Bunraku, anyone tried them with Collodi?

[Velcro]

Good morning my fellow Puppet Masters! I just finished assembling my Coryphee last night so all I need is a Widow Weaver and a couple effigies and my Collodi army is done. But I was going over the Wyrd store this morning and saw Bunraku. I don't know how but I never saw/noticed them before and to my amazement they're puppets! YAY! More wood for the puppet fire!

I have never seen them mentioned in Collodi posts though, so are the models new releases or something? Are they good with him or so bad no one talks about them? What's their deal with Mr Fingers?

[Cinnamon Bear]

Models for them haven't been released yet*, but the rules were released last year in Shifting Loyalties. I suspect its mostly that not many people have used them yet.

*well they're in the store now

I'm looking forward to replacing performers and oiran (in non-showgirl heavy lists) with one or two bunraku because their "lure" makes more sense.  into the bubble!

I've tried them out in my Collodi crew and cool in a few ways.. They are another option besides Stticheds (to be the foot soldier of the crew), and they offer some nice dynamics.. I've found their Snatch coupled with Obscene Prep fantastic. Being able to yank opponents out of position and then get a free Ml attack in is always fun. Supported by Collodi's My Will and Vas' Twist you have ninja puppets that can suddenly make a lot of attacks!

Armour +1 and their Df trigger and a decent stat line make them resilient minions - and they have retract! 

All-in-all I think they're a great addition in the sense of minion choice for Collodi - adding some depth to how you can play the puppet master...

I've liked them as alternatives to Coryphee in Scheme pools where I feel less need for the Coryphee's speed and more of a need for some good old fashioned shanking

I used to take coryphee, but dropped them after a few games. Though I have Bunraku on the way to do more of a Fated build, as I run Bag if Props 99% if the time.

I really want to use them, but I also really like my current Fated build and am not sure what I would replace to get them in. I use two stitched in general, might try 1 stitched and 1 bunraku instead. Stitched are such vicious little menaces though...
