ok so i don't think anyone else cares about this figure meaning no one has made a review about yet if so than MODS delete this thread. but being that some people here are on the fence about this figure i shall post a reveiw on it
ARTICULATION AND PAINT: articulation is the same like every other POC figure, leg articulation is affected just a little by the um...waist scarf? paint apps are nice it gave the figure a weathered look as if he's been in the desert for a while. paint wares off on the inside of the hands a litttle as well as the 2 swords he come holding in the package but that could be just on mine. BODY: fisrt off the torso and upper arms is the same used in the ROC arttic storm shadow, scars are not painted or shall i say they have no added detail to it. lower arms are from the canceled junlge storm shadow. the waist scarf thing he comes with is glued on to the lower torso making it non removable, but his neck scarf can be removed by poping off his head and taking off the scarf. head sculpt is new with a litle bit of a ROC look to it, hair can be seen at the back of the head just like in the card art. legs are the same as ROC PP storm shadow, except they have a wethered look as if his pants were covered in sand. ACCESSORIES: i have to say this figure omes with a sh*t load full of accessories. he comes with: 4 ninja stars 6 sowrds (various length) 1 backpack 2 tiger claws 1 mace type thing? anyway the ninja stars can be stored on the figure's waist scarf which has 4 small pegs for each star, but the stars can't be held in the hand because the hands do not have enough of a tight grip. the backpack can store only 4 knifes/swords out of 6. the tiger claws and mace (thing) have no storage place. the sowrds have small pegs and holes so you can attach them to each other kinda like darth maul's lightsaber. as well the swords with the pegs can be added to the mace as shown bellow. the mace appears to have an actual metal chain conecting the 2 ends. the tiger claws can somewhat be held in each hand but sometimes they fall out. OVERALL: i liked this figure for his cool accessories and new look but i have to admit it's not the best figure of the line and could of been better but i think it earns a 7/10 but il let you guys decide EDIT: ninja stars can be held in hand, pics on page 4

Nice review. I really appreciate you giving the bad as well as the good. I think I will stop by Target after work to pick him up after all.

Nice pics and review. How'd you manage the shot of the sword/chain flying past SE?

I had no plans of getting him, but my wife bought him for me, and I have to say I really like him. His weapons are cool and he has a nice battle damaged look to him. He's not the best figure in the series, but he is one of the better Storm Shadows we've seen. I give him an 8/10.

Great figure. I got this yesterday. He is one of the more common of wave 1, but don't count that out. This SS may be the billionth version made of him. Cool pictures and review, they display this new incarnation well.
