Whoa! That looks cool! I wonder what the inspiration was for the figure's color scheme?

Well, the cover to UY 63 is super cool so why not turn it into an awesome figure. :D

Don't you own the original cover art to that issue?

Yes I do. Once I get my spare room back maybe I'll display the two together.

Is the colour scheme simply a reference to the cover mentioned earlier, or does it also pay homage to the history of Usagi Yojimbo as a black and white comic book?

Real talk: I like this significantly more than the convention exclusive version. And that's not just me convincing myself of this one's merits to make myself feel better for missing out on the last one :)

If I could only have one I'd get this one, hands down.

In a way, it reminds me of classic TMNT, with black and white with red bandanas.

Yes.

And there are a bunch of books that have done black, white and red issues. Not Usagi Yojimbo, but this figure certainly evokes that.

This figure looks amazing. It’s the Usagi we all know and love but in a very unique look. I can’t wait for it to be released.
