What are the throwing knives from? Are they Stormy's?

great work, and I love the floor piece. are you using magnets or push pins to get the poses down?

Dang. That classic Hayabusa is fantastic!

Obi-Shinobi · **Posted:** Mon Jun 11, 2012 2:00 pm

Thanks guys.

The daggers are SS's, with shortened handles and flattened blade sides.

Floor piece is custom made from styrene textured sheets, with 4 custom pegs(look closely). Some of the poses do not use the pegs, while others obviously do.

Beautiful. Both are absolutely stunning.

awesome, red ninja looks good painted blue but I like the black one more

Great parts choices- that head for the black fig is just perfect- great paints and dynamic posing.

Outstanding work all round.

And- its good to finally see someone that puts a katana on a hip correctly- blade up. It always annoys me when its wrong, even though its a fairly insignificant detail

This looks incredible! The only thing that I could nit pick and critique would be that the skin tones look more caucasian than asian. Add some yellow and caramel to your skin mix and you should have it.

It's actually darker than it appears. I mixed 2 different skin tones to get this color, because the straight Caucasian color is much more pink in tone. I hear you though... I might have to carefully play with the color a bit.

Thanks again, guys.

Been wanting an old style Ryu for years. Had an ARAH wip that never got finished... looks like it's time to try again! Nice job.

Great work on both of these, but classic is definitely the way to go.

I have the NES intro music stuck in my head now. "I will get my revenge!"

Oh, these are wild. I was looking at the head of the second one (I have that head) and thinking that it would have worked for a NES Stryder custom. Used to put literal DAYS into the NES games.

Echo the blade upward brilliance. I have to fight urges when I visit stores with swords racked blade down to turn them up proper. Especially in mall stores.

Man those are completely incredible, I noticed that Ryu head is also packaged with the upcoming Black Dragon Ninja, I've got to try this, nice, very nice.
