Official Sideshow Storm Shadow Photo thread

[JMW326]

I had some Christmas cash and picked up a Stormshadow from Amazon for $179. I can't wait for it to show up.

I put my order in for SS the day Darkseed posted about him being $97.00. That was the 23rd. Anyways my card has been charged but the tracking info only shows a label being created. On the 23rd... No further update since then. Starting to become annoyed. Where is my Storm Shadow ?

I am still awaiting mine to arrive and I ordered on the 23rd. It should be here on Tuesday (hopefully).

I got mine awhile back from Hastings. I'm still trying to get a good body for him. I tried to find the old Asian truetype Nam suggested, but I'm not having much luck. I might just go with the truetype advance and keep the white turtleneck on him instead of going with the bare arms look.

How about the Kaustic KP01A body?

Good choice. It's not too big and not too small.

WOW, I can't believe I missed this figure....absolutely amazing...lots of work to "dress" him from the box...spent two hours playing / dressing / posing the figure...had to go to bed before I took any photos...will maybe try some tomorrow...

...spent so much time with him my Han Solo Carbonite 1/6 is still in his box...unloved...maybe tomorrow...I love Christmas...

How about the Kaustic KP01A body?

Here he is with the Kaustic Plastic body. The color is pretty noticeable. I would say they body is closer to the skin tone of an Asian descendant then the head and hands.

That looks pretty good. Body skin might be a little darker than the hands and face, but I could live with it. How are the joints? I see the feet aren't attached. Are there problems trying to transfer his feet over peg-wise?

Honestly not even sure this will body will stay on this figure. There was a few posts wondering what it would look like and so I thought I would share. Joints are great. Nice and tight but doesn't have the full posing ability as the original because of the arms. Feet are the same as a standard TrueType so if there is an easy solution for it then great but looks like a pain in the ass to me. If I do stay with this, Im going to repaint the face and hands to match and also completely resculpt the feet because I hate all of Sideshows ninja feet. I think they look stupid.

Thanks for the info.

I have a truetype advanced coming in right now and I think I'll try it out to see how it looks. If I'm not satisfied, I think I'll just use it for Duke. He's got the floppy arms.

Proportions look really good. Some like a tiny SS and some don't. Has anyone gone the Bruce Lee route? Too tiny?

Arms are okay but the legs in the pants make him look like a rickety old man.

Did a body swap onto the new muscle true type. So of course he is sleeveless now.

Head was a pretty easy swap, used pliars to remove the ball joint from the muscle body's original head. Attach it to the neck first as the head is too deep. Works well.

I swapped in truetype hands as well, therefore no issue with colour match or joints.

Retained the sideshow feet, levered the existing pegs out and used the hot toy pegs. This gave better range of movement and a better pose. No issues with being lose despite being a sideshow socket.

Photos to come, but very happy with the improvement.

 

[EVILFACE]

Uggg those horrible pants!!!!

 

[robbiethepainter]

Yeah Storm Shadow has poopy pants.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

I guess that all DEPENDS on your perspective!

 

[robbiethepainter]

HA!

I like the figure better with the shirt on, I'm not a big fan of showing joints. The pants on the other hand...It's HAMMER TIME!!!
