As a High-Ranking member of the elite and elusive Ninja-Ku Clan, he is specially trained to blend with the Shadows and slip past his enemies without ever being detected. Ninja-Ku was an exclusive ninja that was only available around 1984 in Argentina. In keeping with the original release its a complete re-paint of Storm Shadow.
For a repaint its a very good idea and we all know repaints are a fact of life. I like Ninjas and the colors are worthy of a small troop build. However I think the lack of a set of Nunchuks is very lame. The main weapon shown on the card art should always be included with the figure. With that said its a Black Ninja, we will all buy it anyway.

Guess it's because it wasn't based on an original ARAH figure (I know, I know.....it's a nod to the international figure, but I don't acknowledge those as being part of the old ARAH line that was sold in the US since they were only sold overseas). | |

Why isn't he referred to as Storm Shadow in your review, but the figure itself is codenamed: Storm Shadow? Isn't he Storm Shadow? | |

I know it was a big fad, in the 80s, but I don't like the ninja take over of GI Joe. I remember when StormShadow was the only ninja in the line, and Snake Eyes was a commando with a lot martial arts training.
