It's the latest super hero. Anorexia man.

Cheap Prometheus bodies, that's why

I was referring to the execution of the wraps/tabi boots and arms revealed. that set-up with say a Zartan-like body would be perfect I think.

can anyone be kind enough to tell me how I can get some of those great accessories? it will be greatly appreciated as I think that's possibly the best interpretation I've yet seen of Storm Shadow.

They didn't give SS arm wraps because they didn't have the beefy arms to expose due to the Prometheus body hence, the white long sleeved shirt.
As for the tabi boots, just easier to scuplt and cast then to have to stitch up tiny shoes I guess.

 

[EVILFACE]

They gave him arm wraps. Just not the thin bandage type.

Prolly cause once you go to try and change a hand, the bandages will slide right off and unravel.

makes sense

I would have still preferred it over the more traditional ninja load-out we did get. I guess to me it was more "GI JOE" accurate.

Gotcha!

I didn't understand the conversation, my bad. I thought you were saying that the body of a high level gymnast wouldn't make for a good ninja body, thought we were discussing like what ifs...

I'll read further back next time.

Oh...and I can't leave after a talking about ninjas and gymnasts without posting this....

LOL...I had to Google that, hilarious: https://www.avclub.com/articles/gymkata-proves-that-tiny-gymnasts-make-tough-heroe,72094/

Wow, Gymkata is on DVD. I have to admit I'm tempted. I can put it next to my "The Last Dragon" dvd.

I should mention something about stormshadow.

What body would beef him up better? TTM 19 or TTM 21?

I say go with the TTM-19. I tried both bodies out and TTM-19 is a lot better IMO.

Damn, I'm dating myself but that movie SUCKED...

Whoa, kind of weird to read through a thread backwards a bit and stumble on a post like this. I'm all, okay you don't have a significant other but are proudly dating yourself and were therefore surprised that a ninja movie sucked? I don't see the correlation.

And then I'm "OH *dating yourself*" as in showing your age.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Remember the naked crazy guy in gymkata? Of course you do.

 

[Ultra8294]

Not really a collector of statues anymore and I didn't want to start again, but I just love SSC design of StormShadow in this one. So I did the next best thing...

 

[Khev]

That's extremely cool.

 

[supermasterhulk]

Really love that pose. Cant wait for hot toys SS.

 

[C0L0SSUS]

That hood adds so much to this figure. And that pose is so dynamic!

 

[HeubertMichael]

Great mod work, Ultra. You inspire me to hunt down for an SSC Storm Shadow and try to do what you've done. Awesome job, buddy!

 

[Ultra8294]

Thank you gentlemen for your kind words.
I really enjoyed pulling off this one.

 

[onethousandmasks]

The HT figure will never look as cool as this one.

 

[HeubertMichael]

Ultra, did you use TTM-19 on your Storm Shadow? Does it match the skin tone on the headsculpt?

Darn I just missed out on an MISB SS that went for $175.
