Awesome. Definitely buying a set.

Wow! Nice set! Very ingenius to include the kami w/ the set. Swords are beautiful. I only wish the ninja swords looked that good.

Nice, it will save us some money swapping over to HT bodies!!!

Very nice set, but still no traditional footwear.
Samurai did go barefoot from time to time, but traditionally they wore Tabi socks and Waraji.
By the way, there's a special way to tie the Hakama (Shimo?) watch this youtube video to understand:

That's actually incorrect. Traditional donning of hakama starts w/ the front tie being wrapped first, being tied at the back under the kimono "obi" knot. Then the back straps are brought through to the front and tied in various froms of decorative knots.

I see. I've seen videos of both tying the front then back and back then front and was confused by that, but what I was most interested in was the most visible aspect, the front knot; which I've seen tied in the exact same way more then once. Probably more of a Kendo uniform knot, but it's the easiest to do in 1:6 scale and make it look right.

Here's a good tutorial.

Just exchanged a bunch of email messages with Ken (owner of Crazy Owners) and clarified the relationship between the 2 companies. Crazy Owners is a separate and distinct company from Ignite but will be working as their Exclusive World Wide Agency. So to put it another way, Ignite will manufacture the toys, but the branding and sales will fall under Crazy Owners.

Ken was Ignite's head of marketing before forming Crazy Owners:

Once you get a DiD samurai, nothing 1:6 scale will compare to it.
And Hot Toys thought the Alien astronaut suits were impossible to make in cloth.

I think Hot Toys piked because cloth is too labor intensive. Look at how much they make that is plastic. Predators, Aliens and now Ironman, when they can really make something nice, like the Joker for instance, with cloth. It just makes them look so much better.

I can't seem to find a link to these 'Crazy Owners' on the DiD site. Looks like a nice outfit. Too bad they didn't include some footwear in this set. Now all we need is a price.

They are Ignite not DiD, aint they?

Ahhh. Thanks Evilface. I had a brain freeze. Still, I don't see a link on the Ignite site either. Must be a really new sub division. All in due course I reckon.

Since it's a full line of samurai clothes, I hope they do white death robes like Ogami Itto wore in Sword of Vengeance. Step one in my most wanted custom.

Nice ... when will it be made available?

Some places have it up for pre-order at $36
