I liked it when Snake Eyes didn't carry a sword, when he was, you know, a COMMANDO, not a ninja.

Back when he was a commando who was an expert in edged weapons and various martial arts? Or did you just ignore his file card when you played out your little fan fiction battles as a kid? ;)

Does your love for a scrawny non-martial artist come from Devil's Due or something? You're free to re-invent the character however you like, I'm just curious as to whether you were drawing on a specific non-classic source for inspiration. ;)

1982 SE had muscles that bulged through a thick sweater and was a master of edged melee weapons and oriental fighting styles.

Chuck Norris and Steven Seagal also fit that description. Neither is a ninja. I'm not picking sides here, just stating reality.

And we can only say that because their respective backgrounds are public information. If every movie Norris and Seagal did was "Starring UNKNOWN," and periodicals and the internet had no information on them then ninja training would certainly be consistent with a number of their skills.

You can say, "I liked it when SE was a total mystery" and that's fine. You can't say "I liked him before he had ninja training" because technically that time never existed. His ninja background wasn't a retcon, it was an explanation of the mystery that was consistent with his rare capabilities.
 
I got to give it up to sideshow, they make pretty damned good ninja weaponry and other sundry Japanese medieval blades.
 
So, the ex is just a sword handle and not a complete sword.
This is one of the worst ex's ever.
They could really use a pic with all the gear laid out. The product page isn't very clear on what you get.
 
Lose the vest, gloves, and forearm guards and other than the camo pattern and face mask not being spot on you've basically got a near perfect 88 SS.

Near Perfect? I don't think so. Leg armor is completely different also wrong color, waist pouches are missing, backpack is different, claw should be longer, straighter, everything on this is different.

I still like it though.
