Points of Interest:
Whether it was intended as the ultimate tip of the hat to hard core vintage collectors with a flavour for the international releases or just as an opportunity to repaint an existing sculpt, the Storm Shadow (Ninja-Ku Leader) figure is loosely based on the Ninja Ku figure released in Argentinean line in 1985. Oddly enough the original figure, while it did fully utilize the 1984 sculpt, was never intended to be Storm Shadow. In fact, the Ninja Ku figure had brown skin, making the Storm Shadow (Ninja-Ku Leader) figure a truly strange addition to the modern line.
