You've never seen Samurai Champloo???

Actually, it is a great Anime with a lot of action, humor and irrelevant banter!!! And great music!!! Highly recommend it!! And Fuu is easy on the eyes to boot!

I'm excited, lcummins!!! Sweet! I'll take both Jin and Mugen at once, then Fuu. Although I'd be more excited if, say...Medicom were to produce these, their anime figures are top notch.

I'll take Fuu first! Then Mugen and Jin if you please!!!

Yeah, I wish it had been Medicom, or even Hot Toys, but I'm willing to give Triad a chance, and they should be cheaper than the other two!!!

I'm excited! I just didn't see the thread earlier! I love Samurai Champloo. I'm afraid getting Triad products will be costly, since I'd have to buy them from outer Europe. Tax and all... I'm curious to see what they can do though.
