Very "Guyver meets DBZ". 8) reminds me of Chaos Aptom a little.

I honestly had higher hopes of what the mashup would look like. It's a little cleaner than I wanted. Not bashing it, it's still cool.

This new sculpt looks pretty cool but I hope the first painted releases really pop!

Wow, i had recently grown tired of the old RxH sculpts and then this comes along. I think its the best sculpt to date personally. I love how it makes the old sculpts so dated, not in a bad way, just it took a great eye to pull this off so well. Now its just a matter of sick paint apps.

Haha, that's the same thing I thought when I saw it! Optimus Prime with bug eyes!

This is cool, none the less.

The head antennae (?) and to a lesser degree, the eyes, remind me of Inazuman a bit for some reason.

The mouth definitely has the Prime look to it, and the arms are very DBZ Namekian as well.

I personally think there's a bit too much going on here. Chaos has always been my favorite RxH sculpt without a doubt, and he has a lot going on, but it all works. I think there's too many varying textures here -- Fur, scales, cracks, etc.

With that being said, any new RxH is exciting to me, no matter whether I would want it in my collection or not. Mori is definitely gifted at coming up with new characters and ways of morphing his existing characters into something totally new yet recognizable. He has a style all his own, for sure.

Yeah, super seriously. I like it, though agree about it being a bit derived from anime looking characters I am not into so much.

1 is the OG 4, 2 is Akro and O.Bat and Jinga or Ginga? Whatever his name is. 1 are heroes, 2 are villains, 3 seems to be combos.

Thanks for the clarification since Mutant Zone terminology is brand new to me

This sculpt looks a lot better to me than the Kaizer Head. I'm happy to see RxH dropping newer figures. It was getting pretty mediocre with most of the releases. I'd like to see some other figures get more attention, especially a new Jinja-R.

+1 on the Jinja R. how about one in that new toothpaste green vinyl that's floating around--or burgundy?

I actually find the new stuff more exciting than a lot of the older stuff, but I would like to see more Gachigons, Jinja Rs, Organ Bats, in new vinyl colors. Also, I haven't seen any new and exciting Hone Borgs in a while.

I'm stoked about any horror RxH that might get the full-sized treatment.

I knew I was forgetting something. Definitely would love to see a new Organ Bat as well. Full size Horror figures would be awesome as well.

:shock: :shock: :shock:

Now that's bad ass. So that's what the whole silhouette picture on the homepage was about? Mixture of both the Evil and Organ Bat. Makes me wonder about other possible combinations.

Thanks data! The top pic of the Evilbat just sold me. The black rub on the orange makes it look copper (or is there copper paint under the rub?) The fade into the natural orange vinyl on the feet, arms, and horns is great. Part of me thinks the subtle painting approach on such a busy sculpt is the best way to go. Then the other side me wants to see someone go crazy with the colors. Really liking this one as an introduction to a new RxH toy.
