Anyone still use a different SS as their go too for like dios,etc even though they have a renegade SS? If so which which one and why? I have two but still go to the HOH SS. There is just something about him that I like better. The REN SS is a awesome figure by far though.

I really dont use one. My SS is a maskless ROC SS head on a POC jungle Duke body. And he's a Joe.

...is still my display SS for my Cobra shelf. There is a small area on another wall with a dio of Renegades where the newer version can be found:

Thats a 25th version by friend from a single card I believe. What tom cruise movie is that sig pic from?

I have 3 on display, HoH, PoC wave 1 and the Renegades one. HoH is still my favorite

This would be a young Mr.Cruise as cadet Captain David Shawn in the military academy epic: TAPS

25th reigns supreme for me until they Make Americas Elite rendition (or I can get my hands on the new one from Retliation which blows the Renegades one out of the water)

HoH SS with ROC head

the ren SS will be repainted in the movie line so I'm just waiting for those versions instead.

Almost like you I have maskless SS on POC wave 3 SE

I just dont really find a guy dressed in all white very useful. Good for display with Cobras but my verse is not so Sunbowish or Marvelish. I wish there was a SS head with just a do rag. That would be my default.

The Renegades SS is an awesome figure, right up there with Lowlight.

That said, I prefer the v1 25th SS, and the v2 SS (camo) is my current desk display SS.

HOH is still my classic default.

ROC PP SS is my modern "neutral" version of the character.

Retaliation version will probably be my "ultimate" version. Love the costume.

I don't have a REN SS loose.

I wish that desert one was released. It was badass. I do like the Retalliation one as well. We'll see I may change. It'd be nice if there was an SS that was in some sort of useful camo pattern.

Storm Shadow is my second favorite character, so I have every version released since the 25th line started up to Renegades(and will get every Retaliation version released). Have every pre 25th version but only the "first time mold used", not the multiple repaints of some of the versions.

I feel the same way. The constant Snake Eyes saturation never bothers me, 'cause fourteen times out of fifteen it's an awesome figure, so I can just kitbash the hell out of them and put together all manner of night ops badasses and the like.

Whenever a new Storm Shadow is released, however, it's like, "Hmm, what can I do with the white-clad ninja this time?"

Exactly. I wished so bad the POC SS you pictured above was a different color. I would have troop-built him if he was in black or purple or something. Same thing with Scarlett. Painting hair is easy enough, but for us lazy bastards, it seems GIJoe employs nothing but ginger women.

Ha ha, too true. The faces are at least distinct from one Scarlett to another, but it does start to seem odd when you have a platoon of redheaded women. And she's nearly the only option; I have and adore and offer place of pride to Helix, but aside from her, what modern females do we have to choose from, really? I failed to find a way to make RoC Cover Girl viable, and the Baronesses tend to look like Cobras, naturally, added to which they're as similar to one another as are the various Scarletts...

I like the HoH and the Silent Interlude comic pack one. Both are great modern versions of his vintage figure.

yup HOH is it for me, given renegades is sweet but hes different, and i like the look of HOH better.

I combined Wv1 POC SS w/ Wv3 POC SS to make battle armor SS. Then, I was left with gear from 2 SS, so I figure my SS should carry it all:

I haven't found a Renegades Storm Shadow, but I'm still content with my all white comic pack storm shadow with 25th storm shadow's web gear. Looks like the original ARAH figure to me. All White with minimal Black and Silver, and a Red Cobra Insignia.

I don't even want a Renegades Storm Shadow. Passed him over a couple times.

The HOH version (v31) is fine with me.

In my displays the other versions of Stormshadow are just other members of the Arashikage clan. I haven't updated in a while my pics in a while.

YOJOE.COM | Storm Shadow (http://www.yojoe.com/action/09/agu/stormshadow30.shtml)

The renegades one is ok, superior body construction but I didnt like the head.

Im working on a custom Americas Elite version, he will be my go to for Joe SS, as for Cobra I have two, the HOHs one and the renegades one..Nice to finally see another A.E fan I absolutly loved the comic story line and art design. working on the whole line up of customs.

Hall of Heroes Storm Shadow wins - HANDS DOWN!

By the way, does anyone want my loose Renegades Storm Shadow? He's 99% complete, he is only missing his Red Sash (which you weren't going to use anyway). PM me for price!

Castle is playmobil. I put any of he MU figures that can pass as part of the clan in with them. Daredevils, hand ninjas, moonnight, hawkeye, Ronin etc. all have a place. To me the different dominant color in their uniform says something about their function and rank within the clan. Black, white, blue, and red all have different specialties.

ShadowNinja
03-23-2012, 07:40 PM
They still sell that? I use mu in the same way. Hand ninjas are red ninjas and ronin is the leader of the black dragon ninjas. HAwkeye is just arashikage.
