Cobra, Modern Ninja from Reaper

I know, I know  But there is just something not right about that model... for now I will keep looking for a better model, but maybe I will end up with the Reaper dude anyway.

If I eventually go the Reaper way I will have to do some converting on the head and the pistol deffinately needs to be changed for an uzi...

It really does seem like the uzi is the weapon of choice for a modern GI Joe (or Cobra) ninja.

And thanks for all the comments guys

Have you seen the new Crossover Miniatures Ninjas?



Also, the line has a "Ninja Boss"..


They come with variable heads, the set has one option and the Ninja Boss has another..

Hope this helps!

Yeah, I saw them, they look pretty good too, but for now I won't need more ninja henchmen. But maybe in the future.

Must resist adding Foot-clan to my list of projects before the wife kills me.  I like those.

[D@rth J@ymZ]

Yup, very cool.  I thought "Foot Clan" from the first time that I saw these.  But the head options make them pretty versatile as any type of ninja.  I would need to find a suitable Shredder or Krang model to go with though...

Anyways, enough thread hijacking.  I think the Crossover ninjas would work well even mixed in with some of the other lines (Perry etc.)  Has anyone done any size comparisons?

[Jonas]

Someone need to do some turtles in 28mm too

Someone need to do some turtles in 28mm too 

Yes!

[Michka]

Someone already did...



Of course these are from the 80's, so they aren't the easiest things to find. They were made by a company called Dark Horse. Believe it or not, the miniatures company pre-dates the comic book company of the same name.

[Jonas]

I know about these, but they are small!!!! even for 25mm they are small...

I have the versions with sci-fi weapons, but they will never fit in size with anything else.

My apologies for the derailment, but relevant to this comment.  A couple choices from Pulp city

[Dr.Falkenhayn]

great Start Jonas,always nice to see with what you come up next  Speaking of Ninja Henchmen,i went with the Superfigs for all my Ninja Stuff 

[Jonas]

That is also some pretty nice ninjas! 

[Jonas]

So my GI Joe adventures continue. I was so lucky to get a couple of Hasslefree miniatures as an early Christmas gift from my wife.

The miniatures I got was Oko, which I wanted to turn into Kim Arashikage, codename Jinx and I got Oakley, who obviously is Ash from the Evil Dead movies. I don't know what Ash will be used for, but for now I found a use for his spare katana.


My converted Jinx size up well with the red ninjas.


A katana had to do when I didn't have a nakinata.


Comparison shot of the original vs. my converted model.

The photo seems to have been taken from a not so good angle, I actually think my conversion work on the hood looks better in real life. But I have no doubt that once painted red no one will doubt who she is.



Maybe I will try and do a black dragon on her chest, but I can't promise that it will be good.

[von Lucky]

Nice one.
