Released in August 2020 as an Amazon exclusive, many think it was an odd choice for Hasbro to decide to have Storm Shadow's Classified debut sporting his v3 Ninja Force snow deco, as well as offering him as one of the line's first exclusives. Utilizing parts from some of the Origins figures, the figure is sort of disappointing since it lacks the same articulation as other Classified figures.
Arctic Mission Storm Shadow comes packed with the following gear and accessories: a quiver backpack, a bow, an arrow, a sword, a removable sword sheathe, a scythe blade, a grappling hook (with rope) and a removable hood. Using the poll options, rate the figure on a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being a total miss and a 10 being plastic perfection, based on what you feel the figure deserves. Ratings should take overall design, sculpt, paint apps and paint deco, accessories and articulation into consideration. Thanks for voting and Yooo Joe!!!

My only real issue with this figure is his lack of shin articulation and the fact that they painted him with such a dirty, off-white cream color instead of the bright white that should have been used.

Like the Red Ninja, the chunkiness of this figure's build reminds me more of a Chuck Norris Karate Commando than a Joe. Cool accessories, but not a fan of all the gold.

The Red Ninja and this figure are the two most 'toy' looking figures of the whole line so far. (easiest way for me to explain it) It's just impossible to look at them and not think 'toy'. For that reason, I only give it a 4.

I think this figure was thrown together at the last second out of discarded movie costume design parts. When it was decided that they didn't want to go ahead with the tatted-up "Gym Bro" Storm Shadow, they knew they needed to rush something to the market, so we got this. The legs are the same design as a lot of the figures released as movie Storm Shadows, and there's probably other similarities as well.

I gave this a 6. The Ninja Force version of Storm Shadow isn't my preferred version (I like v1 and v2 best), but it is a good recreation. I didn't like the white weapons and lack of paint on said weapons (although they painted the bow and quiver) and I don't like that there's no where to store the grapple hook or kama. They did a much better job with the v1 version of SS and I hope they do an even better job with v2.

I don't own any classified figures that I view as "bad" figures. With that said, I just never felt any excitement with this one and it is one of my lease favorite in the line. I give it a 5

I'm a huge fan of arctic themes and snow Joes, but this sucked. He looks like snow that's been plowed off into the ditch. On the tails of the movies, this was just a weird SS version to release first.

i gave him 6. Not really my favourite version of Storm Shadow. This should of been his 1989 look.
