So, I've decided to model my future Lantern Lodge Samurai/Magus character for Pathfinder Society after John Belushi's famous "Samurai Tailor" skit from Saturday Night Live back in the 1970's. You can watch this skit via the below link:

The thing is, I'm a huge miniature geek and often go out of my way to make the miniature I have represent the character I'm playing as closely as possible. Does anybody know of a miniature that best represents this, or of a company that does a "knock-off" version of the character? Any modeling advice?

Try Reaper 03524.
Way ahead of you, Charlie. I got this miniature a few months back. However, I'm seeing if there's an even better suited miniature out there. Also, trying to figure out how best to paint to to resemble John Belushi in this skit.
Weird. I remember Samuarai Deli, but not Samurai Taylor. :)
How does samurai taylor differ from other samurais? Tape measure around the neck? bolt of cloth? pins in the mouth?
Should be fun.

Might want to check out minis for the game Alkemy - I got This box on clearance at gencon last year for $4... might be some other figures out there for the game cheap on clearance
There was/is a mini that was made by Ral Partha in the 80's that was based on the Belushi character. I know I owned this (and badly painted it) at one point ...
After some internet sleuthing, I've found the figure:

He's been busted down to Dwarf status I think due to scale creep in the last 30 years...
