I was able to find the Ninja Cruiser at Target and was not so impressed - no winch, barely any paint apps, no spare, etc. So I decided to combine my Vamp with the enclosed rear and add a Hiss chain gun pod. Everything goes together nicely except the Vamp dash is a little tall in the front. I kept the moving platform in the back and the Vamp gatling and pod setup fits OK, but it's nicer as a crew station.

Also - had to do away with the bulkhead in the back - no longer fits.

Enjoy!

That is nice. That's the main thing I wanted the new one for is the canopy. I like the idea of the enclosed top. That gun adds a lot to the look. It looks a lot like something you'd see in Halo setup like that!

I like that combination a lot. The grey and bright green actually look pretty good together like that.

I wasn't able to find the "classic green" version but actually I think the lighter green goes bettter with the gray - you are right.

God that driver figure from the Ninja Cruiser is lame - as bad as Chap Mei.

I just realized that the Ninja Cruiser has NO paint apps at all. Really looks like a bootleg!

Yeah. Articulation took a major hit but I am thankful for the removable gear and head.

Looks good, can't wait to pick a few of these up, tho I'm not too keen on the open roof above the back seat, that should be closed in too.

No paint apps you say? NERTZ! If only there was a site dedicated to explaining how to remedy such a situation :-)

Not sure why the paint apps are such a killer. Neither of the previous VAMPs had any ( nor have any of the HISSes ). The lack of a spare is a bummer, but the winch just got in the way, so I doubt I'll miss it. My main complaint is the base body color, but I may like it more in person.
