This a Samurai figure kit of Takeda Shingen (武田 信玄, December 1, 1521 – May 13, 1573), of Kai Province, was a pre-eminent daimyō in feudal Japan with exceptional military prestige in the late stage of the Sengoku period.

Final thoughts:

This is my first 54 mm resin kit in twenty years. I prefer 90 and 120 mm white metal and resin kit. Casting is superb, better than the 1/6 Samurai mtd. bust that I received couple years ago. The Tachi blade could have cast a bit thicker or in white metal. A 90mm white metal kit release would be nice. A superb Samurai kit. Highly recommended.

Thank you for looking!
