Does anyone know if these were intended to be troop builders or if they are unique characters? The names scream troop builders, but Cyber Ninja looks like he's supposed to be Wraith and I'm really not familiar with the whole Black Dragon/Dark Ninja story (I could have my wires crossed, but it seems like I read somewhere that the Black Dragon was a unique ninja character ret-conned into the adventure team story, but then there is also a clan of Black Dragon Ninjas--is this right and if so which one is the new figure supposed to represent).
Regardless I'm trying to determine rather these are troopers or unique characters and the blurbs about them on the back of the card doesn't help since they describe every figure in a singular tense (even the Alley Viper). |

I'm not entirely sure but my guess would be that they're troop builders. And even if they're not, you can just pretend that they are!

I am going to troop build the Black Dragon Ninja, even if it is not a troop builder. I have troop build unique characters in the past if I could there was something "generic" about them.
For example, I bought several of the POC Firefly figures. I was a very cool figure and it did not scream Firefly to me. I use them as a special "fear" squad.

The figures are what you want them to be.

My Dark Ninja is going to be an individual character, perhaps with one of the chrome Snake Eyes heads I ordered.

*Ding* We have a winner.
It's G.I. Joe man, they can be whatever you want them to be. The description on the back of the Dark Ninja reads: " The DARK NINJA is the most highly trained of all the evil RED NINJAS and an expert in aerial assaults. He descends silently from the sky using an attack glider. With menacing saber-claws on his arms and legs, he's ready to strike the G.I. JOE team." Just reading this he's meant to be an individual character. But like I said, your Joe-verse is yours. Hollywood says everyone's a Ninja, well not in my verse. So there you go, it's totally up to you.

Troop builders. I use the Dark Ninja as a generic ninja, for that purpose it kicks ass, GI Joe or not.

They are NOT troop builders.
" That said, buy one and send the rest that you find to me.
