Cobra Ninja Dice...sorta

Hello again, Tankers!

I was inspired today to make a Dice that fits in with my NinJoe-verse. When I started making updated versions of the old Ninja Force characters, I decided early on that I didn't really want to make Dice. I thought the design was way crappy. I did like Slice, though, and justified making him by telling myself that Dice was dead, slain by Kamakura. I attached the "Dice" mask from the CP Resolute Storm Shadow to his belt as a reminder of the sword-brother he must now avenge. Or something to that effect. :P

In the end, though, what is Slice without Dice? I had to make one. Dice is dead, but does he have to stay dead? Hell no he doesn't! I've decided that Dr. Mindbender, after many failed attempts at creating an effective Ninja B.A.T., took it upon himself to secretly exhume Dice's decaying corpse, resurrect it with nanomite technology, and augment his body with cybernetic components, creating zombie cyborg version of Dice! Why would he think that's a better idea than building a better robot? Who knows, the guy's a mad dentist! :P

So here's my Zombie Cyborg Dice. Enjoy!

Recipe:

head, body: ROC CC modified
arms: 25th BAT
upper legs, sword: ROC SS
lower legs: MU Thor
feet: ROC CS SE
armor: POC SS modified
axe: CP Resolute SS

Thanks for lookin'!

Hello again, Tankers. This is a super lame bump, but I'd really like to know what people think. I'm proud of this one. (:

The paint job and color choices look nice, and CC's messed up head is a good choice for a zombiefied resurrected experiment. Something about the bat arms is bothering me, not sure what though. What I really like is the other guys skull face, that's really cool, what's it from?

Thanks, BigErn. The BAT arms are a little problematic, for sure. I think it might be the rolled up sleeves on the upper arms? I tried to cover them up with some arm bands from a couple of Prince of Persia figures, but it might have exacerbated the issue.

The skull face is a ROC PP SE head with the skull mask from an Indiana Jones figure, from the Crystal Skull line. I don't remember the name, though. Sorry.

Thanks for lookin'!

I think the execution is great. Personally though, I'm not a fan of garish color schemes like that. But your skill and innovative use of parts is undeniable. I especially like the way the legs turned out. Those Thor shins have strong potential.

I'm not familiar with the character to begin with. Is there a wiki page or something?

The light saber stick in place of a bo staff is interesting since Dice was a Cobra bo staff ninja.
I like the robo arms. I like the modified CC head. Looks like he'd wear his mask over it.
Overall I like it. Glad you did a Dice in your Ninja Force! Cool original take.
