Apologies in advance for such an out-of-date Review (and for starting a thread about it if one already exists) but I finally got around to looking at my RoC Storm Shadow Ninja Mercenary. I wish Hasbro could come-up with a better way to do coat tails. They look really cool but they seriously impact the figure's play and pose range...

Wow, no kidding.
Interestingly, I just again started displaying this figure and some others from RoC. I kinda missed them. I'll always hang onto this Storm Shadow because he was the first figure I bought that got me into collecting. |

I know. My guess is Hasbro has a bunch of divisions who never speak to each other.

Yeah, I just read your review of Breaker. Looking forward to the others. One thing I can say for the ROC line was that they were not very exciting. They had the rare gems, like Shipwreck. But it always felt like, "meh".

Yeah, there are some really good figures in the line. Reactive Impact Armor Heavy Duty, Sgt Stone, Desert Ambush Duke, City Strike Snake Eyes and Shipwreck are all really good. Paris Pursuit Baroness looks great (dodgy face aside) but she suffers the same lack-of-leg-articulation as this Storm Shadow, which is a shame.

I picked this figure up a while ago off the clearance rack and I rather like him. The coattails get in the way but not too badly in the way I have him posed (facing off with POC Snake Eyes). Once I get my shelves in order he's going to be standing guard over my ROC Cobra Commander (a figure I still have great affection for as well).
My first (and only) Storm Shadow toy!
