tres bien passe

As I sit here looking at my posed Storm Shadow action figure there is a little kid inside me who just got the best gift at Christmas. Not entirely based on nostalgia, but on seeing something they loved as a kid in a perfected form. Imagining the play time I would have had with this and how happy my younger me would be is priceless. A+ Hasbro, thanks for making this little gem. PROS - Amazing detail: From throwing stars on his sash, to a fingerless archery glove. From sheathable katana's, to an arrow that is drawable from the quiver. Even the folds in his wrapped wrist and ankle bands are textured in a way as to portray fabric. Very well done for a mass produced figure that probably won't bust anyone's budget. - Endless flexibility: So many moveable joints, including swivels and double joints allow for endless posing opportunities. - Faithful recreation: I've seen a lot of Storm Shadow figures come out since he was introduced in 1984. None have captured his original magic for me until this one. A modernized replica of the original with a few liberties but keeping the spirit. - Size: 6" is a great size to me and the standard I look for now. Easily manageable without being unwieldy...though you do have to be a bit delicate fingered when posing or adjusting accessories. -Durable: While it may feel like you are going to break it when trying to adjust, the figure is surprisingly durable for all the pops and twists it takes...and doesn't seem to lose any of its rigidity. NITPICK - Paint Bleed: Just pointing out that some paint bleeds (example: skin color onto eyebrows) But this is really expected on a smaller, mass-produced figure. They did a pretty good job considering and it's not entirely noticeable unless studying the figure closely. NOTE There is a newer, almost identical copy Retro Classified version that has been recently released that takes it even a step closer to the original by including similar boxing, art, and minor details. Love them both...again, minimal difference between them but both capture the spirit of the original brilliantly.

Excellent figure.
