I'll dig him out of storage at some point and take a pic of him. I can assure you that neither H.G. Wells nor a flux capacitor are involved. :lol

cool...

i'd love to see the pics...

if it really is a variant of some sort you may also want to let Yojoe.com know about it...

a couple of questions though...

did you buy it new... on card?

was it the later version packaged with the Mission Orders: Desert Recon set?

because that set came out in 2003 and opens up the possibility of accidentally getting a storm shadow forearm included in the mix...

i'm betting it was either a factory error or a running production change of some sort... maybe the in factory overlap for the firefly and the ninja showdown sets is more than it seems from the release dates...

either way, it appears that most of the figures did not come with an arashikage tattoo.

It was the solo Firefly that came out in the Spy Corps line in 2002 and was purchased MIB from TRU. I didn't pick up the Ninja Showdown set until it was clearanced at TRU a couple years later in 2004/5.

You forgot: '' God's an Astronaut...''

Nightbreed..:rock

My favorite Barker movie and possibly one of the most underrated movies of all time. I wish they'd make Imajica into a mini series. ;)
 
I think today is our last crack at this before SDCC, nothing tonight means a longggggggggggggggg wait
 
History says we won't see Jack till sdcc. And it better not be just a PF, that would be a major meh!
 
I think we'll see one 12", one PF and maybe an environment.

I wanted at least 2-3 new 12" shown at SDCC, though. :(

This line is slooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow.
 
yeah... the PF will be either CC or Zartan, my guess is we'll see Zartan in PF long long before we ever get him in 12". :(

the one new 12" we'll see will be either the red scarf Trooper or the Crimson Guard.
 
We've known of the "Scarface" trooper variant forever now. If that's the only "new" 1:6 JOE figure shown at SDCC it'll be a huge FAIL.

I inquired about your arashikage firefly among the hasbro experts over on the trenches forum and someone suggested that this may be the body you are talking about...

it's the body from the 2004 kamakura figure and shares the same head sculpt with the firefly figure (painted differently though)

could that be the one???

Yes and no. Yes, that's the body, and the Arashikage tatto is on the same arm, but no. The headsculpt isn't completely painted, just the balaclava, and there's a cobra tattoo on his left shoulder. I should be headed to storage on Saturday, so if I am, I'll see if I can dig him out and snap a pic for ya.
