They look n1. The only one i know is Saffron though. I have considered purchasing her as well.

Who's that Girl with the Sword btw?
It's all about Swords you know
Do you practice HEMA or an Asia Fencing Style btw?

Actually, I used to practice Kendo, but traded the Shinai for a Foil/Rapier later.

And DARN, those two ^ I don't have and would have been winning ticket draws for me!

Good choice. Rapiers are quite deadly.
I personally prefer the one and half handed bastard swords which to me always translated as the finest dueling weapon, but I must admit, the combination of Rapier and dagger/main gauche is very amazing and extremely efficient.
Its just many of the moves in the Rapier fencing style (mainly Italian and Spanish, which are even crazier arithmetic bs heh) are a bit over exagerated and while they might surprise the opponent, many of them have long recovery time.
Nevertheless, rapiers is the true gentleman weapon.
Haah good old days.... damn it Corintis now you got me all melancholic !

I was also just about to mention that getting whacked on the softer, leathery part of the Men by your 7th-Dan, dual-wielding Tanken/Shinai Sensei hurts

The European styles are also a lot more practical than the Asian arts, although Kendo alone barely covers the basics of a good sword fight; the Katas of Kendo and Kenjutsu covers the more practical techniques. But even then, practitioners of them say that it's better, or more convenient to practice Kendo over Kenjutsu.

And thats where gamberson and chainmail or the more motocross HEMA style of protectors come into play ! Huzzah for ways to protect oneself from unwished for pain ! :3
I still can remember the blue/purple ish spots on my hands and legs after the more intense training days though. No pain no gain I guess
