There was a time when Ninja Force was the least liked G.I. Joe subset. But, in recent years, collectors have come to appreciate the figures from this small line. While the figures do not feature standard Joe articulation, the quality of both the sculpt and the colors really shine. The content created using the figures, though, hasn't quite caught up to the general acceptance of the concept. There's some cool stuff out there using the 1993 orange Slice. There just needs to be more.
You're right about the 90's ninjas growing on us. I definitely like them more now. Slice is legit a good sculpt, though a Kendo mask might have made more sense than a fencing mask. Dice is similar, a good sculpt with a weird mask. But, weird masks are pretty normal for Cobra.
ReplyDeleteI prefer the red colorway better, but the orange is strong too. I'm such a huge fan of Slice & Dice. Just wish I could change their rubber bands. 😞 The lack of content out there about Slice might be explained by the fact that he's held together with a dry, brittle rubberband, ready to snap. ⚠️
