I've never owned a version of Kamakura, but I was always intrigued by the character. Overall I'd have to say that the best version of him that I'm aware of, is the Sigma 6 incarnation. Only thing that bugged me about it, was the yellow color scheme rather than the normal green he's usually outfitted with. So I set out to make a version of Kamakura that was Sigma 6 inspired, but would fit with the modern POC figs. And of course he had to be green.
If you'd like to know the parts list, just let me know. Any feedback is appreciated. Especially from die-hard Kamakura fans (if there are any out there in Hisstank land).

Personally, I absolutely love everything about it... except for the helmet. Call me a traditionalist, but Karmakura should have a more ninja-inspired head garb. Great work though. Love the color scheme and use of parts.

Parts list:
head - SW Jedi Robes Starkiller (from the TRU box set) torso & upper arms - ROC Ripcord forearms & legs - POC samurai Snake Eyes feet - ROC City Strike SE hands - POC commando SE swords - POC samurai Snake Eyes belt - movie Captain America gun - Marauder Quote:
Thanks for the feedback, dude. I am not totally in love with the helmet either, but it's pretty close to what I was going for. I envision Snake Eyes as the more traditional ninja type, while his young apprentice is into more modern tech and weaponry. I wanted the look to be closer to Raiden, the ninja from Metal Gear, than a traditional gi-wearing Japanese ninja. I have no idea if that's a huge departure from the way Kamakura was handled in the official Joe canon. But that's the way I envision him fitting into the scheme of things.

I like it! If you have the chance watch the movie "Ninja". I think it came out in 09,and has a evil ninja in it that has a badass outfit that is modern tech. Good job on the paint apps and parts choice.I might have to steal your idea since I don't have the ROC Kamakura and probably never will

Liked everything except the space helmet. You should switch out the head for one with a balaclava....
