Figure: Storm Shadow V1

Originally in the service of Roberto Viola of Argentina, Ninja Ku is a graduate of the "School of Assassins" (located at Fort Benning, Georgia) training along side such notable personalities as Manuel Noriega and Omar Torrijos in the techniques of murder, torture and terrorism. As a volunteer for the failed "computer immersion" program, his training was accomplished mostly through computer simulation and "direct to cortex" information transfer. A cocktail of steroids and minor surgery to improve joint flexibility allow him to move as easily as a cat.

His specialty is low noise, no visibility infiltration and assassination, generally using knife or chain based weapons.

Having plied his deadly trades in El Salvador, Ecuador and Bolivia, his murderous excesses eventually brought him to the attention of Cobra.

Ninja Ku was the first figure that I really wanted to knock off the minute I discovered Rit Dye. He is nothing more than a badly yellowed Storm Shadow dyed black. The boiling process even cured his loose legs, and left him able to stand.

Unfortunately I managed to break his heal displaying him at a Joe Canuck meet, but he's still one of my favorites.
