i kinda understood the reasoning Hasbro had with the purple snake eyes like the cartoon thing... but what is up with the black storm shadow? Is he not notoriously white? Did I miss something? With the new comic packs there is a light grey snake eyes??? What gives??? Is he not supposed to be black? What are these color schemes all about?

The Ninja Ku SS is a homage to an international figure. The original figure wasnt storm shadow but for the 25th line thats how they made him. Kind of like the new pilot scarlett is a homage to the Glenda international figure

I hate the purple SE, but it is an easy fix.

I've lost track of them all.
1. Original 5-pack (the blue box with gung ho, scarlett, duke and roadblock) 2. Single card Commando with Timber 3. Single card Arctic (green pants) 4. TRU 5 pack (vs red ninjas) (greenpants/blue shirt) 5. DVD pack (mass device) (blue/glowing orange) 6. DVD pack (pyramid) (white accessories) 7. Comic Pack (bluish/purple clothes) (vs. plain white SS) 8. Comic Pack (torn clothes) (vs. red cloak SS) 9. Single card version 3 (dagger chest) ???

Their easy repaints and since their ninjas who have been depicted in different outfits through the years (Though they did have "classic" looks) it makes sense for Hasbro to re-release them in new color schemes.
This is basic toy economics 101. Batman doesn't wear hot pink and orange outfits either, but they still sell toys of him in those outfits. As is, most the Snakes and Storm repaints have been logical, albeit somewhat redundant. |

I actually saw a pic and the Purple Snake Eyes is not as purple as some have said. I actually like the idea cause he looks just like the one in the cartoons. That is the best part of the 25th you get the best of Comics, Cartoons and International.

I like the art work on the original Glenda.

This is an interesting variant since it is based on the original concept designs from Larry Hamma.
But Slaughter's Batman annalogy is the best explaination. |

yeah, so far every repainted snake or stormy has been exactly like it looked in one medium or another. My only problem is with the upcoming ninja viper (Turquoise Strom Shadow) and the issue I have with it is because of the sculpt, not the color (It should be the same body as V1 Stormy, not V2)
