looks like an even more edgy version of Snake Eyes (G.I. Joe)

Yeah they're havin a fuckin laugh with those prices. Double the cost of a Marvel Legend with half the quality. Joints come stuck and get very loose within a short amount of time, garbage paint, and fairly mediocre articulation for "ninja" characters.

Until another company gets their head out of their ass and puts out something comparable, this is all we have, so have fun

If you want a 1/12 Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes, sure.
Just need a custom head for Snake Eyes and a Cobra sticker for Storm Shadow.
You could also make a Strider if you wanted to out of the blue deluxe.
They're kinda shite but I don't mind.

So do I need to watch out for breaks and the like? I remember people talking about QC problems when they first came out, but I wasn't in the market so I didn't pay attention.

Hip stems could break, so look out for that. Any swivel joint could break, so look out for that. Heads sockets are tight as all hell and could break when swapping out, so look out for that.

It's better than bucky builds but not better than any body that has butterfly joints.

Invest in nail polish remover, and get rid of that nasty dry brush on the Solitaire and you'll have a much much better figure.

If I were to describe it, if he had a foot long dong, he could see the tip. He can look up enough to to see something in the air but not enough to superman fly.

It also looks a lot more natural than legend figures.

I have a bunch of them and grabbed some during the sale, too. When they arrive have some hot water ready for the hips. Be careful with some stuck joints from paint as well. All in all just be careful and don't just try to forcibly move anything before you heat them up. I haven't had any breaks or issues of that nature.

There isn't a "sale", they just threw up their remaining stock for people to buy. The prices have gone up every time they sell them, at this point they are about 50% more expensive than when they were in the KS phase

I got a couple of these too, and at least the regular ninja guy is pretty nice. About the only thing I'd like is more range in the ab crunch for getting into some real ninja shit. Price aside, I don't see what the fuss at release was about. Also, the hands definitely work with some figuarts if you want more options than what they come with or a gloved look. The ones in the pic are from SHF kylo and fit very well, though the gripping ones are too loose from being on him all the time.

Somebody here's probably done the snake eyes custom thing with this guy, how well do those cast heads on ebay fit the neck on these? An actual fit or do you have to use stick tack?

I thought you were kidding until I checked the link. Holy fuck they're really pulling a fast one with these.

Kickstarter prices are almost always cheaper.
When sold to the general public, the price invariably goes up.

If you want to see true rip off prices, check out 4H's toys being sold at BBTS.
Despite BBTS buying them directly from 4H in bulk, 4H didn't give wholesale prices, so the toys are 1.5x- 2x the cost at times.

I got this head from ibmmt on Ebay. I used some PVC pipe threading tab around the ball joint to make it larger to fit snugly inside the head. Otherwise perfect.
