Storm Shadow has an all new torso and arms for this release. The legs and head are from the first masked Storm Shadow. The torso is bare chested with sword cuts all over it giving the figure a dynamic look. Storm Shadow also has a silver cord around the torso and a piece around his neck for his ripped suit. On his arms are some removable silver gauntlets, the left one has an area where you can insert a small dagger piece to give it a retractable blade action. Unfortunately these gauntlets restrict the elbow movement a bit. Underneath the gauntlets, the arms are sculpted with fabric looking gauntlets. Added to Storm Shadow’s growing ninja arsenal is a plain brown Bo staff along with his trademark swords and backpack sheaths that came with Paris Pursuit Strom Shadow. Instead of a missile launcher, Stormy has a backpack with pop out blades. The backpack has a peg hole and arm straps along with a carrying handle for when he’s using the other backpack. Storm Shadow comes with removable Torn Collar, Silver Cord, Bo Staff, Long Sword, Short Sword, Sword Sheath Backpack, removable Silver Gauntlets, Gauntlet Blade, Spring-out Blade Backpack and Cobra Stand
The look of this figure is very dynamic and the sculpting is solid. I however, do not see the point of the Gauntlets or the spring-out blade backpack. These items can be scrapped for all I care. I am also very pleased at getting a Bo Staff for my Joes. It’s a very simple accessory that is welcomed. Figure Rating: 9 out of 10 Last edited by Shogi; 08-31-2011 at 06:17 PM.. |

Funny thing is I just picked this figure up today. I like it for sure. Question though, how do you take off the Gauntlets?!

Hey Shogi can you do a fellow MCO a favor?
If you have a spare maskless Storm Shadow can you please post pics of his head on this body with the torn piece of his uniform still around his neck? I'm torn between this version and the maskless version because the maskless version will not be coming with that torn piece of his uniform. I might have to buy 2 figures to make the combination of both.

great review, seriously i dont understand why hasbro feels the need to give us so many freaking versions of the same figure, it is getting so old now, give us some new figures for crying out loud, this is effin lame.

If that's arctic assault storm shadow. Then what is the the one with the black "v" camo stripes?
Anyway Its a cool figure, not sure if its really something I'd pick up. Nice that they painted in some bloody deep scars. Makes the intensity of the character jump at you on card, rather than if he had a blank "gung ho" chest. And the switch blades are neat.
