Dark Ages Miniatures

Post by Stan Sakai »

I just posted the list of figures 7-12 in the UY line from Dark Ages Minatures. I'm not counting the Kitsune freebie in the first set since that is already discontinued. I am awaiting the Inazuma figure which will replace Kitsune 1. I'm refering to them as "sets" even though that's not really the case as they are, and will be, sold individually.

I'm not sure when the second round of figures will be available. They are:

Usagi-2
Kitsune
Tomoe
Chizu
Neko Ninja
Mogura Ninja

If there is a third round, it will probably include a bat ninja and Zato-Ino.

I just got my shipment of the first set of miniatures yesterday and that jogged my memory that the cast for the free limited edition Kitsune figure will be destroyed in about 10 days (on Feb 28). After that, no more will be cast.

It comes free with the purchase of the other 5 figures from Dark Ages. There will be an ad in the next issue of UY but will not mention the Kitsune figure. So this is like a perk for the Discussion Board members.

If there is a third round, it will probably include a bat ninja and Zato-Ino.
Assuming that round three also consists of 6 figures...
  • Bat (Komori) Ninja
    Zato-Ino
    Kenichi (with Bow)
    Lone Goat (Yagi) and Kid (Gorogoro)
    Bandit
    and
    Monkey Woodcutters
I really want to get Spot into that list but I think I'd rather have access to more generic figures Woodcutters/Bandits. Maybe Spot would make a better choice than the woodcutters because you can have good and bad packs of Tokage as well as Spot's two incarnations.

Lone Goat and Kid can double up as either good or bad guys (as well as being a sneaky way of getting an extra figure into my six).

Kenichi can be headswapped, to make alternate versions of Usagi and Kenichi as well as generic samurai (again good or bad).
