Red Ninja vs. Ninja Viper

[drunknmunky]

I need to add one of these to my Sideshow collection. Problem is I can only afford one right now. I'm just not sure which one I should get. I've wanted the Red Ninja for a while but the Ninja Viper looks awesome too. Money isn't a factor because they are basically the same price. So which one do you guys prefer and why? Thanks for the help! By the way, if you've got them, maybe post some pictures of them in action to help me decide.










For those who choose option 3, I'll PM you my Paypal info :)

Here's my two cents...get both

i'd go neither.......the sideshow stuff, hell 1/6th in general, is so expensive. IF you are determined to get one or the other i would honestly go witht he ninja viper...if for no other reason if you find a female 1/6th body who looks like lucinda dickey (breakin, breakin 2 electric boogaloo, and ninja 3 the domination) you can make a pretty sweet custom.

I'd go with the Viper and then buy Cotswold's Exclusive Red Ninja with the Diecast weapons for 58.00 Not to mention its limited to 144 sets.

My vote is for the red ninja... Badass looking figure.

If you are looking for nostalgia, then go with the Red Ninja.

I think bright-colored ninja look dumb in general (Storm Shadow is exempt here), and when I wanted a Cobra ninja, I went with the Ninja Viper. I think he looks great.

He doesn't have the teal coloring of the ARAH Ninja Viper (thankfully) but rather an olive greenish drab coloring with black masks and gear that makes him seem better at stealth in many different environments. So if you want a cool-looking Cobra ninja from sideshow, and don't care about the classic Cobra ninja look, go with the Ninja Viper.

For pics of the Ninja Viper taken by myself and other Tankers, see this thread:

I like the look of the red the best on this one.

I always preferred RED since they have some history in the comic, otherwise I would say either one is fine.
