More Ninjas - Satan - Ninja-Ku - Shadow Strike

Captain Hydra · 03-18-2008, 10:19 PM

Here are 3 of my Cobra ninjas. I wanted each of my named character ninjas to look a bit different rather than all be Storm Shadow repaints.

First is Satan. I wanted to give him a more commando look than a traditional ninja. As a ninja archer, I eliminated his swords altogether, so he is armed with his bow arrows and a combat knife. He is painted in a brighter red than the red ninjas so he will stand out.
Body - Waist: Storm Shadow
Arms -Legs: Snake Eyes
Head: Firefly

Next Ninja-Ku. I was not going to make this character at all, but for one I am addicted to customizing, and two I saw the very nice profile on the original figure form forgottenfigures.com and was inspired. This one I wiped out in an afternoon. I made a couple of changes to individualize him a bit. I did not want to just paint the Storm Shadow short sleeve arms and pretend they were full length, so I swapped the upper arms with the black Cobra Commander. I also went with the point of him being a swordsman, and armed him with two katanas rather than a katana and wakizashi. I made him a back holder for both swords to cross on his back. Overall, he was very easy to do, but I think he came out quite nice.
Base: Storm Shadow
Upper Arms: Cobra Commander

And lastly Shadow Strike. I had posted him up here before, but thought I'd include him with the other ninjas. In this case I reversed his color scheme to distinguish him from the red ninjas.
Body, Waist, legs: Storm Shadow
Arms: Snake Eyes
Head:Storm Shadow
Kamas: Red Ninja Mancatcher + Serpentor Knife
