Yeah, Duke isn't scheduled until August... still need Storm Shadow and Firefly, first.

Mezco Storm Shadow was waiting for me on my porch this evening when I got back from my trip to Vegas. Despite what the instructions tell you, I DO NOT recommend folding the bow. One hinge on mine broke off entirely, and on the other one the stop broke off so the tension from the string kept closing it. They were both stiff and I should have known better I guess. I just glued them both in the open position (why do you need to fold the bow down anyway?). Other than that, he's awesome! Probably my favorite Mezco Joe so far! Tons of little accessories that I'll never use (and will probably get lost), but at least they give you a bag to keep them in.

Can you store the bow on his backpack and does folding it help in that regard?

I didn't see anything in the instructions about storing it on the backpack. You can sling it over the pack using the string of course. The kama do store in the pack which is pretty cool. As do the swords, and the nunchuks store in a leg holster. I tucked one of the sais in his belt, too.

I just watched a review online and apparently if you do want to fold the bow without breaking it, you have to pull each end out away from the center and then fold them. The instructions don't tell you this. Better yet just don't fold it.

Just got Storm Shadow today. He’s just…ok.
I’m not as impressed with this figure as I was with Destro and Snake Eyes. I can’t seem to get the hood to lay the way I want it to and I would have loved an option to remove it entirely. The additional head sculpts don’t bring much to the table in my opinion. The unmasked one is nice, but I’ll probably never use it, the other masked head is barely different outside of a slight expression change. Everything is top quality as usual, but I’m not loving all the gear and accessories as much as I have for the other 2 figures. Just doesn’t feel like it’s worth the same price point. You get about 100 ninja stars I guess, ha. I also removed his kneepads and might remove the thigh holster thing as well. There’s a lil too much of the black accents for my liking and these adjustments help tone that down. He’s cool, don’t get me wrong, and if you’re into Mezco you’ll probably love this release. I on the other hand am slightly regretting this one. Still pumped for Firefly though. |

After unboxing mine this evening, I have to agree. Wasn't worth the price tag.
