Hello. I was wondering if anyone here collects these. I have always been interested in them due to their customization and large assortment of accessories.
Was curious to see how certain parts look mixed together.

Are those the Ninja figures? If so I have thought about getting them, but passed because I didn’t want to go down that rabbit hole. I have seen setups online where people have DCD/DCC Batman figures fighting them and it seemed to blend nicely.

They look awesome but the times I was interested in buying any they didn't have the ones I was wanting. It's definitely one of those lines that requires you to be paying attention so you don't miss out.
The white one with bare arms was a dead ringer for version one Storm Shadow, but I've never seen it in stock.

They actually released a newer version of the white ninja but now with the Shoken head instead of the old man one.
I was thinking of buying one of these and finding a few of the older parts to make a custom classic Raiden from Mortal Kombat, but I was curious of others opinions and possibility seeing pictures of the mix and match possibilities.
I once saw a nice looking customized white ninja with parts from other figures and it looked awesome. Sadly I missed out on the bid.

After seeing your first post I looked into these again, and I actually want the purple ninja. No idea why they have a purple one, but it looks sick! haha |

I got in on the kickstarter YEARS ago and ended up with three of the basic black ninjas. They're fun, I imagine they'd improve even more if I had the arm packs and various accessories from other figures. As it stands, even three of the same base figure can be customized to have totally different looks, thanks to interchangeable weapons, hoods/masks, weapon sheaths/scabbards, hands, etc.

I got a bunch in the Kickstarter years ago, then bought some more recently. They actually slightly altered the sculpt to improve them. They’re pretty cool. I have a crap ton of red, black, and blue ninjas. I have 1 each of the white, tan, and green ones. Here’s a pic of some of them.  |

My question now is how would it look to mix the Shoken arms and gi onto the white ninja body with added white arm wraps. I'm sure I'd have to paint some parts black to get the right look and may need a better belt.

I think my buddy bought something similar to these. I'll have to ask him

I decided to go ahead and order one. Thankfully I was originally planning to buy a white ninja (back when they were sold out), so even if I am not 100% satisfied for my custom idea, I still have a use for it as is.
What I want to find out next is if they scale similarly to the older Jazwares Mortal Kombat figures. I'm sure they would be close as they both scale well with Marvel Legends.

I'm curious to know about the improvements as well. Looks like waiting out may have paid off after all. Only thing I've remembered hearing about was the arms packs being defective sometimes, but probably very rare. I personally only want/ need the white arm wraps from the set, but like the bare arms themselves are probably harder to find due to the many Storm Shadow customs. |

They’re really small improvements you probably wouldn’t notice if you didn’t have the originals. But the joints are more sturdy and move more easily. Also, in the torso, they cut out a little more around the butterfly joint to give it more range. It makes it easier for them to hold swords two handed in front of them. |

Thank you for going into detail. Now I'm even happier I waited and managed to get an order in this time around. Sounds like the type of improvements I'd greatly appreciate. |

Just got my first 3 from the Fwoosh website. You can also get ninjas for a low price of $11.99 which is hell of a steal! I'm pretty impressed and disappointed at the same time. Not sure if it's just mine or what, but the upper thigh cuts, the fist hands, and the foot are all very loose (especially the hands since they pop off really easy even from just articulating them) on all 3 of my ninjas.

The hands definitely come off a little too easily. The left ball hip feels slightly loose compared to the right leg on mine as well. |

I got a few on the Black Friday sale. I now own three of the purple and four of the black. I like them.
