Just got the unpainted green and I must say this is a beefy bastard. And the green pearl is the best pearl yet !

I was wondering , is he a mutant lobster ?

If I remember the header, he is a 'space ninja.' I.e., the third ninja after 'Shooting Star' and 'Moonlight.'

Can't wait to get mine - I was able to score one today

that green unpainted vader on knunt went REAL FAST!

His body has lobster traits. I really like it !

Lobster or ebi is beautiful theme !

Look at some pics and you tell me if you can see it :

wow! texture gallore

Did you get the red one as well? I preordered it but noticed that in a few pictures it actually looks like he has a tiny eyeball in the left eye socket. (in the green there is no eyeball.)

Anyway just wondering if that was the case.

I told you fella's he was a BIG beefy textured bastard!!! You just don't realize it until you can see one up close just how much of a brute he is compared to his cohorts....Glad you guy's are finding him appealing,I loved this sculpt when I first saw him..

How is this compared to Cyclomanion? He is pretty damn beefy. Vader seems more on the size of the Ninja skulpt- also what does the back of the Vader look like....does it have a tail?

No tail. If you get a good glimpse of his waste... He has a belt and what looks like a something a sumo wrestler would wear...(no shorts but you'll get the idea) In the back...looks like a sumo wrestler.

Interesting theory Lash. He definitely has some resemblances to the lobster body. This guy is beefy and taller than the ninjas.

I don't own a Cyclomanion,but he's alot bigger compared to the mikizuki Joe.I really don't know how to compare him to the Cyclo since I don't have one,but trust me you'll like him..He doesn't have a tail..

I can definitely see the lobster comparison lash. I always felt the surface looked like a mixture of armour and some type of shell.

Every photograph I've seen of vader he's looking forward. Is the head articulated? Can the head move 360 or does the chin get caught on the shoulders?

Yup the head moves 360. The back is very similar to the front it just continues like you think it would.

All in all this is another great figure and definite growth in the ninja line. Some people where mentioning that the figure is to busy looking , or that they like the bog sculpt better etc...

Well you have to remember this is ichibanboshi and not RxH. Sculpted by RxH but its still ichiban and part of the ninja series.

And being the ninja series its definitely the next step is there ever was one. Again amazing figure and a presence in my collection.

A lot of people are claiming its to busy, but i don't see it being any busier than the Mutant Chaos. I like all the textures and can't wait to see it done in some metallics or even a rub style. It's in my top 5 RxH designs.

I think that's why RxH is so damn good. Diversity. Simple to Complex. An ass for every seat.

LOL - I think this will be the new RxH tagline!

I just got my blue unpainted and I think it's one of the best sculpts for no paint, it's huge, and instantly one of my fav rxh figures ever!

Blue?

blueish greenish, I'm getting old and the eyes go first they say...

With all the no paint figures, I wonder if Mori designs them so they dont need paint.

I know what ya mean slack..I'm not to good with some color's myself.

I'm waiting for the unpainted red pearl edition...

seperated at birth????

Ohhhh painted ??!!

And yes a red pearl would be very nice indeed !

I want a clear smoke gray to match his ninja brothers.
