I wake up this morning with the greatest idea of the year and of the whole universe! (Call me Mister Modesty.^^)

Why there is not Ninja Apes with shuko or star (?) or even chain or Bola or sarbacanes or Kusari Gama?

And the Monks Apes, huh? ^^

Yey Ninja Chimps more specific than apes,  Hey I think I am going to quickly patent that if you can in fact patent an idea :D :D :D
Asensus I Will have to let you have the idea for the Ape monks.

But do like the idea :)
Sometimes I wonder - why is that frisbee geting bigger - and then it hits me!

The original idea for the Apes came from my (then) 5 year old, who wanted a range of 'Ninja Monkeys'.  That didn't sound quite right when it came to releasing them, so they got changed to Samurai Apes.  We'd like to get some more done for them, but the designer is working in bigger scales at the moment.

Unfortunately it's not work for us.  He's freelance, and works for a variety of different companies.  I think he does some stuff quite regularly for Khurasan.

My Vote Here.

Also, some of my suggestions:

Geisha Apes.

(feudal Japanese -style) Civilian Apes [for scenario purposes in games]. Preferably with a few bits like pack horses, like in the Mongol civilians, and then they could resemble refugees etc.

Maku screen sections for my Samurai Ape Daimyo command base. No doubt this would be part of the Historic Samurai range (like the palisades and sashimono)
princeps Roy , prince de Monacorra, (ascended in February 2023)
His Serene Highness the Sovereign Prince of (the imaginary sovereign microstate of) Monacorra

Dr Seuss asks Techno for some ninjas.

Will you make a ninja bat?
     I will not make a ninja bat.
Will you make a ninja cat?
     I will not make a ninja cat?
Will you make a ninja cow?
     I would not, though I know how.
Will you make a ninja dog?
     No, nor will make a ninja frog.
     I will not make a ninja bat,
     Nor ninja cat, not in a hat,
     I will not make a ninja cow,
     Nor ninja bat upon a bough,
     I will not make a ninja dog,
     Nor ninja croc in rancid bog,
     I will not make a ninja frog,
     That croaks and burps in ninja fog
      I will not make a ninja man,
     Though I know that I surely can,
     I might if my time was free,
     but it is not, for as you can see,
     I've stuck a scalpel in my knee,
     And I'm s*dding off to A&E.
