I'm debating picking one of these up. I missed out on it when they originally released it. I know a lot of Tankers have this guy, so I am asking your opinion. Do you like it? Is it worth the money? Does it evoke original ARAH Storm Shadow to you? I've looked at the pictures on a lot of review sites and the figure just looks very very plain to me and something is off. I don't particularly like the unmasked head and I feel like the sleeves on the uniform seems very unstormshadowy. I also feel like the sheer white across the uniform is overpowering. Is it like that in person?

Assuming you are speaking about the Sideshow figure? I have it and enjoy it.
I've noticed some folks take off the inner shirt to make it reflect his Sunbow and comic appearance. |

It is a great figure. I upgraded the body with a more muscular/ realistic looking arms and took off the inner shirt. Looks really sweet. It also has a fairly good selection of accessories but I didn't like the Bow it came with so I switched it for a more modern Compound bow.

I agree - GREAT figure.
If you feel the need to futz around with it (e.g. get a "muscle" body, etc.) that's fine, but I think it's great right out of the box. Totally worth the price.

I've had the exclusive version since new- and, yes, I think it was worth the purchase price. The only down side was the loose body. I've yet to swap it out, but plan too.

I know you can swap the bodies out but do you order replacement bodies from sideshow or do you just replace with a generic?

I ordered 4 of this one (I want to swap out Duke, Storm Shadow, Jango Fett...and one other I can't recall right now.)

For what it costs, it should be perfect right out of the box. The professional photos always make the 12" figures look good. I'd suggest you take a good look at one in person before buying.
