yojoe.com while AMAZING... is incredibly not always complete with he international information. (not all funskool figs are listed I.E. "Yellow Belt" B.A.T. etc.) I don't know the back story behind this SS... but it definitely looks... 'funky' thats for sure.

that's not a variant; it's just been left out in the sun for a long time. I had the same thing happen to my SS when I lived in AZ.

Haha...it's funny though...no paint wear, near mint condition.

I noticed that recently too. For example the Dreadnok Ram Sears exclusive has no variants listed but I own 2 different versions and have seen a third.

Yeah Stormy's definately "toasted". Don't bother bidding on that piece of garbage. He is suffering from the same damage that any other action figure made from the same white plastic goes through over the years when they are not protected from the elements. I have 3 1984 Stormshadows and 1 is pretty decent. The second one has slight discoloration. The thrid one could be this guy on ebay's twin brother.

Be careful when it comes to handling old white plastic figures. Yellowing can occur from simple things like sunlight, to other things you might not realize like smoking and even the oils in your skin.

Maybe you should submit them to them so they can add to the listing for it.

thats the 'i shit my self' storm shadow variant.


sucks to be wearing all white.

with all that hopping around he does you would think after eating something that didn't agree with him he would call in sick. lol

YES THERE IS A VARIANT 84 STORM SHADOW! but it has nothing to do with the color of the figure. yellowing means a "de-valued figure"

the variation is in the eyebrows. the early versions had very thin eyebrows and eyes, while later versions had very thick eyebrows. just for a future reference if you are looking for an 84 variant storm shadow

wouldn't pay more than $2.00 for a loose incomplete very un-mint figure, possibly less, way less :D

I like how they said "This item is in NM condition. Almost no paint wear at all. Joints are firm, nothing broken, bent or in any way disfigured." when part of one leg is a frack'in other color!!!! :)

funny thing is that storm shadow sold for 21.00 plus shipping. im glad i didnt buy it. thanks guys.

The only thing I remember about the '84 Storm Shadow was that he was hard to find, like our current 25th Anniversary Joes. Now, we get Storm Shadow in every other Wave mostly repaints for comic packs but he's easier to find than 24 years ago.
