東京ストーム忍者

Now this will be interesting....

Thats really cool. Can't wait to see some of the designs! Maybe i'll design some myself haha

LOL... You are like asking for a new toys.

fantastic idea to spark up those creative gears to roll

Oh! That will be great! I can't wait to see which kind of armors they'll post!

wait, what happened to your iron man costume that I thought was on the works?

Henshin!

Kamen rider stormtooper danny!

This should be fun - now I can combine my cosplay and fashion design skills! ^^

ita-tropper?

I'll come up with something in a minute. Do you want something that is armoured for defence or for speed?

Excellent!!! Starting to work on your gadget gear designs. Thoughts so far are
1. PA system with powerful micro speakers for voice/music
2. Laser video projection system with iPhone interface
3. Wrist mount for iPhone with touch gloves
4. Fiber optic head mounted camera

Let me know what else you want.

Does the design still have to resemble Stormtrooper element? Like Samurai Trooper & Elvis Trooper? Or can be renovate completely?

Looking very good while being practical is possible yet difficult, I'd wore Ironman, Transformers, Gundam, Clone Trooper, Red Royal Guard, Darth Vader, Stormtrooper & several kick-ass armor costumes in my line of business, but none are being practical while being cool at the same time. As long as it involve a helmet, we can't really see what's below our nose without bending our head.

Being a Dance Trooper myself, I understand what's the limitation on the Stormtrooper armor, unlike Danny's armor which had done some modification to improve the mobility.

My last meeting with Movie Mania few months ago, we were brainstorming on creating our own original Stormtrooper design inspired from various movies & cultures, e.g. Micheal Jackson Trooper based on my dance on Thriller, Samurai Trooper from Japan culture, Elvis Trooper from US etc etc~~~

Would love to help, but...... *sigh*

b(^v^)d

I still think Danny should stay as storm trooper, cos its his identity/image in JP
*then again, thats just my opinion though

Do you really need the helmet/visor stuff to cover your face?

*If only i can afford an Ultraman or KamenRider costume

This is going to be so cool. I love how you mentioned Ryu Hayabusa. His outfit is very cool.

Looking forward to it Danny.

Makes sense, Lucas is rather particular about them licensing things.
Would be cool for someone to come up with something totally new and original.
Although I'm still wondering how the drink thing would work out. Maybe with a leg cup holder like the gun holders they use for Gantz?

wouldn't any armour pose movement restrictions? dont have any armour, but general thought i'm having is armours are meant for the fighting stuff, not mobility. For mobility and such you will have to make something hybrid like a ninja outfit retrofitted with a hand, leg and back armours.

This is going to be really exciting. Can't wait to see what people come up with!

I wonder what suggestions you'll get for your new armour, hopefully it's something original and unseen before.

So you're deviating from the 'stormtrooper' iconic styling?

wow, this is completely new territory...

Sentai-up, Danny. You know you want to :P

Wow so like what Morgan Lamia is saying, doing a sentai suit (I almost typed "hentai suit"). Hmm... I can't draw that well, but I can sketch something to the best of my abilities. Drawing armors are some of my favourite things I used to do when I was little... let's see how rusty I am ^^;

Design? I'll think about it ('~')

Sounds like a good idea. That way there are no issues with copyright if you produce merchandise.

Should be something iconic though. Something someone can just look and say "that's Dannychoo" and not is he cosplaying something or just dressing like a ninja. The "D" icon should be visible on the shoulders (or somewhere) like your mascots in my opinion.

Completely agree with the covering for your eyes. Visor, Helmet, or other means. Being "4 eyed" myself, it kind of takes away the coolness of the costume. Couldn't cosplay a Jedi for example, had to stick with a trooper.

Wonder if you should go with a cape as well. XD

Looking forward to what all everyone comes up with. ^_^

Maybe I should give this a try. I'm no designer but this is a perfect excuse to start drawing again XD

Danny O ninja !

Danny gonna get a new upgrade XD Can't wait to see how it turns out^^
Waku waku~ Doki doki~

Awwww very cool. And lol that you tried to ride a bicycle in the armor. I lolled.

Tokyo Storm Ninja huh... There still will be dancing right? Look forward to seeing potential designs on figure.fm.

If only Toei could create a special kamen rider suit for you, then that would be awesome.

Maybe if I have a burst of creativity I could give a go at designs.

Wow I think a huge amount of uploads will be expected LOL...
LOL but I haven't seen any ODSTs yet D:

But I will give it a shot :D

Under what category should ideas be posted under on figure.fm? Might try to tackle this~

http://www.figure.fm/post/en/3544/Tokyo+Storm+Ninja+sketch.html

i did

That'd be great for Danny Choo to have the mobility for a new armor but I'll miss The Storm Trooper Armor .

Well all the best for the armor . Raiden Trooper sounds good but its too tight for my taste

An original suit...that would be interesting....

Danny, can't you wear contact lenses? it would open up alot more opportunities... :D

A Danny original suit...would be interesting to see what comes up...

If you think that the current armour is restricting movement, then you need to get a body suit with armour attached to area need protection, not armour wrap around.

d@@b

Interesting idea, can't wait to see what people come up with. Just remember not to end up like Doctor Octopus and have it fuse to your body in a nuclear accident. :P

Taking on something different is always what you've been after, Danny. This kind of thing isn't new for you. I hope some design comes together for you!

Alright I guess I need to put my prop making skills into suit making. I will see what I can sketch up (not the best drawer but will give it a go). Check figure.fm in a few days and I will see what I come up with.

Looking forward to seeing the designs. I'm not too good at this type of design myself. =/

I'm terrible at art. v_v
Can't wait to see what others come up with though!

I think the recent Bones redesign of The Skull Man, and Lelouch as Zero would be two other really good designs to take cues from. The Zero mask especially seems to lend itself to comfort for glasses wearers while allowing for greater visibility.

I'm sure you know what Zero looks like.

仮面トルーパー：ダニー☆チュー！

I once dressed up as a ninja at work during a Halloween day thing. While I have a ninja style sword, I felt like it might scare people "the wrong way" and so I left it at home. Instead, I got some thin plywood and some black and chrome paint and fashioned HUGE blunted scissors to "run around" with. (I wanted to be dangerous and what would be more dangerous than running with scissors?)

Well, I still managed to frighten a few people "the wrong way" but it couldn't be helped... turns out the costume was just too convincing.

Added - Reference on frontal-side and Rear-Side diagonal views . Body Outlines prepared.

Added conceptual sketch entry -> http://www.figure.fm/post/en/3601/Sketch+%E3%83%BC+Tokyo+SturmNinja+-+too+much+armor+P.html

- A less bulky version coming soon.

I know you didn't like the Decade costume, but it's one of the best sentai costume designed for ease of movement.

Hohohoh, no time limit, Danny?

I'm hyped for this thing, finally I got a strong reason to design something again XD
Already have a few concept in my head, wait a little longer for me Danny XD

I'm happy that you liked the pic! :-)
