Thanks lisab. I'm thinking about buying this but I can't decide. Should I buy this or buy more movies. $99 plus shipping is quite a lot of money for a 7 inch figure. Then again....this is a minature Samanosuke!!!!

LOOKIE WHAT I JUST RECEIVED TODAY!-------------------------------------------------------------------- Awesome!-------------------------------------------------------------------- Heres another angle-------------------------------------------------------------------- And heres a shot for the ladies. Look at his butt!-------------------------------------------------------------------- This is how small he is. Well, he's kinda big. He just looks small compared to my big manly hands. Hehehe. He is about 7 inches tall without the little stand/base.
-------------------------------------------------------------------- And now for the packagingHere is the styrofoam thing that held him securely inside the box -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here is the box. Some may say it looks plain but I think it looks artistic. Not too overly flashy. -------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the under side of the base that Samanosuke stands on. It says " Composed by Mamoru Samuragoch. Character Samanosuke Akechi by Amuse/Fu Long Production, CAPCOM CO., LTD 2001 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED. Guest Creator: Takeshi Kaneshiro" Guest creator Takeshi Kaneshiro?!?!?! I'm guessing Takeshi had a say in the creation or design of these Samanosuke figures. If so then that would make this figure so much more cool!!!!!!!!! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Here are his weapons 1. A long spear. It's actually 2 pieces that you crew together to make one long spear. 2. A unsheathed sword 3. A sheathed sword 4. An empty sword scabbard All his weapons are made of METAL! No plastics here. -------------------------------------------------------------------- I bought this off of ebay for way less then US$100. I got lucky because no one else bid on this. I won the auction at $10!!!!!!! Shipping was $25 for slow method and $35 for priority mail. I chose the more expensive route. Total comes to $45. That's still less than half of what most people are selling this for. Needless to say I am happy. Yippeeeee. For some reason this particular Samanosuke figure that I won doesn't show up when u search for him on ebay. I guess that's why no one else bid on it. They just simply couldnt find it. I found it by going through lots of different ebay links. This was shipped from Switzerland to the US where I live. Took less than a week to arrive. I was quite surprise to get it so fast.

wow, you are lucky....you did get a real good deal on that. are they selling in toy stores also or just online?
hey, now you've got $55 left to spend on more movies.
nice game collection there....now i must ask are you into the game and character or are you into it just because the character is a model of takeshi?
i don't think the doll looks very much like him but from what i've seen the graphics in the game, it's almost accurate. i have a pic of him somewhere.....it looks just like him, he's so hott! i'll post it when i can find it.

Yes I did get a very good deal!
They don't sell these in toy store since they are no longer being produced. Best place to buy them would be online auction sites.
And that $55 dollars I saved....well I just spend it buying A Bittersweet Life Limited Edition Dvd and Sad Movie Limited Edition dvd. Ordered them straight from Korea.
As for the video games. I like the Onimusha series because I love samurai and Takeshi looks so cool in the games. I guess I'm into both the games and Takeshi. I'm into Takeshi more though. I love his movies. Dont we all?
The first Onimusha game is special to me because it introduced me to Takeshi. From then on I've been hooked.

The reason why it says he's the guest creator is because he came up with the idea for Onimusha. A VIDEO GAMER!! *will ask someone if he plays Neverwinter Nights on-line* ;D Oh and I WANT BLADE WARRIORS!! And Onimusha: Tactics. I have Genma Onimusha.

Playing Onimusha 4 and they mention something about a "Akechi Tomb". I think that means that Samanosuke Akechi is dead in this game......... I hope not because Samanosuke should only be about 15 years older than he was in the last game. So he cant have died of old age. I hope Samanosuke will make a cameo in the game.

I've never played Onimusha. But I have seen it around the video games sections at stores. I always thought the Japanese guy on the cover was cute. Then when I read about Takeshi, I was like hoorah! That's super cool. He's the guy they modeled the character Samanosuke from. Nice pics of the figurine. You've also got a nice video game collection Samanosuke. Anywho congrats on that. I should buy this game.
