Comic Book 3-Pack #21 Snake Eyes Storm Shadow & Red Ninja
UPC: 653569054061 Product Number: 61061 Assortment Number: 60332 One of the two most dangerous men on the face of the planet, STORM SHADOW was once a master of the ARASHIKAGE ninja clan. Now, he sells his arcane skills to the evil forces of COBRA in order to pursue his twisted plan for revenge against his former sword brother SNAKE EYES. Ninjas are mystic warriors, spies, master swordsmen, acrobats, conjurors and tricksters. They can do all sorts of amazing things — or at least seem to do them, because the ninja’s prime directive is embodied in a major precept of the ancient warrior sage Sun Tsu, who said, “All warfare is based on deception.†Some people say that ninjas own the night. If that’s the case, SNAKE EYES owns the whole 24 hours. Anybody who isn’t a mouth-breather has a reasonable chance of sneaking up behind a sentry in the dark. SNAKE EYES can do it at high noon on a gravel path with no cover. At one time SNAKE EYES and the COBRA ninja STORM SHADOW were sword brothers, but circumstances forced them apart and led STORM SHADOW down the evil road to COBRA. Although others see them as bitter foes, SNAKE EYES looks at the COBRA ninja and sees only the best friend he ever had, so he dreads the day he may have to draw his sword against him in earnest. RED NINJA VIPER warriors, wearing the symbol of the Arashikage clan, are ruthless mercenaries who work mainly for COBRA COMMANDER. They earn top dollar in battle because they are one of the most formidable clans of ninja warriors existing today. When RED NINJA VIPER troopers enter a fight, they’re in it until the bitter end (or until they get paid more money to fight someone else). The GI JOE team is the only force that has ever defeated them. RED NINJA VIPER warriors possess advanced ninjutsu skills that are hard to find, and they fight with razor-sharp moves that are almost faster than the eye can see.

Remember when Hasbro's Retro figures were done right?

The 1988 Storm Shadow is my favorite figure and I have a weakness for Red Ninjas, and #21 is my favorite comic of all-time, so it was a no-brainer when I saw it.

This is an amazing set! Marvel G.I. Joe #21 is one of my all-time favorite comics as well. I wish they still produced these Marvel G.I. Joe comic packs - they were some of my favorite ARAH collectibles. I liked that you were getting three figures in the pack (without having to search for them individually), and also that they were based on the specific look of the figures in the ARAH Marvel comic.
I remember getting these @ TRU in the early-mid 200X's. IIRC, these comic packs pre-dated the 25th Anniversary line - which began in 2007. Last edited by Doctor Venom; 02-15-2022 at 09:31 AM.. |

I agree, I love the comic packs so much. I have 2 of the Joe ones, 1 Star Wars, and 4 Marvel. I wish DC had been able to have some made. I'd love a 3 pack with Batman, Ra's and Talia with some old issue in the back.

Another "wish" would be Robin, King Snake and Lady Shiva, since that mini-series from around 1990 or so was my first DC comic, and I love those characters.

This was a cool pack with the exception of Snake Eyes' head. It was ridiculous looking with these giant oversized goggles that made him look like some kind of robot from a low-budget 1950s sci-fi movie. Insane that they molded an awesome new head for Firefly in the same series and then put....that THING...on the Snake Eyes body.
