Official Sideshow Storm Shadow Photo thread

mine's getting a raspberry beret.

Don't forget to be liberal with the 1:6 chest hair.

Going to bump this thread since my SS just came in.

Finally got the perfect body for this figure. I replaced the old Billy Sole body with a Perseus body. Here are some before and after pictures. I think the new molded muscle bodies are so much better than the old rubber ones:

That looks awesome, and you don't have to worry about the inevitable breakdown of the rubber.

looks awesome. i may have to pick up a perseus body to do that.

 

[EVILFACE]

That does look good. The articulation is limited, but looks great and has more movement than the rubber body.

I love this figure. Great pose, and +1 for the white belt. You should re-wrap the gauntlets on his forearms and shins so the ties aren't hanging out.

Got a new bigger lightbox so can actually do standing poses. Posting some quick pics. Great figure for the price IMO.

looks great....I wish I had this fig...

 

[EVILFACE]

How can you not have this figure???? Fail fail faaaaaaaail.

 

[EXOTICLEX]

because I want the elite version and well it's a little pricey right now

 

[EXOTICLEX]

I didn't learn of SSC until the FF preorder

 

[devilof76]

I paid $200 for mine and I don't regret one penny of it.

Hey gang....bit of a new poster here.

I'm a HUGE Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes fan, but I passed on the Sideshow toys mostly due to cost, but also cause I found some details lacking.

Storm Shadow's should NOT be wearing long sleeves. No idea what's up with that. And the baggy pants don't look quite right. And the arm and legs wraps looks REALLY sloppy and nothing like they should.

If those issues had been correct, I'm sure I'd have taken the plunge.

This thread has showcased some AWESOME customs though...I've been green with envy! If only the figure was that good out of the box!

Anyway, I really apologize if this is old news, cause I haven't read this thread in a looooong time...but I was at toy store today and saw the PERFECT body for this figure...

Enterbay BL 2.5. I guess it's a Bruce Lee body. It would be so freaking awesome for Stormy...muscular, yet slim body with unmistakeably Asian features.

Here's pics if you've never seen it.

So....IF I had the SS figure in the first place...and IF I had an extra $40 bucks or so for this body.....that would be a kick-ass SS.

Sorry if this has already been discussed or suggested....if anyone HAS made a custom using this body, I'd love to see pics!! Thanks!!

The skin tone of his face and hands doesn't match that body and not being able to use the hands means you won't get the full use of all his accessories. Additionally, the articulation there is highly lacking. Great for static Lee poses, like his "hang loose" horse stance, but not so good for a decent aimed bow pose, or reaching for a Katana pose, etc.

Snoozed you loozed.

SS is a awesome figure. He is fine as he is straight from Sideshow or with some tweaks.

 

[Skiman]

^^^ awesome HULK, E

 

[MANDO]

Yeah, just port him over to a TT and he's perfect. BBL bodes are great but there's not much else you can do with them besides make Bruce Lees, unless of course you're down for some modding.

 

[lerath666]

so.. ANYONE recommend good replacement sword-gripping hands?
