Picked up copies of Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai and Yojimbo and am debating a mini display with them. I saw Coo Model’s did some nice stuff in 1/6 scale but wondering about anything in 1/12?
Thanks in advance
 
Coo Models has made a couple of Samurai in 1/12 scale, then there's a non armored 1/12 samurai from TWToys. All are higher end figures with cloth outfits.
There are also 1/12 Samurai from Articulated Icons which are all plastic action figures, not on the same level as the ones from Coo Models. Last one that comes to mind is the Marvel Legends Silver Samurai figure, but that's not at all historical and probably not of your interest.
I don't own any except the Silver Samurai which I left in package. I wanted to get at least one Articulated Icons Samurai, but they're now all sold out and overpriced on the secondary market.
 
The non-armoured samurai from TWToys is Musashi Miyamoto from the Vagabond manga (and is slightly stylized as such). TWToys have announced a second in that series - Sasaki Kojiro. The deluxe version includes 2 versions of the character in different soft goods outfits.

DiD have just announced they are making a Takeda Shingen figure. So I guess if you wanted to do a Kurosawa Kagemusha display this one would come in handy.
