Before the movie was out, i wasn't too excited about this version of Storm Shadow....however after watching the movie...well it, got me buying G.I.Joe toys again....

Now's here lets check it out:

Overview of the Figure:
Close Up on the Head Sculpt:
Over All Verdict
This figure looks fantastic! The over all apparel is really nicely detailed for figure of its size, which makes it dam movie accurate. another plus point would be the great accessories! (except the over size suriken launcher)
As for dislikes, it would be the over coat which restirct movement.(you can't have t all!)
Between this version and the Paris Persuit version, i have to say....
i would pick this anytime. as i cant comprehand having a Strom Shadow figure un-mask. But again this totally depends on the collectors taste.
To Compare, the older Storm Shadow, is a little shorter compared to the ROC version:
Over All Venom: 9/10

i love this version of stormshadow! i was also a little skeptical at first but i changed my mind after seeing how cool he was in the movie. this killer assassin has definitely class - a "classassin"! ;)
ReplyDeletei actually bought 3 of these and one with the paris/unmasked version (sort of a stormshadow/arashikage white ninja clan of my own!)
