Hot Toys-MMS 193-GI Joe:Retaliation Storm Shadow Specs + Pics

[Kibagami]

Looks cool.

 

[Royce12]

Thanks guys. I have already changed Storm Shadow's pose 3 times. So many options.

 

[Royce12]

Decide on a simple pose. Found that it works good for both characters. Ninjas don't have to flex muscle.. Their appearance alone gives them a presence.

Great pic. But you have one of his Sai in the wrong way.

 

[Royce12]

You are talking about the one at the top right? I knew it should be at the bottom but I liked it up top with the swords. I wish both would fit at the top but there is not enough room.

Yeah. The thing is, with the angle they are at, it works out better to have them on the bottom.
But go nuts, lol, if you prefer that.

 

[Royce12]

I may change it.. But I will probably leave it! Lol

Sure. Just keep it as is. Never let anyone tell you how to display *your* collectables.
I only mentioned it in case you didn't know that's not the way it's meant to be.

 

[Royce12]

Yeah I know. You are always helpful around here.

Is there a good body to use with the unmasked sculpt and the suit and tie? Stormy seems to have much more of a tan than even Wolverine.

I have used the ubiquitous $24 bootleg on mine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Custom-Ver...9180?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item1e7e175ccc
As he has an attached neck, all you need worry about are finding suitable hands. And they are far enough away from his face that a slight colour discrepancy can be fine.

Thanks, that looks like it should work out great! SS can borrow some hands from Wolverine or Tony until I find some closer matches.

Nice display, too.

Thanks. I always have Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow in mirrored poses.

And yeah, those hands will work fine.

Yes, I did...

The character has absolutely grown on me.

Bad movie, bad story, bad acting, bad almost everything.

But Byung-hun Lee is awesome, and the figure is absolutely outstanding.

 

[Royce12]

Nice pose. I've never even seen the movie! Lol.. I heard enough bad things about it to stay away but that didn't stop me from picking up this guy. Awesome design!

It's not as bad as the first one was. A bit more of a live action cartoon that the first one was. With stronger ties to the cartoon than before.
Still *kind of* bad, but not *as bad* as the first one.
Worth a watch. You might be surprised!

 

[Royce12]

I'm going to check it out tomorrow then. Hopefully it does not make me want to go buy some of the other characters! Lol

 

[playboy409]

I thought the movie was entertaining. But I did go in with low expectations after the monstrosity of the first movie.

Most of the figures are still available at retail or less.
Here in the UK, Forbidden planet sold off their allocation of Joe Colton for £50/$83 before shipping(Although i wasn't able to get in on that deal).
I have Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Joe Colton(Which i still have boxed) and a spare Snake eyes boxed i picked up in a trade.
I am half tempted to just get Roadblock and complete the set.
But Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are the real icons in my eyes. So i might just sell off my Colton and Snake Eyes spare.

It's not a great movie, but it's still a fun way to kill an afternoon. Definitely about as silly as I remember the cartoon.

I've got a body on the way for the unmasked head and suit, as well as a second more casual look. Might pick up Snake-Eyes to go with him, too bad the movies skipped out on revealing his face or giving him the rubber mask disguise he used in the comics.
