Tankers,
After such a great discussion on Snake-Eyes, I was thinking about our friend Stormy. His original look in the comics was just a white ninja, fully covered in white clothes. He is first seen bringing a captive Scarlett to Cobra Castle on a Cobra Claw flying machine. Halfway through the book, he leaves Scarlett in a Cobra jail but when he shows back up, he's in the outfit I think he looks best in... the sleeveless top with the arm wraps. I wonder why Hama changed the look halfway through? Was it even the same ninja? Later on, Stormy become a good guy again and returns with a white/grey camo outfit with a hood. Decent figure and color scheme, but too different IMO. Later on, they kept adding more red to his costume until he looked like he did in Devils Due's series. It was kinda cool, but too many straps and buckles in the design. The movie Stormy was a different take on the look, kinda based on Reloaded, I believe. I like him in that white suit and that frock coat is also a cool look. But I think the Hall of Heroes figure was the perfect Storm Shadow figure and look, in the RIGHT colors and without those horrible sleeves! Whatta you think?

It's hard to beat his iconic look (Comics, sleeveless), I would still love to see a figure based on this 100% complete with exchangable head so we can have the "training Billy" SS as well.
But froma pure design point of view, the DDp version in the original run with the red Cobra sigils on his knees was by far the best. I've seen many customizers try to do this version but they all fall far from it. I'd love to see an actual accurate version released in ME form. And what's with the ROC *gasp* option? RoC may have sucked but Storm Shadow looked good. Better than PoC Desert boy or PoC training versions.

Oh now I get it. He's always been one of my favorite characters, and I loved his original look, but I gotta go with his later looks. They are just so unique.

I think DIC style is the ultimate Storm Shadow. They just have to make him in ME form. When they do people shall buy! Than they should make Hawk and Snake Eyes too along with Stalker and his Zebra pants. This I demand!

The HOH Storm Shadow is by far my favorite figure they have made of him.

Think the camo and hood version is the best looking.
