Hello, Tankers!
It's been a while since I've posted any custom figures. I've got several more I'd like to take pictures of and post. Hopefully I'll get to those later this week. Here's Shadow Strike, Storm Shadow's ninja apprentice! He's only got one official action figure made, and I like the look of him, even though he's just a red Storm Shadow. I like to do things as paint-free as I can, mostly because paint scares me, haha. So here's a minimally-painted figure that's essentially a part-swap job. Sweet. After taking pictures I realize his legs need some touch-ups. Hurm. Edit: almost forgot the parts list: Torso: 5-pack Red Ninja Arms: ROC Eel Head: Target Exclusive Eel Legs: "Resolute" comic-pack Destro Holster: 25th Snow Job Gun: RIA Duke Harness: Target "Rescue Mission" Snake Eyes Ninja Stars: Hard Master Sheath: ROC Red Fang Ninja, modified to hold two short-swords. Swords: ROC Storm Shadow Edit edit: To get the ROC Eel arms onto the Red Ninja body, I had to do a bit of shoulder surgery--I swapped the shoulder-swivels from the Red Ninja arms into the Eel arms. The Eel swivel was too short and too fat. I used this tutorial.

For minimal paint apps, this figure is very believable alongside the Hasbro recycled figures, and actually shames them. Great character concept, excellent use of existing parts, and it just works...
Stormy needs an apprentice to take out Kamakura, the green power ranger punk. Looking forward to the rest of your work.

dmizrok - Glad to hear that you do! Thanks.
Quartermaine - Hey, thanks! I appreciate it. I figure if Hasbro can sell me a bunch of kit-bashes and repaints I can make one or two myself. Tyroc - Thanks much.

Wow that's pretty good. I think I might borrow the recipe if that's OK?

Sector 15 - Thanks! Go for it, that's why I put it up there.
donmagic - Thank you! Yeah, I dig 'em, too. They didn't make a lot of sense on Pilot Destro, but they look pretty swanky on a ninja. TheLongestDay - Hey, thanks much! meandnooneelse - Thanks a lot. I don't know about brilliant--they're more like what was handy at the time. :P Thanks again, everyone!
