I was extremely happy to see this in the package Jason Vorhees sent me because it was a Joe!Any day you’re able to add a new Joe to the collection is a good day.I remember seeing this figure first on the Arc and really liking it.The 90’s Joe line featured lots of martial art/Ninja characters and Bushido here is one of them.I got this one loose without accessories but still dig the heck out of it.I quickly jumped on YOJOE.com to get some info on this guy and it turns out that he’s a “Snow” Ninja from Queens,NY.I think “Arctic” Ninja would have sounded better but “Snow”Ninja will do.How cool is it that he’s from Queens,NY!I can picture this guy high atop a snow covered apartment building in the middle of winter ready to pounce!He kind of comes off as a Marvel character with somewhat of an Iron Fist vibe to em’.Check out the Chuck Taylors in the last pic!”Kiss my cons!” 😉
I always disliked the bullhorns on some of these ninjas though…I just thought it made them look cheesy.
I felt the same way for a long time but after a while these 90’s figures/Joes started to grow on me.
The bullhorns make him look like he’s a Texan !
The NFL team or the state? 😉
Could be both. Those horns might be illegal on the field 🙂
Ha LOL.
Love it Tony and your figure has it’s Bullhorns! Mine is sadly missing.
Thanks jb 🙂
What the….? Cons?!?!? I thought they only gave those to ninjas they were ruining in Joe movies. Great eye!
Actually if you look on his file card,it points out the sneakers.I wonder if they got the idea from the character Sho nuff in the film “The Last Dragon”.
A word of warning on these color change ninjas… the plastic they are made out of is kind of brittle. Their thumbs snap off really easily if you put weapons in their hands.
Thanks for the heads up Buzz.I’m reluctant to place weapons in any of my 80’s Joe’s hands because of that.If it seems like i have to force the weapon then i just leave it alone.
