YAOKONG AKA "Minikoma." These guys were not on a high priority for my army as the models are dated as well as Yu Jing hand me downs.  That said they are quite cute really and have grown on me.  Plus with a new lick of paint they turned out OK. I used magnets on the weapons so that I could build any of the 4 types of Yaokong.  Blue paint scheme you say?  The paint scheme was based on Ghost in the Shell SAC Tachikomas , which I have a bit of a soft spot for.  The predominantly blue colour doesn't stand out too glaringly in the army over all as I have used blue, grey and red on nearly every model already quite deliberately so as to include these Minikomas in some shape or form.  As to why they are blue fluff wise, I say that they are police issue REMs that have been requisitioned by the ever resourceful Ryuken Unit-9 due to the attrition of military issue REMs during the uprising. :-) YAOKONG Weibing (Combi Rifle, Sniffer) YAOKONG Hu...

NINJA Very nice new sculpt of the Ninja, I only wish the other Ninjas were updated as it is sad not to have this iconic unit in a JSA army.  Pity this model is so hard to get outside the Yu Jing Starter set. However although it's profile is a little underwhelming it is worth getting as it looks so cool and you just have to have a ninja if you are a JSA collector (sorry old Ninjas you won't be on my painting roster). I was most satisfied to see this model in proper JSA colours, rather than our enemy's.  I followed the Studio Giraldez version pretty closely in terms of lighting as an exercise in light sourcing, which they are so good at.  Tbh it was hard to improve upon perfection, so I did my best to emulate what they had done.
