Well, given that we no longer get filecards they're not really going to be "portrayed" in any format.
But I'd agree that the figure certainly seems to have taken some Metal Gear inspiration, which in turn takes inspiration from Ghost in the Shell and a multitude of other sources. This guy would have fit right in with the various cross-media homages in PoC, IMO. |

I agree that this toy doesn't look like much in photos, and since most of you suckers just display your figures that's all you care about, but I think it looks like a fun toy to PLAY with!!!

You can head swap but its more like a head sculpt then a helmet.

Complete and total failure and a waste of a figure slot. Ninjas are too plentiful in this line, and this particular doesn't look unique, only hobbeled together. The Parts are recognizable, and not fan favs except for maybe the head/helmet which looks too bulky to be used for a ninja or any type of stealth trooper. IF they had to go this route, the head that comes with the Ultimate ninja trooper (movie viper... yet renamed to be another ninja) would be nice.
If they wanted to do the tech route, why not go with some clear/blue or some other translucent color to go with his stealth angle. But i would have preferred the canceled night creeper, heck i would have preferred a homage to ninja force night creeper as a cyber ninja.

The suction cup zip line was originally supposed to come with the PoC Firefly, wasn't it?
I thought I might get this figure, but after seeing these pics, I probably won't unless they have a BOGO deal at target or tru.

Me too, but that zip line handle is pretty cool... would really fit the 25th Crimson Twins.

If you're a Metal Gear fan, you'll appreciate this fig.
