New high-res in-hand images of the GIJOE Retaliation Dark Ninja figure have been uploaded to the HISSTANK.com GIJOE Database. With the high profile Ninja theme in GIJOE Retaliation, it's no surprise to see so many repaints thrown into the movie line. Check out the images below.

Still a solid figure (really liking hasbro using some of those nifty large accessories they did back in RoC/Poc), but I still lament the loss of the alternate head.
We're getting so many ninjas using so many of the same parts, that alternate headsculpt would have gone SO far in adding some spice to this release. The fact the back package is still sporting it just proves it (and feels like Hasbro's rubbing salt in the hurt). If we knew for sure Retaliation was going to run through the end of next year, I'd hold hope for a running change. But I don't feel terribly secure in that.

Just noticed the hands are flesh colored. That would have made the red ninjas SO much better IMHO.

Disappointed by the 39.99 at the QVC ninja swords, but he's still a keeper.

Looking forward to it at retail. Even the ninja Glider is going to be useful for displays.
I don't think red ninja came with claws. So its cool that they put some good claws in. I understand that the ankle rockers have been removed for the traditional pivot instead. Which I'm ok with as those rockers seemed a bit loose to start with. What can I say. Its a ninja figure. The only things to watch for are going to be overspray on the mask and derped eyes.

This went from a most likely buy to an easy pass. The line is ninja heavy already this guy is too generic. That would be a plus if it was just his body, but another use of that head is odd. The dragon symbol's placement seems odd too, far to low, might have been better smaller and higher, and then larger like this on the back.
Am I the only one who hates Ninjas with bare hands? Hard to be stealthy when you are leaving fingerprints everywhere.

Also, there are red ninjas, and black ninjas. There aren't that many reuses or other ninjas (aside of labeling everyone as ninja lol) And.. he's a frigging ninja, why should they care about fingerprints? is not like there's a ninja database!
