I've searched eBay a few times recently hoping to get a Renegades Storm Shadow, because, you have to admit, he is a pretty darn cool looking Stormy. Just recently I've seen him auction out at $35-$45 bucks a pop. Now I'm not willing to shell forth that kind of dough for the Renegades Storm Shadow. Oh...but now, Hasbro has come up with a Sunbow accurate Storm Shadow!!! Lovely, just lovely! Now I'll back off the Renegades Storm Shadow search for a while. And who knows, after the Sunbow Storm Shadow comes out, maybe the Renegades Storm Shadow will drop a little in desirability. But who's better in your eyes??? And is there anyone out there that has been lurking about in ebay hoping to score a Renegades Storm Shadow but now has changed their minds after seeing the new Sunbow Storm Shadow?

I've got 2 from preorders (1 displayed, 1 carded), so I didn't have to deal with the ebay scalper nonsense. And I plan on getting 2 of these through preorder as well (after all, it's a GREAT figure).

They're both awesome, and in the end kind of apples and oranges: one is a "real world" reinvention of a classic concept and one is "childhood happy place perfected."
I saw the trend that was happening right when Renegades SS came out and snatched one up in a BIN for $15.99. One of the best collecting decisions I ever made. The worst? Passing on 5 or 6 yellow 25th Ann. Stalkers for $4.99 each. |

Both!
The Renegades SS can be displayed in any combination with the extra head and accesories. Can be just a white ninja (Rambo!), a young apprentice or classic SS. Then you get the new one, which is the Sunbow classic, a perfect figure of him. Quote:
If i recall correctly, the full suit (with sleeves) is what SS looked the first time he appeared... or something like that, somebody posted some comic scans of it.

I would venture to guess the only reason people are voting for the Sunbow version now are because A) they are either tired of that mold now that it has seen use 9 times or B) they weren't able to get Ren SS.
The Renegades/30th SS on its own merits (like if you can disregard how much reuse the mold has seen) is an absolute work of art and easily one of the best GI Joe figures ever made. You know thats high praise from me, because if they never made another SS figure again I wouldn't care.

Yeah! His first full appearance in the Marvel series is issue 21 where he has long sleeves.

I doubt Ren Storm Shadow would go down in price. Either way I opened mine and when I found a second one I gave it to my best friend.
I like the Ren SS so much more than any other SS figure, but I can see that I might liking this new one a bit more, I guess it depends what accessories he comes with.

Sounds weird I know but my favorite figure is the Renegades SS but I still prefer the look of the sleeveless one. I have two renegade SS and go to the HOH version for dios and play.

Was looking to replace my renegades storm shadow(my 5 year old nephew snaped the neck off of mine while I was at work), but now I'm waiting for the ultimate version he looks way better. Didnt think they could top the renegades, but looks like they did, way to go hasbro.
