These look significantly off from the original and if these were truly found in a warehouse somewhere they would not be this white and perfect, plus, they are from china were we have been seeing some reproduction figures. If these are fake it really makes me mad...for numerous reasons. |

I have one of the re-released Storm Shadow's right here on my desk and his gear is painted a little different (silver on the blades, different scabbard, modified head sculpt, etc.) and comparing the two they look different enough.
If they were stored away in boxes all these years they should still be pretty clean and white, I believe what makes so many loose Stormy Shadow's that yellow-ish color is from being played with (dirt, oils, dust, etc.). Course these could be international variants, no idea really. China is a bootleg Mecca though hehe. |

Those are fake-a-roos.
Check out the Cobra Insignia on Storm Shadow's chest. Totally fake. |

Dear God, the Engrish in that listing made me laugh.
I call shenanigans. There was a post about 2 months or so ago where someone warned the 'Tank that bootleg Storm Shadows were likely to start appearing in large quantities soon. Something about the arms in particular just doesn't look right. |

Gentlemen, the fake-a-roo figure has that bogus "blocky" looking Cobra sigil. The figure image at top is a real 1984 Storm Shadow, and the sigil is detailed. What we should do is email them and ask for a photo of the inside thigh with the Hasbro date/copyright symbol on it. Last edited by Bravestarr; 03-16-2009 at 12:12 AM.. |
