Bigbadtoystore has them in stock.

Yea, the newer Asian headsculpt is nice, but the hands will only hold the sword and nothing else and the skin tone is dark. I like the bendy hands of the earlier releases for the ninja.

A heads up for anyone that's looking for the Black Ninja at retail in the US; Legends Toys & Hobbies has them for $44.98:
https://legendshobbies.com/catalog/product_info.php/cPath/66/products_id/359
They're located in Rowland Heights California so the shipping would be less then Toy Square (Canada) which also has the Black one available for $55:
https://www.toys2.net/product.php?productid=20492&cat=251&page=2

These are the last two places that have them available for retail, they're hitting $75 on Ebay now.

Mine was $58 shipped UPS from Legends, which will arrive on Thursday!

Thanks, and welcome to the board!

I got mine yesterday, all's good except mine has a lose right shoulder, hopefully I'll get to replace the body someday.
Now I need to find some replacement Ninja swords for my Alfrex Ninjas, anyone have two extra Mononofu Ninja swords they wouldn't mind parting with?

Thanks for the welcome

Got my ninja from Legends in 2 days! Only the second time I ordered from them and I can't stress enough how great those guys are!
First thing done was changed out the body to the True Type, washed/softened the outfit and 86'ed the tabi boots. I added some custom warachi sandals and leg armor, as well as some braided hemp cord for the armor and To scabbard.
Love the True Type ankles--very stiff!

Those sandles look nice!

Oh, Oh, where did you get those sandals from!!?
I need a pair for my Triad Samurai that's been going barefoot for a weak.

Fantastic update e5sargemac!

Thanks. I made them out of hemp string, using those DML shoe inserts as a base. Then glued string wound beneath to form the sole, as well as binding the outer edge to hide the plastic insert entirely. Then a few loops around the sandal and a piece of string to lace it all up.

I see, neat trick. I have some left over dragon boots with inserts, I might have to try making my own. I originally thought about making Geta sandals which would be easier then actually weaving Waraji, but I prefer Waraji for a Samurai. I do wish someone made 100% authentic woven Waraji sandals, I wounder if Triad will take a request into consideration?

For what it's worth, geta might look a little out of place, at least on a ninja in the traditional shinobi garb, but on a bushi (samurai warrior) they'd look great. The zori sandals included with most of the Alfrex figures would work, and might better serve as a base for building waraji than anything else available, if you happen to have some.

I'd go with waraji every time for ninja figures like these. I have a detailed illustration of how to tie them on in a book somewhere... if anyone's interested I'll see if I can find it and post a reference pic. Might be helpful for people who are thinking of making their own footwear.

Not only look out of place but be very unstealthy.
I'm happy with the Tabi boots on the Ninja, but I wanted to find some footwear for my Triad Samurai (great set by the way) and have been looking everywhere online for some 1:6 Waraji, no luck so far. I might have to wait for someone to part out Ignite's Swordsman for them.
I'd also like to replace the Waraji on my Sonny Chiba Alfrex Ninja, they're very over sized.

I know what you mean about the Chiba Shinichi "Hattori Hanzo" figure, he could definitely use an upgrade there. Monkey Depot would probably be a good bet to part out some Ignite swordsman figures, if they haven't already.

The only problem with them is timing.. you almost have to check in daily or chances are something like that will get snapped up quick. Anyway, hope you manage to find something useful, and if I happen come across anything, I'll let you know.

Awesome!!
I've been wanting to do the same, I'm exploring a couple of alternatives to make this look good...

 

[EVILFACE]

Yea, these ninja figures are pretty damn kewl.

Agreed. Can't wait for the brown one.

They should do even more colors. Then I can have a 1/6 reinactment of the Shaw Bros CHINESE SUPER NINJAS.

 

[EVILFACE]

It could be endless, give us camo ninja!!!!

That turned out very nice! Those sandals are killer. I ordered one of the white Ignite ninja outfits & I'm going to try to dye it another color. I'm thinking a dark blue or brown. I'll post pics soon!

Go for a Blue or a Burgundy, Ignite will be doing a brown ninja soon, so, that'll make yours unique!
