8" GIJoe Commando Figures: Beware Of The Dark Ninja Master


The Wire

Recommended Posts

Kind of cool, but definitely weird. I agree that if they're going to take chances with the line, give us a Baroness at least...

 

I kind of doubt I'd buy these, but that Kabuki-looking one is kind of interesting...

i think he almost looks like a scooby doo villain...and he looks like a lot of fun! i guess i'm not so old-school that everything has to fit w/ the mythos for me. i agree, these ninja guys aren't really in a vein w/ a miltary themed line, but i like fun no matter the story or media tie in and he looks like a wild crazy blast of a character, somewhere between a voodoo witch doctor and a ninja and i'll take it cuz i like both!

Does ANYONE have a problem with the concept of THE most uber badass NINJA EVER being solicited as a SAMURAI? Isn't that a bit problematic?

 

That's like having a Ulysses S Grant in his Johnny Reb gear action figure.

 

Or a General Patton as a Nazi action figure.

 

Or General George Washington in his British Redcoat Uniform action figure.

 

I swear Hasbro has the biggest idiots working for them. Samurai Ninja. That's like Coke Pepsi.

 

Whoever thought of this is lucky I don't have to gas money to drive all the way to Rhode Island and kick them in the beanbag. Morons.

Problematic to a degree. GI Joe was the team that employed Ninjas, Ninja Commandos, and Samurai. And later you had Jinx and Budo (in the comics, for what its worth) being an item. Sleeping with the enemy in all its double entendre glory.
