Mystery Joe?

miked · 07-20-2007, 05:36 PM

Hi- new guy here. I just purchased the single carded 25th Anniversary StormShadow and after perusing over the sillouhettes of the troops to come on the back of the packaging I noticed one that I don't recognize. Anyone have any idea who the bow shooting ninja- like fellow in the second panel from the right on the bottom row is?

thanks... it's great to be here!

Welcome aboard man! "Mystery figure" is Sei Tin/Satan, a character who was an exclusive to Argentina and utilized the first Storm Shadow mold from 1984 sans swords. He was more recently used in the DDP comics.

I think he can double both as a character, or an army builder Red Ninja for troop builders.

No problem man! Also, the newest listing from yesterday shows the figure in question now listed as "Red Ninja".

Yes, most of it will likely be a Storm Shadow repaint, but based on what we've seen so far, I think we can probably at least expect a new sculpt head, which would be cool...

lets hope they do a new head sculpt. but i dont think they will. hasbro will have to do less if they just repaint the whole V1 fig and make money on it. you know how lazy hasbro is at times.

You mean like Shadow Ninja Storm shadow from 93-94? Come to think of it, the hooded single pack version would look great with that one along with clear plastic....

I don't see why hasbro would need to retool the head. If they make a new head, thats great, but the current Storm Shadow head is accurate to both the red ninja and the ARAH Satan figure.
