As an avid fan of anything related to Dynasty Warriors, I'd normally snap up this sort of thing, but this set of eight Japanese figures is just so ... creepy looking that I'm going to have to think long and hard before slapping my hard earned Yen down for any of them.
Zhao Yun, Sun Shang Xiang, Lu Bu, Xiahou Dun, Diao Chan, Zhang Liao, Guan Yu and Gan Ning are all available, resembling something closer to an escaped gang of crossdressing mental patients than medieval war heroes. As much as I love the DW series, I'm not sure I could sleep at night having a manic-eyed Sun Shang staring at me with that vacant, cold, dead expression on her face.
According to my Japanese reading skills (otherwise known as the use of online translators), each figure is provided at random and you don't know which one you get before you buy. The last thing you need is to be expecting Lu Bu and getting that ... that horrific Sun Shang one glaring up at you.
Who am I kidding? I'll buy them all eventually, and weep bitter tears of shame and misery with each one that gets delivered.

Wow the brown haird chick looks like a dude....scary shit man...scary shit.
Scary
idk, my bff guan yu?
In before Fap, Fap, Fap.
But seriously, they don't look that creepy. I have creepier stuff in my toy collection.
Millenium Falcon Transformer with Chewbacca's face? That's creepy.
Added a paragraph after running a bit of the page through Babelfish.
What a travesty of DW! :(
I wanna get the Gan Ning. and if this is the same one they're selling on Play Asia, then it's pretty cheappy.
Diao Chan looks alittle goofy there. Also...
Much better?
I think like, one pound is 200+ Yen. That might not be too bad a buy for the risk of getting Sun Shang Xiang to haunt my dreams.
Half of them are decent but the other half....eek! Not sure if its worth the 50/50 chance ill get that creepy chick. Anyone wanting the one shin oni posted can get him here Think it looks a lot more decent
Whoever that chick is in the top left of the picture, is one ugly bitch.
Ohhh and since when has xiahou duns weapon changed? LAME
Yeah, totally plonking down a pre-order for that Play Asia one. Nice find, you guys.
LU BUUUU
Order made. Less than £8.00 too, shipping included. I swear, living in the UK does, very rarely, have its f'n uses.
Diao Chan looks ok she like the best out of the 8
6,720円 how much is that in US?
Consumer whore.

@ Wiisucks
Stop making people think you're Mxy.
They don't look that bad, and being Japanese trading figures, they're probably only 4 inches tall anyway.
they look okay.
Eh, they look okay, I guess. Don't know if I'll be picking any up, though.
Hey Jim I've wanted to ask you have you read the Romance of the three kingdom novels? You know the historical novels that Dynasty warriors is based on? I've read them and they are pretty good, w worth reading for a Dynasty warriors fan
GRACIAL FORTLESS
Fag.
(Kidding! <3)
Does anyone else question the Japanese practice in the case of figures like these, of only offering them randomly? Whether it's some sacred custom, something they think is cool, or just laziness, it just seems really stupid. Am I alone in feeling this? Some Japanese customs really irk me.
@ Gil
Nah They're over 5 "
I don't recall the conversation EXACTLY, but I'm imagine they're 5 to 6 inches
@ Myself
You meant conversion, didn't you?
@ Myself
Yes, you dick. Thanks for pointing that out
@ myself
You know what? Go fuck yourself!
@theloldranger: I do question why they do it but I think i know the answer...its so they can make like one or two good ones and the rest utter shite so that people keep buying them for the good ones
Can’t sleep, clown’ll eat me
The figures reminded me of that twisted Krusty the Clown bed that Homer so lovingly crafted with his own hands for Bart. In other words, they’re creepy as hell.
please jim, i have an entirely irrational penchant for pornographic images concerning women in SS unifores, but at least i have the decency to keep it to myself.
couldn't you just mash the green button ant pretend you are playing the next umpteen installments of DW?
honestly, it really refelcts badly on such an esteemed personage.
also corks.
wait....i'm late on it but did I just sway Jim's eurobucks with that pic?
I win.
@Jim
The only thing scary in this topic is you JIM !!!
What, no Cao Pi?
At any rate I was never much of a DW fan.
I've already ordered a full set. These don't look nearly as good as the DW5 figures though :( At least there's a Gan Ning.
Impressive detail.
Mister Disco: The DW4 figures are nice looking. I ordered me a Sima Yi from Ebay a while back, still waiting for it.
MasterMS: Yeah, I read Romance of the Three Kingdoms a few years ago. Really enjoyed it.
Hmmmm, not bad, not bad at all. :)
The chick on the left has a wide face
Not bad.
