Happy with retaliation storm shadow

Anyone else happy to have the sneak preveiw retaliation storm shadow? I think the future ninja is cooler and cheaper then the renegades SS. Ive been sweatin that figure since Xmas and now it's like a wieght has been lifted off my shoulders. If I see a renny SS I'll pry buy him but no more hunting for me. Whew.

I love it, it's really, really cool. I hate the swords he comes with, though, and mine has a really hard time holding them.

I much prefer Retaliation Storm Shadow to any other version, including Renegades. Yes, I love the Renegades version (especially the hands), but I love the head sculpt and modern look of the Retaliation version. In fact, I don't really consider most of the Retaliation figures we've gotten so far movie figures. Hasbro has really made some great modern Joes with Retaliation.

That last part you mentioned is a staunch difference between the Retaliation and ROC lines; a good number of Retaliation figures can fit in with your non-movie figures. Can't say the same for most ROC figures.

I never understood why people feel they can't mix the regular and movie stuff. That is like saying I can't mix 25th with 30th. it's all the same stuff at the end of the day

I don't like it. It just doesn't scream Storm Shadow to me with this figure.
And we've had some pretty bad Storm Shadows. Like this one..



I don't know, maybe it'll grow on me. There just isn't anything that I like about the Ret:Storm Shadow.

It's not my favorite SS ever, but I like the new look. Mine has not arrived yet. I heard it is made with a cheaper type of plastic and it feels like it. Is this true?

Plastic feels the same to me... but then again I don't do a 100 point inspection and feel up my figures all that much... so there could be a possible difference!

No cheep plastic here. I'll admit the weapons are hard to hold the hands MAY be a little softer but not really noticeable.
