who love those 5 point drivers I give you the 5 point SS!

I can't believe Hasbro keeps pulling this shit. It's terrible seeing the Red Ninja butchered like that.

BTW, Silver Samurai looks a bit like Bishamon from Darkstalkers, IMO.

I hope that tank-top Wolvie head fits on MU figs.

That's a shame, because those are really nice sculpts. What baffles me is why they didn't just go ahead and use the current red ninja mold? Money was spent to tool a new mold for less articulation?!?

Ha! Yeah, I thought about that. At least the lego sets are cool and fun to build, and even though the Minifigs lack in articulation, they're kinda cool. You expect that kind of articulation with the Minifigs, whereas 4" figs shouldn't go backwards on articulation.

2005-2009 The height of the 1/18 figure? Since ROC we have seen the scale That we love turn to crap! Batman,Ironman,Wolverine,Superman, and GI Joe all have done this! We have also seen better articulated figures peg warm and these 5 points Peg Warm EVEN MORE! Star Trek has abandoned the scale among others! POTC never caught fire so Lone Ranger has none in this scale! Lego and larger scale collectable figures are taking away the sales. Kids do not play with action figures anymore. Were complaining about vehicle drivers that suck in a line that's on life support!

Pretty much what I was thinking.

blackrazor1 · 05-25-2013, 08:37 PM

Kind of old news. We've known they were doing this since Toy Fair.

Python_Puckman · 05-25-2013, 08:41 PM

I remember seeing these images. The head on the black ninja is bad ass with the green eyes. May need to get one (on clearance) and head-swap with the black dragon ninja!

It's a damn shame what they did to silver samurai

Ah! That's why he looks so familiar. It's the soul-eating chestplate

Good call
