Tobias_Jay Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Does anyone know who the people are in the photos on the back wall of the temple? Quote
Aanchir Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Does anyone know who the people are in the photos on the back wall of the temple? No idea. My twin brother suggested that maybe those are Sensei Wu's ninja (excluding Lloyd) once they reach old age? I was thinking a little more cynically, that they might just be different early concept designs of Sensei Wu that the designers wanted to reuse to make the temple feel more ancient. But there's a certain charm to his idea. Quote
Speedza-Demon Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 No idea. My twin brother suggested that maybe those are Sensei Wu's ninja (excluding Lloyd) once they reach old age? I was thinking a little more cynically, that they might just be different early concept designs of Sensei Wu that the designers wanted to reuse to make the temple feel more ancient. But there's a certain charm to his idea. One odd thing I noticed about the mural is that they are all pictures of Sensei Wu with different headgear. One of them has female hair (The same Edna has) for some reason, it looks pretty jarring to say the least. Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Then maybe Aanchir was right, maybe they are concept images of Sensei Wu. Edit: Garmadon could possibly have a double sided head that they are not showing? Edited December 17, 2012 by Wall E2624 Quote
DraikNova Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 That's probably the greatest idea ever. Pretty obvious too, as double heads are used everywhere. Quote
LuxorV Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 The first one? You mean the one that's basically this pic in front of a painted backdrop? If so, I'm not seeing how it looks like a new face print, especially when we have this pic that seems to pretty clearly show the old face print. Actually seems different to me in the box shot, but I may be wrong. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 So much gold The shiny bling is making this a must buy for me, I think I shall have to budget and plot out my expenditure for next year. Quote
Kai NRG Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Looked to me like Garmadon's head is the same as always. But a double head would be most welcome! Quote
Garmadon Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Looked to me like Garmadon's head is the same as always. But a double head would be most welcome! Yes, welcome, but unlikely (IMHO). After all, wasn't everybody hoping that the ninjas were going to get double face too? Besides, it makes no sense to make a double face for one and only one set in the season. I suppose it's possible though, cause Lord Garmadon does get consumed with the Overlord, but (IMHO) it's about as likely as either Zane, Jay, or Cole coming out with an evil turn-around head. Pretty unlikely. Quote
Prominence Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 It looks like I'm getting my Golden Dragon Friday. If there hasn't been a proper review of the Golden Dragon by then I might take some pictures. I could take pictures either way if there's something specific you guys want to see. Quote
Aanchir Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 One odd thing I noticed about the mural is that they are all pictures of Sensei Wu with different headgear. One of them has female hair (The same Edna has) for some reason, it looks pretty jarring to say the least. First of all, the hair Edna has is NOT female hair. It originated on the obviously-male Sumo Wrestler from Minifigures Series 3, and is more or less gender-neutral. And secondly, I highly doubt they're all meant to be Sensei Wu since they all have different styles of beard. Quote
DraikNova Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 Perhaps those are of the people who made the temple? And I´m excited about the review, Prominence! Quote
just2good Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Ninjago is coming back for 2014? WOAH EDIT: Oh, there's already a topic for that. Move along! Edited December 17, 2012 by just2good Quote
DraikNova Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 There´s already a separate topic for that. Quote
GRogall Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 New HR images for all the new Ninjago sets can be found in my BS gallery Quote
just2good Posted December 17, 2012 Posted December 17, 2012 (edited) Got the Drill set and a few others, here is my video review! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HjnlpGOgVzM If you have any picture requests, hit me up! ...And, the Fire Mech! Edited December 19, 2012 by just2good Quote
TimH Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Thanks for the set reviews just2good. I hope to get Kai's Fire Mech with in the next week or so. Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 New HR images for all the new Ninjago sets can be found in my BS gallery Thank you for those pictures! But it looks like Garmadon doesn't have a second face . For anyone who has the new sets, do you know the names of the new suits. e.g Kai ZX, Cole DX. Quote
Garmadon Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Thank you for those pictures! But it looks like Garmadon doesn't have a second face . For anyone who has the new sets, do you know the names of the new suits. e.g Kai ZX, Cole DX. I don't have the new sets, but it appears to be called Kimono (Kimono Kai, Kimono Zane etc.). Quote
LuxorV Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 Thank you for those pictures! But it looks like Garmadon doesn't have a second face . Indeed, on better inspection, I had to reconsider my previous conclusions. Quote
DraikNova Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 The Mech looks awesome stored inside the folded-up temple. Quote
Aanchir Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I don't have the new sets, but it appears to be called Kimono (Kimono Kai, Kimono Zane etc.). That's more or less a fan-term. The actual boxes for the sets just identify them as Kai, Zane, Jay, and Cole. I suppose there's no longer a need for special designations now that the figures are no longer packaged individually as spinner sets or booster packs. It's complicated by the character encyclopedia, which calls Lloyd's new costume "Green Ninja ZX" and his ZX costume just "Green Ninja". I suppose all things considered, "Kimono" is as good a designation as any in lieu of a more official term. Better than PWR at any rate... Quote
Kai NRG Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 The Mech looks awesome stored inside the folded-up temple. It looks... way too out of proportion. Guess it's just me... Quote
Tobias_Jay Posted December 20, 2012 Posted December 20, 2012 I suppose all things considered, "Kimono" is as good a designation as any in lieu of a more official term. Better than PWR at any rate... Yeah that is a good name considering PWR, but I saw somewhere they were called EX (Elemental eXtreme). I quite like that name, seems very fitting. Quote
