The bow will clip onto the backpack with the triangles the hold the Night Creeper crossbow. When you do that you can clip the claws into the sides of the backpack and hold all that stuff. It fits but the backpack wasn't made for that so it doesn't hold well, but it still works.
I tried and I see what you’re saying, the box artwork shows it how I showed it so I think that’s how they want you to, I don’t think it works all that well.
I spent a few minutes looking for an arrow wondering if I lost it, before clicking on your video. I’m not a Hasbro hater, but that is pretty cheap on their part to not include the arrow.
I didn't have a problem with the katana sheathe's until actually having the figure in hand and after playing a shit-load of Ghost of Tshuhima, Yeah. The angle and draw of those katana's is so wrong. LOL.
But storm shadow is a ninja, not a samurai. Is the skirt supposed to be body armor? Im on the fence about cutting it off and just leaving the belt pouch.......or leaving all the stuff but cuting away all the skirt parts.
Good review. I didn’t have the o-ring version when I was a kid and I wasn’t super excited about this one but after getting it in and opening it, I agree, it’s a very good figure.
Great review Lawrence. I’m looking forward to picking him up soon. I had both versions of him, in o-ring. I have the classified one but not the RC one. I like the classified one. Did you get your ship notice from pulse/fedex for the DF? According to FedEx mine is to arrive on Saturday. I have others which I got from a retail outlet that I’m waiting for those to ship also. Wasn’t into the line when the Haslab campaign for the DF was active
Nice review! V2 Storm Shadow was the first Storm Shadow I got as a kid. But he is not Samurai. 😅 Maybe its okay. Or maybe he is Left handed. But I do agree, it should have been on his Left side and the direction of the curve of the scabbard, when worn, will depend on the heaviness of the armor or clothing worn.
Neither one wore them in the “right” side. No Japanese person would have worn swords on the right side…. It’s a universal thing. No one on the world would wear a sword or carry it in the right side. Period. That’s history, that’s fantasy lore.
He's not a Samurai. He's a Ninja.
Right, and anything he wears to offend a samurai would make sense.
Great review! I can't wait to add this to my collection. Ssv2 was always one of my favs as a kid. Thanks for the video, Lawrence.
Thank you, loved him as a kid and I think they did a great job with this one.
Dude, you are the master of putting the figures in a one-footed pose!

great review, and your custom "billy" looks dope!
I picked him up today during black friday
You’ll like him.
In my eyes StormShadow will always be Cobra "CoBrrraaaa!". But your right, that uniform is when he was rollin with the Joe team.
Yo Freaking Joe!
Well even their Arctic Storm Shadow is a Joe outfit, but like I say, your toys, your canon.
Very true, and knowing is Half the Battle.
Yo Freaking Joe!
Arrived today and he balances and poses incredibly well. Backpack not the best (Night Creeper reuse) but a small complaint. He's awesome
Not a fan of the backpack, but I love that we don’t need it for him to carry his swords.

I was surprised there wasn’t one too since they already have the mold for a couple.
Same! I was afraid my cat will find the missing piece and eat it :D
Did not want to like this one. But you sold me on it. And so glad the claws actually fit for once.
Cool figure, but the hood makes him look like the kid I caught trying to break into my car.
It looks better in person and I think it actually works better this way.
My only complaint is the hood being too low. But other than that, he looks great.
I'm excited about this one. O-Ring version was one of my faves. Now I want Darth Vader Cobra Commander.
Battle Armor Cobra Commander>Hooded Cobra Commander

Well remember, they’re toys, it’s hard to make it so everything functions perfectly. But I do understand what you’re saying.

That’s what Tony’s Figs did.
I’m curious, can you take off his hood?
Good review. I didn’t have the o-ring version when I was a kid and I wasn’t super excited about this one but after getting it in and opening it, I agree, it’s a very good figure.
A tiny bit of heat makes those claws look amazing punk !!! great review got mine , but I have an opened him yet
I can't wait to get him!! This is my favorite storm shadow ever!
I honestly really like this figure. I was looking at him more last night and I just think he’s so good.
Great review Lawrence. I’m looking forward to picking him up soon. I had both versions of him, in o-ring. I have the classified one but not the RC one. I like the classified one.

I am getting the full wave today. I can't wait!

I don't mind the swords on the right because he's a ninja not a samari

Me neither
I mean, ninjas are real so how do we know they wouldn’t wear them this way 🤷🏻♂️
This is BS!! When you're Cobra, you're Cobra 4 life!
His gijoe stint was just a phase! 😭
Counterweight bro. 😂
Great review
