Should they stick with generic Ninjas and Samurai, or branch out to other things? If you want them to do licensed themes, should they fill in the nieche for obscure properties, or have them try thier hands at more popular ones?

The only thing this line has done in the last 4 years is release repaints that no one wanted, why would they bother doing a whole new line? Overpriced Legend knockoffs that cannot properly convey dynamic ninja poses with the rudimentary articulation.

The Fwoosh Store didn't update their blog in over a year, did they give up?

I think there's a new wave with some new parts coming. But they need to update the articulation scheme at this point. The feel a bit outdated.

I have one, they look decent, but actual quality is fucking shit.
Joints are either loose or super stiff to the point of me being afraid of breaking anything while posing.

Also when I removed armor (it's removable) part of the paint was ripped off the base figure, as if shit was put together before paint dried up.

So yeah. It's passable display piece for 10-20 bucks, and you can do fun shit with armor and weapons, but beyond that it's fucking nothing.
Don't pay more than $20 and don't expect good playabilty.

I can only recommend getting one for dress up accessories for some other figure.

These were such a disappointment. I ordered 5 different ones and within a week I'd gotten my money back via ebay on 4 of them, kept one for the novelty of owning one of them.

Those stiff style samarai dont entice me; but if they rip off some ghostof sushiman styles Id perk up.

Why not sell the armor accessories in a set, kind of like what they did with pairs of arms? Would be nice for those who don't want a shitty bootleg of a marvel legends, but rather put the armor on a better toy?

I think they're fun. They are a little limited because Fwoosh were obsessed with making these fit ML, so they have less articulation than you'd like, considering the cost. At $50, they weren't worth it. At $20, they're a steal.

I love the accessories, though.

I think they fit better with "true" 1/12 scale lines and accessories than any of Hasbro's lines.
