Definitely looking forward to this. Would have preferred if the Hayabusa-esque head was included because I LOVE ME SOME NINJA GAIDEN.
As is, this figure makes for a great generic ninja. I for one do not know what the hell the red character on his gi means so whatever, generic ninja it is! Anyways I plan on buying a number of ninjas be it red or dark for Storm Shadow customs. Plus a band of ninjas for Storm Shadow. I love how this mold can do the dim mak with the right hand. I just hope the plastic quality is better than Retaliation wave 1. I also wish it came with different swords, as the Renegades 4 pack/Retaliation Zartan swords were reused way too soon imo. |

I agree maybe when they hit retail they will release it with both heads and maybe some better swords .. |

You had to go and get one from Viperskingdom, didn't you?

"I'm not sure if it will be a running change but the packaging shows two heads .. the tornado kick Storm shadow and the default head from the renegades(30th) Stormy. However my figure only came with one head (renegades)." I hope once released at retail they give you both heads .. It be nice to have at least one variation of each.

The worst aspect is that some fantastic figures that are more 30th than Retaliation (Cobra Invasion pack Firefly, Night Viper, etc) will come in this sort of packaging. I like having both a MOC and loose figure of the best figures. So not having a great 30th card (let along 25th-style card) for Firefly or Night Viper will be disappointing.
Maybe we could get a slight variation of the 3-pack FF single carded, in the post-Retaliation line. I'm surprised that no one has noticed that this is a straight up repaint of Renegade Storm Shadow. I actually prefer the knees and lower legs of the Red Ninjas and wish it was Black and not some dark grey. Either way, I'll be getting three of these Renegade Storm Shadow repaints.

Unfortunately I doubt it will come with the better swords and the Hayabusa head. I think what you got is what you will get. However, since the Hayabusa head is not present, I wonder if it's coming later? Like Retaliation Red Ninja repainted in white WITH the Hayabusa head and the Renegades/30th swords that the Retaliation Invasion 3 pack Storm Shadow has. Kind of like a post-Retaliation Storm Shadow aimed at those who missed out on the 2011 30th/Renegades Storm Shadow. It's not too different, the sleeve/pants sculpts for the lower arms and legs the the same sans the new armor pads and ankles. Hell I'd buy it. Honestly I dig variety but I am in the minority, I LOVE the abundance of ninja figures. POC gave us a cool generic ninja in the form of Temple Guardian Snake Eyes, and Retaliation ups the ante with the Dark Ninja. |

Hasbro DID show a "Dark Ninja Master" in their concept case...maybe they're saving the Hyabusa head to give that potential figure some individuality?

Could be. I'd like to see how it would turn out(should changes be made).
