(More customer reviews)This review is for the 25th Anniversary edition of Storm Shadow, from the G.I. Joe series.
The figure is an amazingly accurate representation of the original Storm Shadow figure. The detail is amazing, and the paint apps are incredible. They've even included details that were originally introduced in the comic strip, such as Storm Shadow's tattoo that he shares with Snake-Eyes, a definite geek-out point for the fanboys rushing to purchase this toy.
I should point out that it is a lot more poseable than the original figure, which is no small feat. Wrist and ankle joints are articulated, as is the neck joint. There must be others that the original figure lacked that I'm forgetting, but the upshot is that you can put this toy into pretty much any position you desire.
The only area in which this toy falls short is in its accessories. The original figure came with a backpack in which you could store the longbow, katana, and wakizashi. The backpack also opened up to reveal the molded arrows inside, and came with plastic nunchucks as well. The 25th edition toy, though, doesn't offer a place to store the longbow, nor does the toy come with nunchucks. It's kind of disappointing, given the lengths Hasbro went to to improve on the original. They almost certainly could have come up with a way to store the longbow, as well as include the nunchucks.
However, these are minor quibbles. Hasbro did a great job with these figures and should be complimented for giving the fans what they want.
