so I realized that alot of the members here are wondering why the Ichibanboshi wears the patch on his good eye. so here is the story. I asked Mori about this and he gave me a brief reason why.

The good eye is only revealed during battle. It is the source of energy for him. So if he keeps the eye shown for a long time, he will loose energy and wil not be able to give his all during battles. That is why he keeps the patch over it. of course his head is a skull so he don't have eyelids to keeps his eyes shut.

so here is the reason why he wears the patch over his good eye. I hope this answered alot of members questions. If you want any more unsolved things solved please feel free to ask me and I'll try and get some info. Hope this helps you guys out.

That's some killer info. I think ANY background information on the RxH guys is interesting. Any sort of little stories Mori has behind them, his influence. They're so damn fun, yet so out of reach and mysterious. Thanks.

Haha! I'm the kook that kept asking. He still has to walk around blind all the time, he should have a seeing eye oni dog.

Hmm, I think I've heard that story before. Anyone here familiar with Naruto?

Neat, and thanks for the info.

I'm not a big fan of Real Head figures but I love Ichibanboshi. The exta info makes it even cooler. Thanks BEYOND.



Not just in Naruto. Having a cursed eye seems to be a rather common theme of many anime characters. Heck, I can think of 3 shows airing now with such characters. I think better examples would be Lucia from Venus versus Virus and Sven Vollfied from black cat.

was just watching to new Shippuden series, fun to see them look grown up.

very fun info about the patch, thanks!

That's an interesting tidbit. I kept wondering which eye to keep the patch on since I've seen photos alternating on each one.

Been waiting for Shippuuden for so long, I couldn't watch the filler anymore. Finally have something to look forward to again.

Me too. I'm ashamed at how addicted I am to this show.

me too! couldn't take one more episode

don't feel bad el word, obviously you aren't the only one ^^

Thanks for the backgroun Hiro,

I thought covering the good eye was a mistake so I've been putting the patch on the bad eye (little did I know i was unleashing a powerful weapon, Cyclops style!)

Hiro,

Please ask Mori what the story behind the Gatchigon and his son is, I love this figure, he is much bigger than I thought and super textured.

I will try and get info on Gatchigon for you. I love this figure too. I love hearing stories about the figures he makes. I'm gonna try and get more info for you guys here on the board. Please wait a while.

Damn bringing the thunder!

nice...would jump on this but already have one...

HOW MUCH DID MINE COST ME????

My sentaments exactly - that skull zombi is lookin HOT too.

Ah the Skull Zombi, a new one huh? I'd have to wait it out, too broke now, but it's nice, goes well with all the clear pink coming out. Hopefully S7 Rocks these too, this particular conversation should be moved to the "Japanese..." threads though. Looks nice as hell though!

s7 already had these but for $65, if you don't have one I wouldn't pass this up, damn cheap

Mori watches too much Naruto...

all the kids at sdcc06 wearing those head bands really freaked me out. It was like a cult of fugly.

They're descending upon Boston this month at Anime Boston 2007.
Those guys and the Final Fantasy Advent Children types.
Some carrying around these ridiculously large (7 foot) homemade swords.

Try the toy shop in Japn center on a sat, crazy!

How the hell is it that TT is getting RxH cheaper then S7? WTF? OR are they just underselling to make themselves look good?

Well they are gone now anyway...

thank you Hiro for that awesome background info. Anymore would be greatly appreciated.

More will come Lamoure, just keep an eye out. and holy shit!!!this will be my 100th post!!!! Finally!!!!!
