Can anyone suggest a source for a "not" Samurai Jack miniature?

I can only think of repainting a heroclix jack.

I believe those are customs Carlos, but if someone can identify the base figure I'd be grateful:

I think you are right.


Not the same figures but one or two of these may work.

Those are great figures Carlos. Jack does not wear Hakama (pleated trousers) but it looks like the center figure may be wearing a long kimono. I'll find a good one eventually. Thanks for your efforts.

Good God! How on earth could you forget Jim Bibbly's website for the terrain/buildings section?

The best Japanese buildings available in my opinion.

I never really went into terrain properly. Something I will rectify this moment.

Here are some of the terrain companies I've come across so far:
Oshiro
4Ground
Plastcraft Games / Fukei
Mura Miniatures
Sarissa Precision
John Jenkins

There'll no doubt be plenty more ... but that's a start for you.
