This is my latest custom, a ninja I call Dragon Eye.
Bio: Dragon Eye is the last of his clan, one that had been similar to the Arashikage Clan that produced the Hard and Soft Masters, Stormshadow, and eventually Snake-Eyes. Dragon Eye's clan, known as the Ryuibuki, or in English, the Dragon Breath, trained in martial arts styles long forgotten, due to the simplicity and honorable natures. However, they trained in such a manner that these ninja were fluid in their motions, and were frequently able to subdue opponents who used more brutal fighting forms. In the end, it was technology that wiped out these ninjas, who were wiped out by the Red Ninjas, who used modern weapons and trickery to do so. At the time of his clans slaughter, Dragon Eye was in the States, at a university in New York. When he heard of the deaths of his master and all known members other than himself, he sought answers, wanting to know who ordered the erradication of the Ryuibuki, and why. He also seeks justice, believing that his shishou (master) would not want him to just blindly seek revenge. Snake-Eyes learned of the Ryuibuki's destruction, and found that Dragon Eye was the sole member remaining. He contacted him, and was able to convince him to join up with GI Joe, showing him the good the Team was doing in bringing organizations like the Red Ninja Clan down, and seeing justice given to those these groups have hurt. Note: Dragon Eye is a master swordsman, who also is highly skilled with nunchucks and a bow and arrows. He has black belts in 11 fighting styles, as well as the forgotten style, which only the Ryuibuki had record of its existence; now only he has this knowledge, and when he unleashes it, his opponents better beware! Parts List: Torso, upper arms: PoC Arctic Destro (see, you can use them for something!) Upper legs: Resolute Stormshadow (comic pack) Lower Legs, knees: MU Hand Ninja Lower arms: PoC Stormshadow (the one with the action/attack) Head: Tunnelrat (comic pack, ARAH body style figure)(head modded) Feet: 25th Tripwire Cowl: SW Emperor Palpatine (Vintage Series) Belt/sash thing with shurikens: PoC Stormshadow (Desert Battle) Nunchucks: PoC Snake-Eyes (action/attack one) Other items: ???

Wouldn't dragon's breath be ryuiki? Doragon is a phonetic pronunciation of the english word "dragon". The nihongo for dragon is ryu.
On a separate note, the custom looks really good...what head is that? |

So far as the head, it was a comic pack Tunnelrat, from the 3-pack that had Hawk, Flint and him in it (they had the retro, RAH bodies with new sculpts). I modified and painted it. Thanks for all of the feedback. -Todd
