Toshiro Mifune (Yojimbo / Sanjuro) - [Rocco / Yunsil] SCULPT WIP pg.10

[siquisiri]

Think this would work for a Rashomon version of Toshiro?

He was younger in Rashomon. Yojimbo was made 11 years later.

Brilliant work, love the weathering on the kimono and your paint job is top notch. You've brought him to life.

Hey guys why feet did you use?

Hey guys why feet did you use?

I got some from Dan Castro (Unleashed Viper). I can't remember now if it was a sales thread or I just got them direct... I'll try to dig up some info for you.

 

[dgrime]

THanks appreciate it

 

[Stevejack2]

Check this thread - he had some that were painted as a sock colour, or you could get bare feet. I think I used the bare feet for Zatoichi but my Yojimbo ones look different. Can't remember now which ones I used.
Check with Dan and see what he has available anyway: https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=173968&p=8861739&viewfull=1#post8861739

Wait, is it possible to purchase a HS?

 

[mstradford]

Really nice work! Congrats!

You should be able to still purchase from Rocco (unpainted) assuming he's still doing them.

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.

[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.

Is this figure still available ?

 

[Icedcoffee54]

Yes interested in both
