Normally my preference for customs is ARAH accuracy but I felt Dice as well as Slice could use a Classified updated look. I will most definitely add a more vintage accurate Dice to my collection later. But for now?..

I dig the figure but honestly the weapon takes away from it. To final fantasy for me.

The original figure had a very dark color palette. Adding that splash of silver throughout is a unique take that I think visually ties him to his blade. For a guy who was ?too evil? to be a Night Creeper? whose file card quotes him as saying ?I?m a back breaker, a face stomper, and a bone breaker? I say he can use whatever blade he wants to do his dicing and I wont get in his way, or stick around.

Pretty tight. I think the mask is pretty indicative of Dice, but let's see what else you come up with!

I think the figure with weapon is great as is, and has that Classified look about it. The mask came out really nicely, and the figure has a sinister look with it.

I think the whole idea of Dice, as a whole, is already leaning into a fun-fantasy "rule of cool" territory already so the weapon is fitting. If he were going for a real world Dice then maybe get rid of it but I think it looks really cool and in the context of a fictional ninja it fits really well.

Awesome! Tell you you're finishing the rest of Ninja Force. I remember the Snake Eyes you did not that long ago, that one was a work of art.
