Oriental Deep Ones?

[Smith]

They’re called Namazu and cause earthquakes. Some are depicted just as giant fish, others... Well, they have a certain “look” about them...

[General Roos]

Kewl!   

[OSHIROmodels]

They'd make great models 

I am getting more and more tempted to start collecting a more fantasy element of samurai figure but there isn't much out there that takes my fancy at the moment 

cheers

Never mind, it's still funny

Easy mistake, translation is not always that obvious............ 

[OSHIROmodels]

Nope, I'm afraid she was being thick this time 

She even admitted it herself and also said "But I don't eat fish..." 

cheers

Fourth picture down where they look as though they are all singing, maybe it's Sushi and the Banshees?
or Bob Marley and the Whalers?

The old clan war and olley's armies oriental goblins are excellent.

Microart studios does nezumi heads (for use on skaven bodies).

Eureka does oriental rabbits.

...and Dixon's have a range of Oni and Dai-Oni.

I have a feeling that Grenadier did some Kappa and Bakemono..........

Thanks chaps, on it 

cheers
