Zartan having a bigger head in the Storm Shadow mask is a nice little detail. They are different characters in similar garb. A poster on IG We R Figures has pics with SS and red Ninja. They do look awesome. This is a great figure with loads of accessories. How amazing would it be to have fists or splayed out hands? Hasbro has options for re-release with shuriken holding hands, fists, splayed out hands. Different weapons like nunchucks. Hasbro I give you permission to repack this dude a few more times to get more accessories as such. You can do that with Snake Eyes too. Very nice review. Look forward to it.
I don't think it has to do with a bigger head. I think they just designed with a different hole and peg sizes, which is really a shame that they are not interchangeable. They should be like Legos -pop and lock. They should do a deluxe stormshadow like snake. Or with a bike or something equally cool with more weapons and interchangeable hands.
A stellar figure. I'd take it in red as a more simplified red ninja, or members of The Hand. The hood seems replicate a cobra's neck frill. Totally cool figure.
Would have loved to have seen you try some MCU flesh hands in there, also the bow should be the one that came with Zartan and Arctic Stormshadow but it's an easy switch so all the stars out of five on this guy
Thanks for the comparison with white mmpr. It was me btw who asked for the comparison but on ig. I'm surprised mmpr white is whiter than this, might be your lighting but from 1st glance, I thought this would be whiter than mmpr, kinda like dino thunder white which I think has the best white molded plastic so far for LC.
Recreating issue 46 cover in my display. Marvel run that is. Mad as hell I sold that issue. The hood, I remember a hooded look with our first Joe Storm Shadow figure but never this look. Easily tossing that in a gear bag and storing away. Other than that I'm digging. Storm Shadow still the Superior Tommy. 🍵
Instead of Gloves hands, needed to come with various bare hands in different martial arts styles. Like MK Shang Chi came with. Hopefully you can utilize those for Storm shadow.
Now I gotta buy this guy. Gee thanks for peer pressuring me into it. J/k I was going to anyways. Nice review sir. You do decent posing. Better then mine.
I'm actually a big fan of the artic mission storm shadow figure and this classic version looks great. I liked the movie version for what it was but that off white is a turn off. I hope they make the white and grey pattern storm shadow next.
I like him so much I had to pay 6x retail to get one early. It looks like croc master Is going to show up in June or July with spirit and stormshadow, probably early for yo Joe June and I'll wish I had waited I'm sure. Also got spirit and two each python patrol bat and vipers, man I gotta stay off eBay and wait patiently but my favorite characters of All the Joe's are tomax and xamot so if the show up as scalper exclusives I'll probably jump on them too. The trooper and croc master I'm waiting for the release tho and I should have spirit and stormshadow early next week. Had pp bat and vipers fit for a few weeks. I wish they'd done v2 first because that's my favorite SS, and I feel like they should've made him exactly like the 84 version with sleeves and small wrist wraps. These figs would look so much better with a diaphragm cut instead of the one they use imo but I love them either way.
Yeah. Didn't care for the movie Tommy storm shadow was the only good thing. If you used a cyclops head with snake eyes and paint the hair blonde you would have a comic snake eyes
It is most definitely a fantastic figure, the only slight issues I found is my bow is very loose on the peg and likes falling off. The other is the hood that I decided just remove in general. I got rid off both parts as he looks way better without either accessory. I also found my ones left arm is a bit loose as well. But in all this is an excellent bit of work 👌
For some reason my zartan extra head, the snake eyes head is small and fits on my movie figure but SS head has a huge peg hole, I think they did that just so ppl couldn't make custom stormshadows before they put out this one.
I wish it had an extra holster on the legs. It wouldn't have been show accurate, but I think it would have added a little more to the design. No big deal. That can be adjusted swapping gear.
Thanks for the review. My only issue about this StormShadow is that you can't remove the quiver from the two sheaths on his back would give more options in displaying/fighting. FYI technically their only been three releases of SnakeEyes in the wild. The fourth one is the Fortnite SnakeEyes which is yet to be released. I'm also predicting that we would get new RedNinjas with this mold that works great as HandNinjas for are Marvel Legends.
I got my Stormshadow figure early this week along with Spirit. I love them both but i have to admit that i wish they make the version of Stormshadow with the arm tattoo. By the way you missed a swivel articulation on Stormshadow that is just where the top of his forearm armor starts
@@FemboyBunnyGW Would have gladly sacrificed that for the tat and gauntlets. Plus they would have broke up the white so he doesn't look so plain. The Red Ninja is dumping on him detail wise.
Love how he just falls over. Give us a stand Hasbro! And seriously a ninja should have hand options. They’re doing them for Sarge but not SS? Just chopping hands would of been much appreciated.
This should have been the first release, idk why the picked V3 from the vintage arah line to do period, let alone before this one. Btw, I thought he, along with spirit and croc master weren't going to be released till summer?
Careful with the legs on some of your Joes. Robo has a method to making sure you don't stress the plastic when first trying to loosen up those legs. He uses some type of oil. Just a drop or so. The name escapes me at the moment.
I love it. It's very nice, but it's not a perfect Storm Shadow in my book. I'll take it of course, but it's not perfect. Here's my thoughts for what they are worth: 1) Storm Shadow doesn't need the other hood or the neck piece. They don't really work. They also make very little sense, as they're NOT part of his original look, and they're impractical. A ninja needs to be able to hear noises all around him. With one hood on, it's a challenge. With two hoods, that's like wearing ear muffs. It makes no sense. Also, the outer hood obscures his peripheral vision. Ninjas gotta see foes coming. So the other hood is crap. 'Nuff said there. 2) The gloves suck. They're just unnecessary, and they seem clumsy in terms of design. Plain hands or hands with just the back fist part covered would have been far better. 3) His Cobra emblem is too small when you compare it with the original figure. It's throwing off some of his classic look. That's the price you pay for butterfly shoulder joints I guess, but it's certainly not as bold as it could be 4) His belt could use some decent sized pouches. This gimpy lil' pouches are ridiculous. His original belt was just a sash, but if you're gonna go to the trouble of giving him a combat/military style belt, give him something to carry on it. 5) Black toes and soles on the tabi boots aren't really necessary. It's just a little distracting to the design. 6) How about some actual loose shurikens?? Is that too much to ask? Two throwing stars that he can hold would be a nice addition. 7) A compound bow? He originally carried a traditional recurve short bow. Hasbro is trying to have things both way. Part classic, part modern. Pick a lane, bros. Here's a drawing of SS that I did a few years ago for a fan. This is pretty much how I'd like to see him in figure form. Your mileage is sure to vary: www.lostonwallace.com/stormshadow100.jpg LOL. Just my two cents. I definitely love what Hasbro did here, but it ain't perfect. It's still very much worth the wait regardless. Nice review!
I gotta say GI Joe is right on marvels tail, outstanding figure. 👍🏽
as Robo says, Bright white!..Storm Shadow using Mr. Tide..awesome figure...that camera's so clear even the swords shimmer

Thank you MCUcollector very happy i saw your review first, very happy i pre-ordered this 2 months ago!
A stellar figure. I'd take it in red as a more simplified red ninja, or members of The Hand.
The hood seems replicate a cobra's neck frill. Totally cool figure.
Probably my favorite in the entire line so far.. Can't wait to get my hands on one.
Just opened mine. It's amazing. I came looking for a review on the best way to have him hold the bow and arrow. Thanks for your commentary on it.
Would have loved to have seen you try some MCU flesh hands in there, also the bow should be the one that came with Zartan and Arctic Stormshadow but it's an easy switch so all the stars out of five on this guy
When I first saw the promo images of this guy... I just knew that I had to get him. 😍👍👍
I just bought storm shadow and spirit. Amazing classified figures!
I can't wait to get Storm Shadow
In my Cobra collection 🐍
A first-rate review of Storm Shadow and his cool accessories!
By the way, nice poses!
Thanks for the comparison with white mmpr. It was me btw who asked for the comparison but on ig. I'm surprised mmpr white is whiter than this, might be your lighting but from 1st glance, I thought this would be whiter than mmpr, kinda like dino thunder white which I think has the best white molded plastic so far for LC.

Storm Shadow still the Superior Tommy. 🍵
I've got that comic! Great cover and good idea!
Thats a sick Snake eyes vs Storm Shadow pose
Can't wait. Loving this line, love your work
Instead of Gloves hands, needed to come with various bare hands in different martial arts styles. Like MK Shang Chi came with. Hopefully you can utilize those for Storm shadow.
Now I gotta buy this guy. Gee thanks for peer pressuring me into it. J/k I was going to anyways. Nice review sir. You do decent posing. Better then mine.
Love this storm shadow. I liked him best without the hood.
So glad i have him.. thanks for the review

Be interesting to see what he looks like with the unmasked movie head on.
Yeah. Didn't care for the movie Tommy storm shadow was the only good thing. If you used a cyclops head with snake eyes and paint the hair blonde you would have a comic snake eyes
This is the best. Storm shadow ever.
It is most definitely a fantastic figure, the only slight issues I found is my bow is very loose on the peg and likes falling off. The other is the hood that I decided just remove in general.

Nice review! Must have this version of Storm Shadow!
6 months later... *BOOM!* 🥷🔥🔥🐍🐍🐍🐍this figure is🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Very frustrating when peg holes aren't the same size, especially within the same line. The figure is awesome though. Can't wait to have him.
Why should they? Ok maybe zartan head swaps
For some reason my zartan extra head, the snake eyes head is small and fits on my movie figure but SS head has a huge peg hole, I think they did that just so ppl couldn't make custom stormshadows before they put out this one.
@@gregarcher8177 yes I'm sure that's why they do the different peg sizes on purpose.
I wish it had an extra holster on the legs. It wouldn't have been show accurate, but I think it would have added a little more to the design.
No big deal. That can be adjusted swapping gear.

00 Deluxe Snake Eyes, 02 Snake Eyes, 16 Movie Snake Eyes, 30 Alpha Commandos Snake Eyes. Fortnite will be the 5th
@@MCUcollector24 oh yeah, good ol number 00 😁😁😁
I got my Stormshadow figure early this week along with Spirit. I love them both but i have to admit that i wish they make the version of Stormshadow with the arm tattoo. By the way you missed a swivel articulation on Stormshadow that is just where the top of his forearm armor starts
Maybe that's why this new throw back ss has arm swivel because of the batman gauntlets and the arms being bare
@@FemboyBunnyGW Would have gladly sacrificed that for the tat and gauntlets. Plus they would have broke up the white so he doesn't look so plain. The Red Ninja is dumping on him detail wise.
This figure I don't know what I am doing I original got it for a custom but this is such a good figure I think he will stay
Love how he just falls over. Give us a stand Hasbro! And seriously a ninja should have hand options. They’re doing them for Sarge but not SS? Just chopping hands would of been much appreciated.
Can't wait to find this guy. Except for the gloves. Gotta find some flesh hands for him.
The trigger hands though… Everyone acting like that’s okay with this figure. 🤦🏾♂️
Does the movie storm shadow head fit on the classic Storm Shadow body?
He also has forearm swivel at the wraps
This should have been the first release, idk why the picked V3 from the vintage arah line to do period, let alone before this one. Btw, I thought he, along with spirit and croc master weren't going to be released till summer?
Don't forget the Fortnite and upcoming $5 value priced Snake Eyes.
Can't wait for mine from Amazon.
How much did that set you back on the secondary market? Can’t wait for all these classified pre orders to start shipping.
Since it came my friend, I did even trades. Alley vipers and BATs. For them.
Dope asf DUDE !!! Shits BANGING!!!
Nothing good old school storm shadow classic clean look awesome figure
I’m excited for this figure. Unfortunately my preorder isn’t coming until July :(
Careful with the legs on some of your Joes. Robo has a method to making sure you don't stress the plastic when first trying to loosen up those legs. He uses some type of oil. Just a drop or so. The name escapes me at the moment.
Shock oil for rc cars

this is not a good figure

You are absolutely right in all your points. Still love this figure, glad they stuck close to the classic design.
