Wow. that is a wonderful custom Cheng  :clap: :wow: :clap:
Thank you also for showing us the pictures on which you based it.
I don't know the part number, but is the hat from the Fairy Tale 5 dwarfs set?

thanks everyone!

...sorree WOT, nope...its not painted black...no paint no glue no blue tac...original black playmo cap with brim trimmed and the white ribbon fits snugly for most playmo caps anyway   :xholly:

...common you guys...dont give up so fast....I'm wondering if Sylvia or Heather can guess it first before I reveal the answer  :rudy:

WOT, I'll take a photo of the sword belt..its one of those urethane 'rubber bands' I use so often, just looped over the red belt  :xmascheer:

sorree Elaine!!  :-[
sorree because I left your name out when I mentioned Sylvia and heather  :P
you ladies seems to be good at this  :love:
sorree our posts crossed mid-air  :D

and....youre 100% right Queen Elaine...its the black dwarf cap...I was hoping it fits adult klicky hair and it does (the big clue was the bent tips which I needed for this soft headwear...luckily nobody suggested that cheng is starting to heat-bend playmo parts ;D)

Your job Cheng is more professional than the original Geobra.You should make a Japanese history playmo exhibition.

Dear Richard,
you know I need those heat bent (right) arms badly but never once push for it in our Pilot Club discussion...maybe because I think its futile or maybe because I think its unplaymobil or maybe because there are many other members' priorities or MAYBE cheng is planning to mass-heat-bend them  ;D I'll like to, provided I can find a way to guarantee zero spoilage and that the arms bend at the same points every time  ;) I've often thought of slicing and turning the lower arm by 180 degrees and rounding off the resulting sharp elbows...I will try one and discuss with you experts  :xholly:

Dear Gordon,
thanks! I just need to find better and better ideas to justify making more and more instead of just cloning more japanese customs  :P

Your job Cheng is more professional than the original Geobra.You should make a Japanese history playmo exhibition.
...and Grangel, right now my dream is to be allowed to help Geobra plan a Japanese theme launch in 2012! :love: the satisfaction, pride and being able to buy those japanese playmo-parts is rewarding enough  :love:

and I've our favourite toy to thank, without which I wont be continuously reading up more and more about our world's colourful history...I've still much to learn and at the end of the day, maybe tie up all my japanese customs into a sort-of-playmobil-may-not-be-accurate-history...maybe put it on Gadenwargaming like Richard suggested  :)

You know...that slice and turn around idea is a really good one. That may be a winner.

That's a superb looking samurai, Cheng!  As usual, you've created such precise and and intricate details and I love the use of the dwarf's hat and Lego flags and lance.  The complete figure is marvelous looking! :wow:
