25th Anniversary Custom Ninja Force Stormshadow

Yes, I admit. I was a fan of Ninjas when they first became popular. But when the Joe Ninja Force came to be, I was quickly dismayed. The neon coloured costumes are ridiculous and are so uncool. That is, with the exception of Storm Shadow.

This custom by Airborne is a very faithful rendition of the Ninja Force leader, Storm Shadow.
After defecting to the GI Joe team, it wouldn’t make sense for Storm Shadow to use his old Cobra garb. His first attempt had some disruptive pattern but I found it to be a little too white, as compared to Firefly’s dark gray camouflage pattern. However, I was awed when he came out with this new outfit that blended white and black. Sure, it still has white in it but the blending effect made up for it.

I only have two syllables for Airborne’s NinjaForce Stormshadow. Well done! The little details always count and this is a good example. The painted sandal straps, textured gold borders, clean paint job, and gold highlights on the NInja To. The flat finish was a good touch.

This got me thinking now. Would the Ninja Force look cool or even half-decent in 25A style?
