Looks terrific, but if the objective was to make it cartoon-based, then they're already off to a bad start.
Just about everything is off. But it definitely maintains the classic Storm Shadow vibe much better than most of the SSC stuff did with their interpretations of the Joes.
I initially thought he was standing on a broken fire hydrant.
Honestly I never read this comic series before. I just came across it as I was searching for Storm Shadow images. Personally I like this version of him.
He looks great. I had a talk with the lady from the Kokomo Toys last week about the vacuum of GI Joe and it left me kind of depressed about the Joe's seemingly being edged out of everything. So glad to see this happening and from such a great company.
Posture could be better, over emphasise abdominal, intercostal and oblique muscles and the alignment of the compound bow's sight is not straight with his eyes.
And look at the string......also the bow is not stretch/compressed...he is pulling the arrow already..... the more I look the more issues i can see.
