Wanting to Buy Yamamoto Yaeko 山本 八重

[akaryu]

Hello fellow Planeteers,

Aware that it amounts to a mission impossible, I am looking to buy the 1/16 resin figure of Yamamoto Yae, 山本 八重, female hero of the Aizu clan in the Boshin War 1868. The figure was produced in Japan and is now extremely difficult to find, but one never knows!

Japanese figures such as this are notoriously difficult to find.Best of luck!

Thanks Oda, it’s a very long shot, I know. This figure was produced in limited numbers for the WonderFest Summer 2013, but who knows....

Ki o tsukete,

I am converting this figure to Yamamoto Yaeko.

I am waiting on a 90mm Spencer rifle. The figure is 75mm but I think it will work. If not I will have to scratch one.

Excellent idea Bob! I might pick up that one if my search remains fruitless. Please share your work on this conversion.
