I would be down, for a Classified gorilla. Hell, the Classified animals are so good, I'd be willing to buy them without any Joes or Cobras included.

Samurai warriors identified themselves as divine and cannot get any markings (tattoo), if they do they are AUTOMATICALLY branded as criminals. With the understanding that all Arashikage members has tattoo of the clan symbol on their right forearm. Does that already brand them as criminals...? Or has it evolved into something new?

Everyone is entitled to their opinions regarding tattoo, but one thing cannot be denied, its rich culture and history behind it.

I for one am excited that they are giving them the feel of lore.

I was beyond excited when I saw tattoos on rock n roll as well... but that's just me.

Check and see if your Arashikage Clan have a finger sliced off

Edit: also interesting Japan have their own method of tattooing (stick and poke) Tebori or irezumi much different than Westernized style. You are correct. Rich in history and tradition. I love honour culture and respect.

I dont care about her tats either we all know or think we know that a retro will come eventually and then everyone will be happy . I dont mind this look she supdated without being too crazy ..
Also doc is the winner of the wave for me he saved so many lives in the battlefield that was my backyard and i love his update that vest is a great borrowed add on as well but it is 100% coming off of @ least of my docs ..

Also disappointing since anyone can just glue them on if they never want to tatke them off, giving everyone both options if they want.

Didn't have anything to do with the Buzzer sunglasses, as Fred said he sculpted Torch over a year before Buzzer hit retail.

Man, I hope that the shoulder pads don't restrict movement. That's never a good choice for a ninja figure. This was my favorite render, by the way. I hope we get a proper V2, at some point (I like the colors, of the mask, on the original). I'll, for sure, be picking this one up.

To those who don't like Night Creeper's left sword those do exist so it's based on realism, they're Flammenschwert which come from several regions.

Thanks for the info DLM! I think I'm more disappointed now knowing that it was a creative decision and not due to feedback. Just seems odd since most Classified figures up to this point have all had removable eye wear (think Torch may be the first who does not?).

Here's hoping if and when we get Short-Fuze, Monkeywrench, Pathfinder, Lifeline, Dee-Jay, Recoil, Rampart, v4 Hawk or Gristle that they all have removable eye accessories.
