Here's a few more new ones.

Hunter Artworks Ultimate Ninja Head and Torso

Here's a torso, that I sculpted using the Hunter Artworks Average Citizen Tabula Rasa blank, in action. Since Hasbro only has one ninja torso available, I wanted something new that resembled a more traditional ninja uniform. The head is from a ROC Storm Shadow that I modded and also comes with the torso. I haven't written up his background yet.

Special thanks to Hunter Artworks for the torso and to Obi-Shinobi/Blasterman for his insight.

Lower Arms: Comic Pack Resolute Storm Shadow

Hat: Ages of Action Ninja (Thanks Marcus!)

POC Quick Kick

When we first saw photos of POC Quick Kick I was disappointed with the figure (love the gloves and sword). I wasn't impressed with his new legs, lower arms, and bulky top, so I immediately pieced this together. Then he waited patiently for me to get his gear together and paint him up.

Well, I finally completed him and I'm pretty happy with how he turned out. The way the shuriken attach to his bandolier could be better, but it works good enough.

Quick Kick is my favorite. I love the detail and the parts mix..he looks tough and not silly

The ninja is way outstanding - and that hat really adds the perfect finishing touch.

Yeah, that Slaughter were always somewhat suspect, I think, LOL.

Fine work all around, my friend. Your paint apps are just out of this world.

I've never liked Quick Kick as a character, but in this form I love him. It's very clean and simple in one sense, but yet is a much more realistic and sophisticated take on him. And the paints are epic.

I'll never look at the sarge the same way again. seriously, great looking customs. Gender bender Slaughter looks like a female body builder. Your Quick Kick mod is perfect, I really like the nunchuk holder on his belt, and the removeable shuriken is perfect.

Wow.
You ninja is awesome. The color of his suit looks like the one worn by the Koga ninja in Kage no Gundan and his head makes him look like Yagyu Jubei.

This is how the RoC Quickkick should've looked like. Just add the KFG logo and it's perfect.

Lady Slaughter is just funny.

Awesome Ninja, and I was thinking of the very same recipe with the head to make a Yagyu Jubei! To see something like this realized, is fantastic.
All you need is a tattered over the shoulder reed yoke and you'd have a Yagyu Jubei.

That is awesome.

QK and the Sarge, rockage!

I like the ninja but I don't like the ball of hair on the top. With the hat looks great.
QK is cool and I like how the waist up is and thearm choices for him. Weapons are great just don't care for PP Snakes legs.
Gender bender looks really good sculpt wise. I like her besides the arms look odd to me, good thinking there though wouldn't have expected that when I read sex change,
all 3 painted very good like always

Ninja- outstanding figure. I love the simplicity of the lines and it truly feels like hes wearing a gi

My favourite version is with the facemask and the Coolie hat tho- bags and bags of character that instantly calls to mind a backstory and gives the character a depth.

Whether from days of yore or contemporary times I definately get an individual feel from this. Almost a ronin. I think the eyepatch also helps with that.

Quick Kick. Hands down the best version I have seen of this guy IMO.

Always loved the character but never really felt he truly belonged to the GI Joe line and was simply a homage to Bruce Lee.
This figure instantly gives a more militarised feel and you can imagine theres a military heritage just from the figures bearing. And the accessories are just the cherries on top, especially the shuriken on the sash. And Ima sucker for that H and K MP7- perfect weapon for this character.

Slaughter- LOL. Class but her jawlines too soft to truly be the Sarge

Impressive
