In my defense, it's not like he takes up a lot of room

So I upped and went to a toy store because I really wanted one of the new 12" Cobra Commander figures with the clear helmet. Up close and in person, though, he looked rather awful and awkward and his clothes were cheapish. I went looking through the 4" figures to see if they had any Baronesses (no) and saw an unmasked Storm Shadow that I ended up buying because he was so veddy cute.


See, they've put Byung-hun Lee on the card to draw you in with the cute before you realize there's anything wrong.


"Cute" being a relative term, I reckon, and of the three or four they had, this was the best one, "best" also being relative.

His head is smaller than a dime but I'm the one who has to look at it and I did not want to look at a disgruntled wall-eyed pervo.

So I touched up his paint here and there. He ended up looking older and introspective which I suppose is better than looking like a wall-eyed child toucher.
