Last Munny for 2008

So here is my last munny custom for 2008. As you can see from my previous posts, I've been on quite a fuedal Japan trip for the past couple of months. Quite fitting that I end the year with a Samurai custom utilizing the Munny platform. This was done for my bro-in-law who is an avid supporter and colleague in my vinyl addiction. Everything is sculpted as you can see. The katana is actually the accessory that came with my first munny. I finally found a purpose to use it. There will be more to come in this platform for the beginning of 09'. Look out for it. Enjoy!

Samurai Dunny Variants

Here are 3 more Samurai Dunny variants that I've just completed. Just playing around a bit more on the Samurai theme until I start my Samurai BlindBox set which should come out early January. I changed the top knot idea for the last two because not all Samurais had top knots. Enjoy!Samurai Spearman with blue uniform. I kept the traditional topknot for this one but added a mustache. His spear is different from the previous retainer's spears.

Here is Miyamoto Musashi with wooden sword fashioned from a boat oar. This was inspired by his duel with Sasaki Kojiro on the island of Ganryu. I watched Toshiro Mifune's portrayal of Musashi to help get inspiration.

Jubei Yagyu is the 3rd of this set. He has a sword guard for an eye patch. There were many Yagyu Jubei's that I drew inspiration from... Ninja Scroll, Ninja Re-incarnation, and Samurai Re-incarnation.
