I always liked Quick Kick quite a bit... One of my favorite figures.
Agreed, truthfully one of the best.

A valid and reasonable argument, and an assumption on my part that Storm Shadow could have made that shot. But to me, the use of a compound bow and sound applification equipment by Zartan is evidence enough that Storm Shadow is the better archer. However, there is no concrete evidence provided by Hama in the comic that points to who is the better archer, so it's speculation on our part. And this is why I was slightly irked that Storm Shadow version 2 and Sideshow's Storm Shadow both came with a compound bow; in the mind's eye of my childhood, I imagined that Storm Shadow was skilled enough to shoot as accurately if not more accurate than any technological advancements, and was discipined enough and trained enough to draw his bow string as taut or with enough resistance than a compound bow.
And you are correct, the shot by Zartan that took out Serpentor was longer, and not straight on. Zartan shot vertically (well diagonally, at an angle) up in the air and was able to compute the trajectory in such a way that it hit Serpentor in the head. Impressive. But we'll just have to disagree on this one as to who is the better archer.
EDIT: To get on topic, I can't wait for Duke!

(bah, ____ all the "Duke's coming in May" crap... other than that, there's nothing to discuss about him that hasn't been said in the past 91 pages
.)I dunno. I always took it as a matter of availability. I doubt, in a ninja training camp in the Joe-verse, you'd find a $1k compound bow and scope. They'd want Storm Shadow to perfect his craft using rudimentary weapons. Same reason they didn't have guns. Whereas, Zartan, the hired assassin would've likely bought it just to improve his craft. Just because professional pistoleers use customized guns, doesn't mean they're any less the sharpshooters.
I figure Zartan would have had the accuracy, but lacked the ability to sense where the Hard Master was located. That doesn't make him a less effective archer, so much as a non-super ninja.
Only Flint is a better archer than Zartan.

Flint is a ********* who picks up on lesbians. He's gotta carry around a shotgun to compensate for his failed aim.

Take that to the Flint thread!!! This thread is reserved for comments such as "When's Duke coming" and who is the better archer between Storm Shadow and Zartan!

Only if they're jealous of total fail.
Again, shotguns are compensating for his lack of aim. As for lesbian, a picture says a thousand words, and these scream mullet, sleeveless pendletons and canned tuna air fresheners...

Smart ass. Touche'.edit: I gave you too much credit... when you had it as "look up" rather than "scroll up" I thought you were refering to my shaved head and the fact that I love me some ladies.... refer to my previous posting on the look of her figure.

And just in case there's any further "debating," here's the actress who played her...

Yeah, but you probably dig on mullets, hairy armpits and 5-o-clock shadows anyway. If you pull a "Dundee" and get a handfull, you'd probably just look her deep and the eyes and say, "You better not breathe a ____ing word of this to anybody or I'll have you sleeping with the fishes... understand? Now hurry up!"

I always thought that was a decent way to warm a lady up... 
Are you saying that's out of line?? ....I'm not sure what women want from me anymore? Foreplay? No foreplay?.... Wish the ladies would make up their damn minds.

Indeed. Hopefully Firefly will be following shortly, like how closely the Cobra Officer and Storm Shadow shipped last fall. And with Duke shipping, I hope we get a new Joe announcement / pre-order. I kind of like having three or four G.I. Joe figures in queue.
