The movie-accurate collectible is specially crafted based on the image of Lee Byung Hun as Storm Shadow in his white ninja bodysuit in the movie, highlighting the new developed heads, highly detailed costume and weapons.
After the successful release of "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra", Rob Moore, the studio vice chairman of Paramount Pictures, stated in 2009 that a sequel would be developed. In January 2011, Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick, the writers of Zombieland, were hired to write the script for the sequel. Let’s continue the ninja battle between Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow in this sequel!
Storm Shadow is a fictional character from the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toyline, comic books and cartoon series. He is best known as the Cobra Commander's ninja bodyguard, and for his history with fellow ninja Snake Eyes. Throughout their history, he has changed sides several times; conflicted in loyalties between Cobra, G.I. Joe, and his blood brother, Snake Eyes. Storm Shadow is one of the most prominent characters in the G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero franchise, and has appeared in every series since its inception.
Storm Shadow is portrayed by Lee Byung-hun in the 2009 live-action film G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, who will reprise his role in the upcoming 2013 sequel G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Scroll down to see more pictures :) Remember to click on them for a bigger and better view.

ReplyDeleteStrom Shadow looks neat and so clean. I like the Joe-Cobra rivalry on the 2 characters. I will definitely get one of each or maybe 2 of each.
