So then...every Joe that was a Ranger, Green Beret, SEAL, etc., is a ninja. Let's get rid of the ones that use swords and that weird hocus-pocus stuff.

No. Only the ninjas are ninjas.

If you're referring to wizards in masks, then yes they are.

The extended cut of Retaliation made me appreciate the ninja more. I wouldn't miss them if they ceased to be part of the Joes, but in that cut they were made more interesting/watchable.

It's interesting that the most iconic interpretation of the Joes, the Sunbow series, barely had any ninjas in it.

I still prefer the Storm Shadow vs Spirit rivalry from Sunbow.

I'm referring to details sculpted in, ROC was the mid-point between the basic figures of the 25th line to the hyper realistic figures of POC/30th

In retrospect, they probably shouldn't gone to 1/12, if they wanted to go the more detailed route.

That's one of the few complaints, everything was too small to play with or pose in that scale, especially when microscopic parts pop off figures in vehicles then get lost inside
