My Storm Shadow modification

[mrclean08]

I wasn't satisfied with the way that Storm Shadow looked out of the box, so I decided to customize his body and parts of his uniform to make him more accurate to the Marvel Comic and toon. I removed the sleeves and used a better body than the stock Prometheus body that Sideshow uses.

Here are comparison shots with the stock version and the modified version. The sleeves were completely removed.

I also have a video of the figure on YouTube. Check it out here:

Sideshow does!

The body he used to replace the original is in question though.

[footloose]

soooo... do the elbows bend

[WhiteHawk]

Wow, did you use a Hot Toys Dutch or Billy's body for the modification? Looks awesome, though it might be too muscular.

[dawingster]

Looks fantastic.

Is that the Hot Toys Chris Redfield body? It has rubber skin over the articulation. Looks more realistic, but you're not suppose to bend it at extreme angles for fear of tearing the rubber skin.

Can't really do extreme poses with those body though, I would prefer the new plastic muscular bodies used for Hot Toys Wesker.

Thanks guys! Yes, his elbows do bend. His range of motion is a bit limited because of the "real skin", but he is still fully poseable. I used a Hot Toys Chris Redfield body.

I just purchased a HT Billy Soles body which I plan on using for my Snake Eyes. It should arrive in the mail over here any day now.

Would you guys be interested in seeing how the Billy Soles would look with Storm Shadow? I can post pics if any of you are interested in the comparison.

Thanks,
Michael
