Thanks to Hisstank.com boards member kenm2474 for posting up images of the G.I. Joe Classified Operation Blackout Storm Shadow custom that shows off the awesome tattoo. The custom figure itself was made by Mint Condition Customs.

A well deserved frontpage.

That's awesome I had to do a double take because I remember that Hiya toys also updated their 4" figure to now include the tattoo so I thought this was another pic of that when I skimmed it but this is classified 6" scale - it looks like/as good as an official factory made figure

I was already admiring this one in the GI Joe Classified Pictures thread. That’s one mean-looking Storm Shadow!

I'm not in the Classified-collecting game myself, but, while the retro-inspired designs look good, I do think it was a shame that stuff like this Mortal Kombat-looking Storm Shadow fell by the wayside.

Amazing paintwork, and it makes me want to put an MTF Storm Shadow with a sleeve together in 1:18 now

I am very impressed with the HIYA blackout storm shadow. Originally I was not impressed with him because he did not have the arm sleeve tattoo now that they have added it I am considering purchasing it. They still need to work on these swords as the grip is not what matches the Hasbro art rendering on mine the sword handles are painted white on the outside black in the center with the Arashikage symbol on the hilt of the swords on both sides.

Try to keep him 100% to the artwork as possible. I was thought that version of storm shadow gives you a blackeye just by looking at him lol.

I’ve seen one other person attempt my tattoo a Storm Shadow, and it was a good try, but just wasn’t there. I honestly did not believe that a toy company could do it but HIYA, really impressed me with that arm sleeve they added onto the storm shadow I am seriously impressed with that.
