G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Poll - #42 - Red Fang Ninja (Rise of Cobra)

[canprime]

Red Fang Ninja is a sale/clearance buy if made in Classified.

Right now I would have to say no. The ninja is just lacking something.

I'd be in for him if the spruced him up a bit.

ROC week is a real bust but hopefully this is the thread's lowest point.

ROC week is a real bust but hopefully this is the thread's lowest point.

Kinda feels like ROC was a low point in terms of taking risks on designs or character inspiration. The designs all kinda come across as GI Joe knockoffs instead of GI Joe inspired.

Especially with so many Ross exclusives.

This is supposed to be a ninja? There’s really nothing to communicate that. This would be a pass for me.
The design is to “super-hero” for this genre, in my opinion. I find that the case with most of the movie designs.
Secondly, I always felt the RAH hero leaned too hard into the ninja gimmick, and I felt it took away from military aspect of the line. That may be an unpopular opinion, but I’ve passed on many of the classified ninja characters already, and would probably pass on this one too.

If there's one thing Lethal Larry loves, it's ninjas

Everyone has wondered at least once what it would look like if James Franco's Goblin from Spider-Man 3 joined Cobra.

Now...Sam Raimi's Norman Osborn Green Goblin costume? That would fit in

Cobra Commander saw him fly by, turned to Destro, and said "Make me THAT."
