As a High-Ranking member of the elite and elusive Ninja-Ku Clan, he is specially trained to blend with the Shadows and slip past his enemies without ever being detected. Ninja-Ku was an exclusive ninja that was only available around 1984 in Argentina. In keeping with the original release its a complete re-paint of Storm Shadow.
For a repaint its a very good idea and we all know repaints are a fact of life. I like Ninjas and the colors are worthy of a small troop build. However I think the lack of a set of Nunchuks is very lame. The main weapon shown on the card art should always be included with the figure. With that said its a Black Ninja, we will all buy it anyway. High Res Images http://www.hisstank.com/gi-joe-news/...ninja-ku-7375/

I like him but those flimsy swords are so lame compared to the now superior sword La Parka Snake-eyes comes with.

It's the only figure in wave 9 that I have absolutely zero interest in adding to my collection. Guess it's because it wasn't based on an original ARAH figure (I know, I know.....it's a nod to the international figure, but I don't acknowledge those as being part of the old ARAH line that was sold in the US since they were only sold overseas).

He's nice enough, but he'd be way cooler with the aforementioned nun-chucks and dark skin like the original. and the gold swords are kinda "meh"

Destro, or whomever else wants to answer,
Why isn't he referred to as Storm Shadow in your review, but the figure itself is codenamed: Storm Shadow? Isn't he Storm Shadow? |

I just don't get the whole ninja thing. I know it was a big fad, in the 80s, but I don't like the ninja take over of GI Joe. I remember when StormShadow was the only ninja in the line, and Snake Eyes was a commando with a lot martial arts training.

I think the whole ninja thing got out of hand and pretty much killed a part of GI Joe, and I love ninjas. I'll still get Ninja-Ku, and give him custom nunchucks and swords.
