1984 ... Storm Shadow. Easily one of the coolest figures out at the time. Also he is possibly one of the plainest, and simplest in terms of design, however he was still a very intriguing character to me. I love martial arts and ninja films, so seeing a character like that packed with such great accessories blew me away. I read his file card in the store thinking that this dude would be a great bad guy to have. I remember not being able to get it the first time I saw it and was really disappointed and it almost haunted me, lol. Then later I saw him again and I absolutely had to have the figure. I got it, got home, and my brother and I were amazed at the cool backpack and weapons he came with and had a blast using him. He was THE coolest Cobra figure we had.

Later on I got caught up on Storm Shadow's comic book story and I found him to be an even more interesting character. There's a lot of dpeth there. To this day I'm still a huge Storm Shadow fan, regardless if he's a hero or a Cobra.
