My thoughts:
1. Tripwire - Looks cool. Just like the comic pack version (which is a good thing). The pics don't show the quilted pattern on the pads, but if I recall correctly, the early pics of the CP version also showed smooth pads. I wouldn't be surprised if the carded version has quilted pads. 2. Cobra Diver - Zzzz 3. Cobra Trooper - Why why why is it so hard for Hasbro to get this one right? I wanted the trooper from the original Cobra box set. I don't like the red face mask and the Cobra sigil is too large. 4. PP Crimson Guard - Not a huge PP fan, probably get one to keep carded. 5. Storm Shadow - Yay! Another Storm Shadow /sarcasm off 6. Ripper - This one is just odd. Not a fan of the colors. This spot would have been better filled with another troop builder. |

Aside the Cobra symbol and hood, Storm Shadow could double as Storm Shadow in training.
I like this version of Storm Shadow, its simple but the clean look is neat. This seems like an obscure homage to the 2000 Storm Shadow, which was the Ninja Force version sans spring action, repainted in v1 colors, but with a black face mask. Slight homage, as this one is not completely faithful, the main references are the predominantly white costume, the red cobra symbol, and the hood. Hell, I like it! Now the Storm Shadow mold was retooled beginning with the wave 3 comic packs, with a backpack hole added in. I would not be surprised if this figure comes with the gear from the wave 4 comic pack, as we already see the roped weapons from that pack in the image. Since this mold most likely is the retooled one with the backpack hole, the backpack from the wave 4 comic pack is compatible. That backpack was an homage to the v2, except that it could carry 2 swords instead of 1. Even the rope placement is the same, and to an extent, the swords are similar, but different(the wave 4 comic pack one has dragon heads on the end of the handles). This figure also has the v2 derived legs from the wave 4 comic pack version, the v1 body, and exposed lower arms, which the v2 had as well. So what does my long winded paragraph all mean? Well, we now have all the parts necessary to make a completely accurate 25th anniversary v2 Storm Shadow! With that said, I wouldn't be surprised if one came out next year, and I will buy this wave 12 version, as well as an accurate v2 if it comes out. |

Kind of a disappointment, but I'll get 4 of the 6 figures.
