The G.I. Joe series of comic books featured ninja far more than the cartoon series, and many story arcs revolved around Scarlett, Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow, Jinx, Kamakura, Firefly and the Arashikage ninja clan, which consisted of an extended family of ninja characters (never featured in the toyline or cartoon).
And here are some 1/6 scale ninjas featured in the G.I. Joe storyline: one (1) Storm Shadow, two (2) Firefly and three (3) Snake-Eyes.
Hasbro 1/6 scale Storm Shadow is from the animated "G.I. Joe: Spy Troops" movie and was released with Snake-Eyes plus DVD in 2003. More pictures available in my earlier post of April 11, 2008 titled: "Storm Shadow, ninja warrior"
Two 1/6 scale COBRA Firefly figures: Sideshow 12-inch Firefly (reviewed HERE and HERE) and Hasbro Firefly action figure (more pictures HERE)
G.I. Joe Snake-Eyes (from left to right: Snake-Eyes from the "G.I. Joe: Spy Troops" animated movie - more pictures HERE, Snake-Eyes from the recent "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra"film BEFORE and AFTER, and Hall of Fame Snake-Eyes with the body switched for more articulation and a total outfit change.)
Have you considered getting the Sideshow 12" Snake Eyes? It looks awesome and is armed and kitted out to the teeth! :D

thanks i did consider it but felt that sideshow priced him too high plus at that point when he came out, there were other goodies to get :)
ReplyDeleteGreat Article, What's on Storm Shadow's Chain?
ReplyDeletethanks :) the original elastic band used to hold Storm Shadow's two sheaths for his swords became loose so I had to improvise and use the chain instead.
