Does anyone have a list of what was released or a link to a list of releases? With release numbers, think they start SAM.......

You mean The Samourai Collection
It's a collection made up of 21 figures see Sierra Toy
another list shows at least 63 N°, partialy identified

Cheers, my first place to look was Sierra, but there was no list, but thanks for the other list.

A friend of mine has the whole set, about 80? figures all in boxes with the accompanying booklet.
These were only released in japan, and so the text is all in Japanese. They are wonderful figures and amongst the first sets Del Prado issued.

He is a professor of Asian Studies and collects Samurai figures amongst other themes. Unfortunately he can't display them, and is interested in selling them.
I may see him soon, and soc an ask if he has a listing for you.

Fellow on the left with the Black robe and Scythe is actually from the firefighter history series. There is also a nice mounted Samurai in the History of Cavalry series. Hard to find.
