I love the sculpt too. It's getting a lot of hate but I dig it.

It certainly is striking.

It's another distinction and nice looking model. At first I wanted it to have more of a Domaru look, but it's grown on me.

It is not at all what I had expected but I like him... I do love the old-fashioned Samurai armour bits and I think he works well for someone who is nicknamed "cat". I will order another Domaru so I have thre plus Neko when he's released wheeeeee! :)

I'm not a fan of the head with its dragonball hair. I like the pose, and the rest of it, but the head puts me off.
As I've already converted my own figure from another Domaru, I won't be getting this one. I don't like it enough.

It has a very "anime" feel to it that's for sure.

I agree with Chromedog though, the Dragonball hair has to go.

I am still undecided on the hair. He kind of reminds me of Mugen from Samurai Champloo http://saharafrost.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/champloo_mugen0423.jpg

Imay either keep the har, file it offnd give him a samurai-style hairstyle or even a Domaru helmet. Not sure yet.

Somehow, I had always imagined Neko Oyama to be George Takei in samurai power armor.

The pose reminds me of Saitou Hajime's Gatotsu zero stance.

I must admit I like that Idea... he has a very characteristic face, I think that should be sculptable... hmm... may be worth a try.

The Tohaa are quickly becoming one of my favorite factions... I might need to update my Signature soon...

Best part is both the Chaksa AND Neko would work for my character in our Homebrewed RPG.

Copied from the April Release Thread.

But I think it would look good painted differently.

Really like the sculpt detail, his pose, the overall look of the mini.

As for the anime-style head? It's nice to get a mini that gives a nod to the roots of Infinity, there have been far too many (admittedly cool looking) helmeted heads recently! :)

Yes, this one is a better Hajime example, 100% pose match.

Notice the holding hand.

Very true... I do like the pose :)

Can you recommend that Manga btw?

Rurouni Kenshin is definitely a good read.

The anime series is also pretty good, but flakes out toward the end. Samurai X, the prequel OVA, is awesome.

With the samurai armour bits it might be a fun conversion to give him a kasa (one of the flat conical Japanese farmer hats) for people who don't like the hair.

For some reason I'm convinced the Raiden will have them and I suspect I'm going to be disappointed.

Curse you! I forgot all about that stupid meme...

That is anime character gets shocked in any manner and his hair goes into Spiky Mode.

Concept (never seen before?):

The hair was a bit more moderate, less animeish. And he seems to have facial hair too.
