailoring some Kimono outfits. Indicative cost is between $150-$170 for 20 orders, or $220-$240 for only 10 orders. This includes the tailored Kimono (top), Hakama (pants) and Tabi (socks).

Here is an example of what I'm going for with the clothing and head sculpt, based on an excellent one-off creation I saw on another forum by zztop:

I would appreciate suggestions for which body to use. Toshiro Mifune was approx. 175cm tall, though he was solidly built.

Please express your interest and I will add you to the list.

Interested in clothing set by Yunsil.
[Kimono (top), Hakama (pants), Tabi (socks)]. Cost: $240 for a small run, much less if we get 20 people interested.

** Just a point to add, I am new around here and new to the custom scene. If this project takes off I would appreciate the guidance of some of the more experienced members. Any advice given will be well received. I simply have a real desire to get this character made and I don't want to wade into any serious mistakes along the way.

Added. Ideally metal yes, but no weapons have been organised at this early stage. If the thread gets traction we can definitely look into commissioning a run.

Please add me to the list for both.

I think shadow fergo would be the best option for price wise as his work is great and at a great price

Neckless is a must for this one, his kimono is usually open with his arms tucked up inside. I am chasing suggestions for which body to use... He may also need a little padding around the midsection.

Added, thanks. I have put you down for interest in the sculpt + clothing, let me know if you only want to be added for the sculpt though.

Very interested in both.

Added for both, cheers.

Body wise , i love the worldbox body as is is hard plastic and can be easily painted , BUT!
ACI do a body with an Asian skin tone so may be easier that way.
But the worldbox in general is an all round better body.
Also padding is the easy part , but remember the clothes will need to be tailored around the body used and the padded stomach

I'm emailing back and forth with TORIBOX now about the outfit and working out the details. Thanks for your suggestions with the body.

I guess the other thing to keep in mind is that he tucks his arms into his kimono, so if you're posing the figure this way then any padding will need to be strategic so that it's not visible when the kimono opens up a little when the arms are tucked.

I think we have a bit of leeway because this style of clothing is very forgiving to different body sizes. As long as the kimono is made large enough so that when his arms are tucked inside it doesn't come out of the hakama, then there should be plenty of slack to allow for some custom padding without affecting the tailoring too much.
