So I got my hands on the Resolute figure to place by my office computer (code named: Storm shadow) yes, its an all white Computer. As an artist, I cant help but to think how to improve it. It needs a boost to look more like the Resolute Movie version.
I gave it the old Heat method. I heated the vest and Hood with a high power blow drier, then pressed it closer to the head and body for a tighter fit, then dipped it in Ice water. Looks like Hasbro's effort with the clothing is lackluster. I'm thinking of Sculpting the hood and vest right on with some rubber clay next to keep the articulation. I have no complaints about the legs of the figure. Definitely some painting can help, like darker belt and Sword handles. I'm gonna paint the claws metal too. I think this will make me feel more comfortable with the sculpt. Overall, it's not my favorite Storm shadow (I wanna like it), but I feel fans were waiting for this one to be good and got something mediocre. |

I really liked this SS at first, but now with all the very decent ninjas out there,he's custom fodder for future projects.

The hood, head, and hands could be better, but the worst is the bulky tunic/vest.

After getting this I felt like it should have stayed canceled. There were better parts available to use from previous figures. The best parts of this one are the hood, legs and feet.
If you were to put the hood on the Renegades 4 pack Storm Shadow you actually get a way better and possibly more accurate version of Resolute Storm Shadow than this one. |

I dig the guy. Sure he isnt perfect, but neither are most of the resolute figures. He fits into that line perfectly, to me.
Well, not really perfectly. Your mods to the hood and whatnot sure do make it better. |

I snagged a few of these for $3 a pop. Great fodder, crappy figure.

His head looks swollen. Like he got stung by a lg south American wasp or has some weird genetic disease. I use em for fodder.

I also love the Resolute Storm Shadow, its the soft hands that can't hold the weapon and the small katana grip that drives me nuts.
Come to think of it, he's too bulky.

Saw him on ebay for cheap BIN and impulse bought him.
He showed up, I took him out to check him out and after being substantially underwhelmed, put him in my trade fodder and he was gone less than a week later. Definitely buyer's remorse after that purchase... |
