Which version of the 88' Storm Shadow do you use in your collection and why? I am kind of partial to the 25th one. The original was my Storm Shadow as a kid because I didn't have the '84 version. The 50th one just looks kind of ridiculous with his giraffe neck and other proportions being off. I remember one in the concept case at joecon and it was awesome but I don't think the 50th one was it. I could be wrong though and would be disappointed if it was. Wonder if those concept figures eve exist anymore.

I only had the '84 Storm Shadow (v1) and still have his upper torso, with much of the paint worn off and not so white anymore.

I like the original 1988 Storm Shadow best because he was my first Storm Shadow.
To me, the 2007 25th anniversary version doesn't look quite right. I agree that the 2015 50th anniversary version does have a bit of a long neck. I bought the 50th loose so I use that with my ME Joes. |

I made a custom one, but I don't have it anymore. The reason was I replaced that with the Ninja Force one as the Ninja Force is my favourite Storm Shadow.

50th Storm Shadow is one of the best ever for sure. Does the original justice, which was a personal favorite of mine as a kid. And they didnt screw up the camo like they often do on such repro/remake-figures.

The Modern Era figures look stretched out and lanky to me, when I go back and look at them.
At this point, bring back the O-Ring style, just replacing the O-Ring with a ball joint at the waist. Add wrist swivels and up-and-down hinges at the ankles.

Sneak Attack Storm Shadow from Retaliation was pretty good.

88 Storm Shadow remains my favorite figure & sculpt of all-time. It's never been improved upon, IMO. Sometimes the 25th look better but not in this case. Actually my favorite version is the camo version that came in the Cobra Ninja Strike pack in the early 2000's, but I've never had him loose so I don't have that same nostalgic connection...
