Dragonfire, 1/18 scale Samurai

(I posted WIPs of this guy before, well, he's finished now.)

Dragonfire

None know his real name. He is known only as Dragonfire as he carries three of the four mystical Dragonfire swords. Legend states that the four swords were forged in the very furnaces of Hell itself from metals unknown to man. It is also said that the man who possesses all four swords has the power to concur man's oldest enemy, death.
The man known as Dragonfire has blinding speed, is immune to diesease and is thought to be able to heal all but the most grievous of wounds. His powers have increased as he has obtained each blade, the Death's Head Katana, The Golden Phoenix and the Nightwinds, an odd looking side mounted blade.

The quest to find the fourth blade will be a hard one, as no human eye has has seen it.

The words Dragon painted on one shoulder, and Fire on the other:

Both on his head:

The Dragonfire blades (top to bottom):
Nightwinds
Death's Head Katana
The Golden Phoenix

"You shall possess none of the Dragonfire blades today, Cimmerian!"

This is REALLY nice. He makes me wish there was a full G.I.Joe scale Samurai toyline.

I thought it was good before but you really went all out by adding all those cool swords and the Japanese symbols. He looks perfect.

*Very* nice, Bri. Uh, recipe? I'm interested in where the shoulder guards came from. I can see a lot of Aly's demon-samurai guy in there, and some other bits, but those I can't place.

/Got pieces for my own samurai guy on their way to me. Woot!

The whole thing is Aly's figure.
The shoulder armor is from a second skirt that didnt cast well. I chopped it up and added it.

Well, alrighty then. I still love that 'Destro's face is the mask' bit. That's just stupid-cool-inspired on his part.

Sweet. Beyond sweet.

But the Conan there is rockage cubed.

Nice work on the paints.

Incredible. The paint work is just marvelous. The torso is especially fine, but all of the armor is really excellent ^_^ I hope to see you make more period figures in the future

Any plans for other samurai?

Just awesome, Brian -- way better than the original Aly fig, IMO (I just love the paint job on this bad boy.) I thought about doing a Budo custom similar to this one, but without all the talent & skillz, obviously

.

The details, the blades, and the bio -- all spectacular!

The custom is awesome, but I really love the story behind the swords.
