Official Sideshow Storm Shadow Photo thread

[onethousandmasks]

I'm actually waiting on the ACI gladiator body. I think that one might be the "just right" size. I'm just wondering how I'm going to get the sideshow feet on the legs.

I dont know, it looks to be as big as the Royce/Dastan/Wolverine/Thor/Comedian body, but I hope you are right.

The real question is, how do I get the sideshow feet on the ACI/hot toys body, minus replacing the lower legs?

We wont know until we get one in hand. The lower leg might be comparable to the TT. Their other loose body has the same ankle joints as the TT. In my case the feet are not an issue since I'm using the Ignite ninja's tabi boots.

They better offer that body seperate!!

To anybody that has an idea of how to convert those feet, please help me out. Any help is appreciated.

That's gonna be about the size of the T-800 body. They designed it with Arnold in mind. Too huge for SS.

The Flamma figure is going to be that big? I thought it would be the size of Wolverine. Same size as Arnold; that's a hefty figure.

Exactly why lots of us are hopeful getting Dutch off the rubber body. But they made reference to "a certain Austrian body builder" at Toyfair in regards to the body.

ebay has these slide on muscle arms

Has anyone used these on a ss? Will they fit the existing body and if so how much do they usually cost?

Makes me want it even more. Now I really hope someone like Toy Anxiety or Viking Playground parts this baby out.

I just thought about it. How do you guys think the Playhouse D-Boy body would look for old Stormy? I know that the body is pretty static but I think it might be worth a shot. I just hope I can twist and bend his wrists a little bit. Let me know what you guys think.

Go with the standard TrueType. They're action figures so it's a nobrainer that they'd have joints.

Might have to, but don't want to. GI Joe is my life! I can't skimp on those one bit! People are all excited or the next HotToys figure, while I'm excited about when Zartan hits.
Nobody has any thoughts on the Playhouse D-Boy body for Stormy?

That playhouse body looks like poo.

Get a standard TT and call it a day.

You're talking about not skimping, but wanting to buy a $17 Playhouse body vs. a $30 Truetype?

I already have truetypes. I am strictly basing on looks. I just want to go for a good look and I thought the playhouse body might look decent, that's all.

If you're looking for sculpted muscles, the Wolverine-type body looks the best from the muscle bodies I've seen. I went with a nod to the oldschool action figure and gave him a T-shirt look and the wrapped forearms. If you scroll back a few pages, you'll see MANDO's. Mine's like that with short sleeves though.

 

[Unclechopchop]

Argh! I'm sick of facing the fact that I will probably have to drop a note on a stupid muscle body! It's insane to pay such a price considering the whole figure didn't cost much more initially.

I was eyeballing these as well. On the fence about them but not sure which way to go.
