Where to find a fox ninja in 28mm
« on: April 24, 2010, 08:25:10 AM »
I know this is a bit specific, and that a similar subject has been discussed before http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=8050.0, but any pointers to where to look?

Not my idea, but a friend thought of making a game out of this bit of news: http://www.hs.fi/english/article/Fox+kills+all+flamingoes+at+Korkeasaari+zoo/1135255974503

Mega minis makes a flamingo, then all you'd need is a couple of guards...

Try looking for kitsune: Japanese for fox.

What about this? Removing the ratty teeth and modelling some fur on the tail, I think it could work.

There was a trader at Salute who did Chinese mythological figures in white metal 28mm (?).  No idea what the company was and the figures came in plain plastic bags with no company details.  (very poor marketing strategy  :-[  )  Pretty certain that if you can find out who it was you can get one from him.  I got a Monkey, Pigsy, Sandy and Tripitaka from him.

the red panda from black hat with a bit of conversion could possibly do the trick:

Thanks,

@Arthadan: a bit too, dunno, skaveny?

@Thargor: that would be black hat

@meninobesta: I have those, thought I'd use those as the guards.

Maybe I just need to buy a ninja and a fox headed mini and, in the words of J. Mascis, "start choppin"...

Hei,

just found these:
http://cgi.ebay.de/34mm-Kush-Energy-Sabre-Team-By-Newbold-World-/300368855002?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Toys_Wargames_RL&hash=item45ef60ffda

They are 34mm, so maybe to big, and they're no ninjas, but at least they are foxes.
Just wanted to let you know ;)
