Move along. Nothing to see here.
Get back to work...

Love this guy. Wish Mori did more with him.

I need this one! So killer, totally "Judas Priest" metal feel.

GID claws?

I love this one.

will look awesome next to the ichibanboshi skullpirate ninja dood!

It looks the way similar to the 1st ichibanboshi version (ordinary)

So is this the next part of a set then (colorway-wise I mean).

I like this guy.

Yes, he will match the black w/ white paint ichiban. (which is not technically the first version) but will make a great set none the less.

and Vince, mori doesen't do much w/ this guy... cause hes brand new, this is the 2nd idderation of the figure.

Im diggin this fig.. and the colorway works for me.

If the Gold Mist had more red paint to highlight it a bit, I'd have gone for that, but there's so many little cool details on this I wanted to wait for a full painted one. This is it too, I don't have the Ninja to match, but it stands on its own I feel.

Hell yeah!

I know some like 'em and the completists have to have 'em but the unpainted and minimally painted don't really float my boat . . . this guy seems to really pop with this paint app.

If I don't manage to snag this one at least it bodes well for future incarnations!

It's Ichibanoshi 2.0?

A definite improvement, then. I've no love for Ichi.

vince, the ninja w/ 1 eye (like chaos) is called Ichibanboshi.

This figure is called Mikazuki Joe - they are 2 seperate figures.

this is the 2nd colorway (idderation) of Mikazuki Joe.

Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up.

No fun playing catch-up. So much info to assimilate.

What do you mean no fun playing catch up? I love sitting here and hitting the search to bide my time. Seriously, it's all I did for a month or 2, scroll through everyone's already existing collectins, learn who makes what and all that. I loved it, still do too when I get the chance.

Assimilation is fun as well though.

Actually....

The first figure is called Ryusei (shooting Star)Ninja and is a ichibanboshi figure made by RxH. The Mikazuki Joe is a seperate figure, the second in the series and is called Gekko (moonlight) Ninja.

See data's post in this thread if you're a name freak.

Isn't there a third colorway of Mikazuki Joe? Or is that still in the works?

Pronounced ROO-say?

okay, okay Ichibanboshi is the store in which these figures are inspired or collaborated w/ or whatever.

ryusei is the tech. name of the ninja, gekko is the tech. name for this fellow.

I have heard the ryusei ninja referred to so many times as the ichi ninja - it has stuck in my head.

so, can we say ichibanboshi is the name of this line of real head figures (starting w/ ryusei ninja and now including the gekko) ?

Yes, Ichibanboshi is the name of the store which originally sold one or more of these figures.

Per datadub's info:

The eyepatch ninja is "Ryusei Ninja Ichibanboshi."

The new guy is "Gekko Ninja Mikazuki Joe."

So, yes, we're all correct, sort of.

hmmmm, i like the sculp, not sure about this colorway. could have been worse....looks like an egg yolk just got broken on his face....

where's the clears?????

If the crossbone mask was removable that would have been so bad ass!!!

Not crazy about tha colorway either,I think they could have done alot more with this,just look's kind of messy to me...Maybe I'll have to see some better pic's to change my mind..Love tha sculpt though!

This sculpt could look so bad ass in the bruised chaos colorway.

Awww YES IT WOULD!!!

The colorway reminds me of the black/white Ryusei Ninja 'way.

...Except that thanks to toybot, whenever I see it now, I'll think "you've got egg on your face."

Thanks, toybotstudios.

I think that nice red/gold Ryusei colorway would work nicely on this one too ... and hopefully, an S7 clear orange w/black and gold colorway is inevitable as well.
