So far I just see one figure, "Ninja-Viper". Looks like the leaked lists and pics weren't 100% accurate. Looks pretty neat!

TEAL!

Heh... He has a magic backpack, a'la Bazooka - "Look, ma! No straps!"

Wait... Are those Duke arms?

Sooo..... all those Leigon Storm Shadows I've been hording for Ninja Vipers are worthless now. :-/

The figure is pretty cool, but not unexpected I guess. It's a good way to reuse that mold again.

I will buy the crap out of that Ninja Viper.

My Ninja Troopers should fear for their shelf space.

He's using the same arms as the White SS with hood. coming in Wave 12

The accessories are good at least. I just don't dig the green Ninja Viper at all. Never have. I do like the hooded head though.

If only he had color changing abilities in hot and cold water....

These arms seem to be the new fixed TF Duke arms...
Man more ninjas. I just cant get enough!
Teal, red, white, black, all the power rangers err... ninja flavors you can dream of!

I understand the "ugh ninja" mentality. But I look at it this way: at least it isn't Duke or the same Cobra Commander figure released five times.

I actually think it's sort of neat. I never had the Ninja Viper from the 90s, and the odd zombie skinned one from VvV wasn't as great as it could have been. So this will be neat.

They could have at least used the Red Ninja/Storm Shadow/Ninja Ku head. *shakes head*

*sigh* ... You're right, at least its not another Duke/CC/SE.

Those will be revealed next :shifty:

As a ninja, he can blend into an Easter Parade un-noticed

I think you missed the very point of this thread: that we're getting a Ninja Viper *instead* of another Storm Shadow. The picture we saw of Wave 12 was (obviously) an early mock-up for the wave. This is the final product.

That said, the new Duke arms would've been *preffered* on the Wave 1 Storm Shadow ('88), rather than being used on all the Original 13 figures it was...

Yet again, we get a more accurate version of the toy... in the wrong colors.
