So I'm starting another project thread to discuss all things Ninja related. Not only does the JOE verse have Ninja in the ranks, but there are plenty of us out there that have some form of passion for the real "Shinobi no mono" - past to present.
So let's use this thread to kick around various ideas, parts, weapons, accessories, etc. for use in making Ninja characters. For starters, and a big obvious one at that... The upcoming new Storm Shadow (30th anniv?). With elements of traditional and modern (read:Hollywood), this figure will surely be a great addition to any Ninja ranks. Simple head swaps, repaints... very good possibilities. And let's not forget to mention, with the Hollywood aspects of this fig - Sho Kosugi from "Revenge of the Ninja"! |

That Storm Shadow eclipses all other Storm Shadows. It will be the basis for many of my future ninja customs.
As far as gearing up your ninja - coffee stirrer/straws can't be beat for sword scabbards. I've found them at Panera Bread, Subway, and a host of other bars and restaurants. Free is the key. For making your own outfits, head to Michaels or another craft store and pick up some bandana squares. You can get them in all sorts of colors and designs plus they're cheap and just the right thickness. I've done a few tutorials (as has Obi) that you can use to help with your ninja customs. Sculpt some ninja arms Ninja Weapons and Tutorials Ninja Smoke Bombs Ninja Hood/Mask Obi-Shinobi's Sword Tutorial (this influenced my weaponsmithing immensely) ***Shameless plug*** Some of the ninja weapons I've made have found their way to Slayer Design Studio. Ultimate Ninja Head and Torso from Hunter Artworks I'm sure I'll think of more to add later. Last edited by daremo; 03-26-2011 at 12:12 PM.. |

Daremo's weapons are the best ninja weapons, bar none. Fantastic stuff.
Truthfully, though, I know squat about ninjas. I just think that they look cool.

Awesome, D. Thanks for the linkage, bro.
Let's also use this thread for any dio ideas, tips, tricks, etc. Daremo and I have been discussing dio stuff for some time now, and he put some of those ideas to good use recently with his "Death from Above"scene - |
