Black Sun is a great sculpt, but it feels like something is missing somehow?

Maybe a bit of silver? Or color some of the "fleshy" bits brown.

I like Black Sun but it does not do a very good job of actually looking like Black. Looks more like a generic hopper man. A cool one but still.

The design is warming up to me and I too feel it's lacking something for me as well...maybe more of the gold/orange accents throughout the suit to break up some of the black because he does look a bit generic and makes me think of the darkroaches from Kamen Rider Blade

THIS- I knew it reminded me of the Dark Roach mooks

I've seen a fair few people say that it's the eyes being black -- in the original design, the large red eyes created a very important contrast to the almost completely monochrome design. I think these fan edits do a good job of portraying what feels 'missing', though since the movie seems to be going for a very different take on BLACK in the first place - the central conflict between Kotaro and Nobuhiko is fundamentally different, for instance - I'm willing to give the designs a shot and say it's purposeful.

When the design was first released in full detail the lack of red eyes was the first thing I noticed and made me think oh wow they're really trying hard to differ this from the original KR Black design.

I'm warming up to the eyes more becauee they're not as dark as they originally seemed and have a light blue tint but yes that fan-edit with the red eyes makes the design pop more and closely related the original Black design

I think the fleshy colored joints that OG Black had would do a ton towards making Black Sun look better. I'd still love red eyes too, but the grey eyes are growing on me.
