These are 1/35 scale Samurai Warrior figures. They are a slight departure from Tamiya's usual military subjects as they depict Japanese samurai warriors from the tale of the "47 Ronin", a legend of revenge made famous in the West by the eponymous Hollywood movie. The kit comes with a wealth of information about clothing and customs in English. The included instruction manual is also an interesting source of reference for aficionados of Japanese history and culture.

• The form of the samurai is depicted smartly with accurate renderings of clothing, arms and accessories of the era. The manual includes detailed descriptions of the various components.
• Each character has his own introduction in English with the story of the 47 Ronin briefly told as well.
• Includes parts to recreate 8 figures from the tale of the 47 Ronin.
