Mike Blake reviews the latest plastic figures for collectors

Futura
Samurai & Gladiators

At the recent London Toy Soldier show I spotted these figures on a stand manned by Peter Evans. Chatting to him revealed that they were some figures which were given away with rice cakes in Japan. A friend of his had been able to get hold of a number of them and they were now selling them.

The fascinating thing about the Samurai is that they are from the period of the Tom Cruise film ‘The Last Samurai’. They are simply painted, 1:32 scale mounted and foot figures and include two of Tom Cruise! They are full of action, and come unassembled with a couple of pieces which snap together.

They are available in limited numbers but are very nice collectors’ items and a must for anyone interested in the military history of Japan and the Boshin War in particular. There also some Roman Gladiators, in action poses.

The figures sell for £6 mounted and £4.50 foot.
