X Review: Cobra Combat Ninja

Like I said before, this is another rehash of the Shock Trooper mold, which is perfect for the use of the nameless soldier. They really tried for a sense of realism with the Shock Trooper, and it still translates over to this figure completely. There’s still a great level of detail in the mold, with creases and folds in the fabric. It picks up where the Shock Trooper left off, without missing a beat.

Along with the excellent sculpt of the body, there are two new heads that come with the figure. The first is another completely masked head for the nameless, faceless soldier look, and the other is very robotic. Less suitable for this figure in my opinion, and better used for a B.A.T.

The articulation is the same as in the previous uses of the mold, and nothing is lost. Nothing is added, either, which means they didn’t throw a pair of rocker ankles onto a figure they didn’t need to be on. But it’s also not really suitable to be using any sort of ‘Ninja’ in the name. This is definitely no ninja.

Head, shoulders, elbows, swivel-and-bend wrists, torso, hips, double-knees, basic ankles. And frankly, that’s all this mold needs.
