1:6 SSC GI Joe Ninja Viper (ComicCon Exclusive)

[ProgMatinee]

the gloves are cool, but its not like I didn't have a dozen extra gloved hands sitting around from the cobra troops and cobra commander.

I doubt they'll be making unique gloved ninja hands.

 

[The Josh]

Thats true on both accounts. Not super special just glad they did.

 

[DinoDB1975]

You know, it would be a pleasant surprise if the ninja hands came gloved as well. I guess we'll have to wait until the reveal next week to see.

 

[The Josh]

Yup, thats the nice thing you don't have to wait that long to get to see stuff.

 

[DPrime]

I love that he comes with an Uzi. OF COURSE ninja would use guns - guys like Storm Shadow are the exception to the rule. These guys are sneaky bastards and would use any and every weapon to their advantage.

He reminds me of a James Bond movie...I vaguely remember a Sean Connery Bond movie where Bond and a team of ninjas armed with guns assaulted some island base. Anybody remember this film?

You Only Live Twice. Love that one - the end is classic!!!

Sadly he would forget all the kenjutsu he learned by Die Another Day and get his ass kicked in a fencing match.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

he did draw first blood though....

Well, thats exactly what I do when I see something I don't agree with. Especially, if I see someone who is talking out of their backside. You're moaning and groaning on something that you would be in the clear minority and actually piss other fans off and yourself if you missed it.



Yeah, but not when you look at how many Joe figures are made reg/ex for each figure. This will be something like 1000 pieces total thats small for a Joe figure overall. Yes, they make it easier for those not going to the Con and they are one of the few that do. Let them go back to the the lottery that they used before I started going or like some that it can only be and folks will really _____.

Really the internet you say? Thats a awesome. Well, generall about 10% of each of these is made to those not going. That would be 100 if the ES is 1k. Now, some will pick it up and sell which makes it easier along with a few that don't get picked up may come back up. However, with a smaller edition size than regular joe figures folks will miss out thats really a simple fact.

Dude, Im not going back and forth with you on this, and I can see how what I wrote can be misinterpreted as hating on the fig when in fact it was directed to the re use of the gun (especially after the bith node 100$ fiasco). Please tell me how Im talking out of my ass by only stating an opinion? and I challenge you to find me a post where I ever complained (and there are lots of complaints) on how I missed out on anything SS has released, christ I got a Guardian Pred last year and if I didnt I wouldnt have said ____.

The ES debate is relative to the line in debate. Yes 1000 ES Destro would have fans in an uproar, slightly. DO you think a 1000 ES ex Doc would bring the same complaints? Doubt it, this line just doesnt have the power that say SW does. No one misses out on the Ex, especially now that scalpers know they cant flip these for profit

SS is a business trying to make money and there choices are based on that alone, to think anything else is foolish

That being said Im still getting a grey ninja but no 100$ bare bones Figran D'an

The ninja's green.



I wish it had been doc.

You can bash one for less than Sideshow'd charge.

 

[screamingmetal]

I'm liking this release more and more. Love the black gloved hands and bracers look too. I just hope they give him the same "Wolverine Claws" the smaller counterpart came with.

Using the gun though isn't a big deal either really. He's gonna come loaded like the other ninjas and come with a gun. Its really no sweat off anyone's ass I think and probably won't cost anymore than than the red ninja.

You have a right to your opinion. I'll just trust my own pov an experience over watching things in this market for nearly a decade and going to comic-con for the last 7 years.

Obviously the ES of pieces is dependent of what line we're talking about. Based on what I've seen from various Joe fans they would ____ themselves really with anything other than a trooper or ninja variant. Thats just incorrect people still miss out even as easy SS makes it. 10% of those not going get a chance to get these items any more than that comes from those going selling it afterwards. Still more folks not going that would want them will not end up with them than those that don't but do.

I'm not getting the band leader either.

I'm sure Doc will come sooner or later.

That yours Nam? Not bad... Though I would have gone with a less bulky/geared up look. I always tend to think of Doc as one of the original team members, since I got him as a mail-away as part of that "original team" offer back in the day (along with Grunt, Flash, Stalker and Rock and Roll).

The green aviators really make the character, though. I hope Sideshow doesn't forget those.

Still looking forward to this ninja!!!

I buy the figures for the box.

 

[thenammagazine]

I don't think the uzi's a problem. Worst case scenario, just it in the box.

You know EF makes boxes, right?

 

[DPrime]

Nice job Nam!

All you need now is a stretcher and that grenade launcher thing he came with (for flares, I guess). Was that thing based on anything in reality?

I don't think the uzi's a problem. Worst case scenario, just it in the box.

No kidding.

I didn't. Is there a true blonde option? I'd love to see that.

I just don't like customs, in general. I will always choose to get a licensed figure over even the best kitbash. I don't know why exactly. Maybe I'll figure it out one day.

Have you tried making one? I didnt care for them either until I tried making one. I was hooked after that.
