"Daimyo at Sekigahara, 1600" the work of M R Pongchai Jayankura at "Monarch Regalia"

One of the many vignettes produced by Pongchai in his extensive range of late feudal Japanese at the start of the Tokugawa Shogunate. All figures are hand painted in Thailand and stand about 45mm tall. The animation and detail is excellent for "toy soldiers" putting them in a class of their own. These are the only toy soldiers in my collection.





The US stockist  for Monarch Regalia is the always helpful Ted Deddens, the owner of Tedtoys and a great artist in his own right:

In my humble opinion, nothing compares with Monarch Regalia when it comes to Samurai. Its like participating in an Akira Kurosawa movie.
