Sideshow Storm Shadow!

[DPrime]

Yeah, I was on a military course when the pre-order came up, unfortunately. The wait list hasn't failed me yet, though... but I'm getting a bit concerned about Stormy here...

 

[Khev]

Beautiful figure.

 

[the angry orc]

Beautiful figure.

100% truth! can. not. wait.

 

[onethousandmasks]

I still dont care for the pro body. Luckly I have a Saturday Toys body waiting for him.

 

[Malakite]

He does look a little skinny, hey! No matter, I like it! Oh When is it gonna ship??

 

[Skiman]

They are saying Sept.

 

[EVILFACE]

Ninjas should have a athletic build, not body builders. He looks fine on the pro.

Im all for athletic, but SS has the same problem that SE has. The sideview looks as if its a kid wearing a costume.

 

[EVILFACE]

Eye of the beholder, but kid not found.

 

[The Craw]

try looking at it sober. i can't see the kid either.

 

[Malakite]

I think he meant the outfit looks a little oversized for the body. Maybe.

Besides, shinobi shozoku are supposed to be baggy, conceals most of their weapons.

Ok, kid is a bad example. But imo he looks scrawny. Regardless if his outfit is baggy, his arms are too skinny, the same as SE. And look at the side view of his left leg (around the knee), skinny. Im not saying is not a great figure, I preordered him as soon as he was up. Im just stating my dislike of the pro body, well on this figure anyways.

Yeah it wouldnt look bad if he had a classic Ninja outfit, but SS has parts that are skin tight (arms, neck).

 

[Bloodsport]

oh boy, here we go again with this bullcrap. First Snake Eyes's lil skinny kiddie arms now its Storm Shadow lil skinny arms and his clothes is too tight. Next Duke, first everybody love him. Then everybody complaining about his head. he got the same pants as Snake Eyes, same grenades, same skinny arms. Bla bla blaaaaa! Enough, these are the best GI Joe's figures EEEEEEEVER!!! Stop complaining.

Snake Eyes was a legitimate issue. The lycra top just didn't flatter the shape of the Pro's torso and it's tiny middle-abdomen, oddly shaped muscles and thin joints. He may as well have just been shirtless. Storm Shadow is a non-issue. The material covers his arms and is thick enough to adequately hide the oddities that made Snake Eyes look so bizarre.

That said though, I'll never get why people think that ninjas should look like those Hawaiian muscle warrior shirts.

 

[lerath666]

considering replacing snake eyes shirt, or simply adding a neopreene one from triad

The Loading Toys "Dangerous Man" Sweater works well for bulking Snakes up, while giving a nod to his 1982/83 incarnation.
