Here are some pics from the stage event at Yodobashi. The impromptu street fights in Akihabara and Shibuya were even more fun. The blue & red heroes represented competitor brands who get their butts kicked by the Virus Sentouin. here hope to have news about villians & toys soon.
So if I uninstall Norton's, attractive women in thigh high stilletos will show up with computer viruses or as computer viruses or what?
I think Stiletto Girl is some competing brand ... but yeah, as long as she'll wear those boots, she's welcome. Her shades remind me of Devo somehow. Love all the grip-and-grin shots, the public happily getting their pictures taken with the Fighter. CC

This is really awesome...I wish we saw more of this type of thing here in Chicago. Congrats to you and Mori in getting this off the ground.
So in terms of RxH characters.....would he be a yellow vinyl evil with silver & red highlights? Green eyes?
Just a scream, thanks. The vid gives so much more of the feel of it than the stills. Of course, the blue competitor is a 98-lb. Caspar Milquetoast, likely not strictly hetero, taken out with one sucker punch. Stiletto Girl may be a sucker for flattery - a kind word, a helping hand offered, and she's done for (though she does appear to feel remorse for having been so foolish). The Viruses may have learned tactics from some of their film-Ninja predecessors, each carefully waiting his turn to attack the Fighter one at a time. One puzzling thing - one of the other Google videos of the event from the same guy shows the Ninja Viruses arriving, apparently accompanied -- by someone dressed as a British Redcoat, with a feather in his cap, wielding a light saber? Also, for the Fighter's future tactical use, it appears Ninja Viruses hava a weakness for puppies! Amidst all the audio, all I could pick up was one phrase - 'Computa Veeruses'! Thanks again, that was a hoot. Cc
Damn I wish I was there for that. Looks like a blast and love all the craziness in Akihabara. The outfits are pretty damn crazy.
Hey, absolutely no offense intended ... I just thought it was odd, and of course I'm referring to the character, not the performer. He minces around the stage in a fairly stereotyped limp-wristed pantomime, not something I think you'd see these days in America when intended to portray a character as ineffectual. I assume that Mori and Don did only design, and did not handle the choreography, and in any event I could be totally wrong -- different cultures, different meanings. CC
Blue guy doesn't look like much of a fighter, Norton's probably asked for a skinny guy to represent their competitors. I'd switch to Stilleto Boots girl's brand to be honest since she looks ready to put a hurting on computer viruses except she's kind of hot and they might enjoy it and stick around. Dunno just a thought...
Now that is interesting! I see a fight figure in there! Do you have any more Mori concept sketches lying around for posting?
I just re-upped my McAfee subscription but Norton could pry me away so easily with a street fighting show. Thanks for the coverage datadub! Your Flickr pictures are hilarious!
