not vintage but ALFREX makes amazing samurai dolls.

sorry didn't realize the link was not the real alfrex site, the prices are crazy.
but you get the idea.

this is the 7 sumurai set that was put out in the early 90s by Alfrex.
the detailing is unreal, worth any price you could find a set today.
beautiful dolls!
