From card back "dossier":
Blind Master is the wise and mysterious leader of the Arashikage ninja clan who can see what others can't. He is the toughest of masters and has trained Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow and Kim 'Jinx' Arashikage in the secret ninja arts. He is skilled with multiple weapons including the bladed shield, the flying saw and legendary nine-ring sword. The dossier is based on the Movie Universe Blind Master. Those of us that grew up reading Marvel's A Real American Hero comics would know the difference of the Blind Master character. The Blind Master's first appearance was in issue #59 where he's training Jinx. Blind Master was trained by the Hard Master who also trained Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. Blind Master, played by Robert Fitzgerald Diggs aka RZA of the hip-hop group Wu-Tang, gets his own action figure. We get Blind Master in the newly released Retaliation wave 4. Blind Master is another figure that is mainly a 'kit-bashed' as known in the G.I. Joe collecting community. The entire figure is made from (Renegades) Storm Shadow v41 with the skirt from ROC Storm Shadow v32 and a new head sculpt. Hence this figure does not have rocker ankles that is the new norm for articulated lower legs and feet. Accessories: The one thing known with the later waves of Retaliation figures is you get plenty of accessories. Blind Master might not have a plethora of gear like 'Ultimate' Duke, but what he does come with are all new sculpts. I can't remember where, but I read that RZA was involved in the designing process with the figure. And it definitely shows in the accessories.
Overall the Retaliation Blind Master is great figure. He may be a straight up repaint of the Renegade Storm Shadow, but he more than makes up for it with his accessories. The only flaw I can find with the figure is the skirt hinders lower body articulation. Also I wish the figure was molded in black instead of the grayish-brown used. It's a shade darker than the Dark Ninja which also should have been molded in black. Guess, Hasbro ran out of black with the constant Snake Eyes releases. I'd recommend the figure to complete your Movie cast or simply just for the accessories.
