With great honor, ACI Toys International has been authorized by Mr. Suwahara Hiroyuki, legendary Japanese illustrator of renown KOEI's games Dynasty Warriors and Samurai Warriors, to produce a series of 1/6 scale collectible action figures from the Sengoku Period. Kicking off the series, we are pleased to bring you the mighty conqueror, warlord and general ~ Oda Nobunaga.

To bring Mr. Hiroyuki's illustration to life while staying truthful to history as much as possible, the ACI Team has invested a great deal in the research and development of the series, from armor design to weaponry, from head-sculpt to tailoring, no details has been left unchecked, for instance, Oda's sword is actually based on the "Heshikirihasebe", which is currently on display at the ***uoka City Museum in Japan.

For hardcore Samurai fans and gamers, the DELUXE version comes with 3 special bonus parts that symbolized Oda's heroic legacy :
1) Matchlock gun -- as the leader of tanegashima infantry team
2) Haori (Samurai surcoat) -- the noble image as a daimyō who ruled most of the Japan from their vast, hereditary land holdings
3) "Tenka Fubu" Battle flag with stand -- meaning ""to rule all under heaven by force of arms/military might", the iconic war banner of Oda Nobunaga.

Yeah, my guess is they are trying to tap into the huge gamer market...
I actually saw many female fans of the character Oda from the games at the HK Toy Festival this summer :p

I am also just preordered this guy after half year break from 1/6

Need good samurai figure and it's based Suwahara Hiroyuki. There is no reason at all to skip it
 
I got mine pre-ordered 2 weeks ago and seems many retailers are doing different percentages of deposit. We might have many choices I think!

Well done ACI! I support you guys seeing the efforts and "heart" in doing real good 1/6 figures!
 
is there any information in terms of a release date?
the last update i saw about this product, was a preview video for the prototype on youtube.
that video was released in december 2016.
it seems like nothing happened since then?

on some websites it says the release date is in the 3rd or 4th quarter of 2017
but it its not even released in asian regions yet. one and a half year without any updates?
what happened to the rest of the ACI samurai line like Uesugi Kenshin, Sanada Yukimura, Date Masamune and Takeda Shingen?
 
i asked ACI Toys directly on Facebook and they answered that the release target is the fourth quarter of 2018 (in asian regions)
so this will take a while until its available everywhere.
 
This figure looks too "gamish" for me, and I have Oda Nubunaga Coo model version on PO'ed

Takeda Shingen on the other hand looks good..but I was wondering how is the quality ?
