SSC G.I. Joe Black Dragon Ninja

I actually bought a bottle of Rit dye back when Red Ninja came out but never got around to dying it. Good thing I didn't do it as I can just opt to get this instead.

Enough with the ninjas, lets get some charcters we've been waiting for like Destro.

yup, bring DESTRO asap

 

[DPrime]

Why the ninja/commando debate? Snake Eyes is both.

Heck, ninjas are basically Japanese commandos anyway.

Anyways for those actually getting the figure. Anyone else thinking of using the gun this time? I've got the others holding the more "ninja" type weapons so I may use the gun.

Ninjas with guns aren't ninjas. At least for me anyway.

Ninja = no gun

Ninjas have no honour and will use anything to achieve their objective, so guns are fine by me.

I've got the green one using the Uzi, though. This guy will definitely be using his sword...

 

[EVILFACE]

Because we can.

I want the Night Creeper!!!

 

[Khev]

Now that we have our first figure that originated in the Venom vs. Valor line I wonder when we'll start seeing Sigma Six or Rise of Cobra figures.

 

[LaMelnik]

Ordered - 80's inner child screamed NINJA!!!!

That's what she said!!!

I really digging the way this figure looks, I'll probably pick up a few of them.

i ordered the ex cant pass on the head sculpt but rather have a night creeper or slice and dice a dice would rock

 

[DPrime]

Looking at the cards, in the orignal 82-94 run Snakes Eyes was never listed as a ninja. He is a Commando for all the figures except the Ninja Force, and for those he is a Covert Mission Specialist.

Character development?

At least Snake Eyes was a ninja before they saturated the eighties. So it's cool.

I really doubt it, but one or two might be cool...

Not really. Revenge of the Ninja (being the most popular of the 80's ninja movies) hit in '83. Dr. Venom and our first hint at Snake Eyes' ninja past didn't appear until Issue 10, also in 83. When Ver.2 Snake Eyes hit in '85, around the same time American Ninja was released, the market was well saturated with the whole "ninja" thing.

 

[Kibagami]

Thus began my ninja craze!

 

[EVILFACE]

Yes yes, Revenge of the Ninja. One of the greatest movies ever made.

 

[Adrosi]

I don't know how many times I watched the American Ninjas as a kid. The training centre shot (I'd post pics but can't on this computer) with all the different coloured ninjas was just awesome. I always liked seeing dead ninjas on the ground since then.

 

[thenammagazine]

Yes yes, Revenge of the Ninja. One of the greatest movies ever made.

I was glad to see Kosugi in Ninja Assassin. TOTALLY lent credibility to that movie.

 

[Kibagami]

I was glad to see Kosugi in Ninja Assassin. TOTALLY led credibility to that movie.

He got scarier as he aged. Too bad he didn't speak a lick of Japanese (or did he?); he would have sounded fearsome.

I would hope so given his official website is also in Kangi. : https://shokosugi.net/

No, I meant in the movie.
