While I have the feeling this is historical fiction on steroids, it's a gorgeous set. New(ish) company?

I've been trying to find a historically accurate ancient Chinese soldier for a while and haven't seen any. I haven't even found one close enough to modify. I'm thinking of kitbashing one if I can find some decent armour.

I can't remember the particulars (or whether I'm not just imagining its existence), but didn't they do any Qin Dynasty figures based on the terracotta army from the tomb of the First Emperor?

If you can find pics, I'd love to have a look.

You might be thinking of this set from toypower, based on the terrocotta soldiers:



Stuff based on the Qing dynasty should also be fairly historically accurate, as unlike the preceeding dynastys many Qing relics including armor has survived into the modern day, there's this figure from "king of cat toys" that looks great:



There's also Kong Ling Ge, who do figures based on the Ming dynasty, i don't think any armor from that period has survived but they base their figures on art and tapestries from the era, so they should be resonable though, most of their recent figures are more ornate:



And the company that did the figure in the OP is called Sonder, this newest release from them might be pretty ornate but their previous release looks like a reasonable set of heavy lemellar armor from the Song dynasty (though sets of heavy armor probably looked quite similar throughout China's history):

The Toypower Terracotta Warrior would work. The dots need to be painted red to look like lacing rather than dodgy rivets.

Thank you, SnakeyJones, I'm glad I wasn't imagining things, and I do vaguely remember some discussion about the terracotta-warrior-based figure before. As I said, all of these -- from different companies -- tend to look great. Some of the most ornate things give me doubt, although I realize that ornate is exactly what can be expected of members of the elite when armed. It's just that I've looked at the reference books and at various depictions of historical event in painted scrolls, etc. Also, I realize some of these may be based partly or wholly on depictions in modern films or television series, and these are bound to be faithful to reality only to a point. I haven't picked up many of these, though I do have the Ashigaru musketeer, the Hongwu era emperor, a reconstituted Ming guard, and the Jin/Jurchen heavy cavalryman from Dingsheng:
