He speaks the truth. That's why the BHN is the ultimate ninja...he convinces you that he is totally incompetent! No one expects a Beverly Hills Ninja!
Or the Spanish Inquisition.
Back on topic...
I like the look of the ninja team much better than the samurai team. Predatory cat inspired beast alt modes appeal to me so I'll give this one less criticism for the cranium-torso it has.

How much do you wanna bet it's either Gekisoumaru or Gekisohmaru?

Oh, and the Spanish Inquisition gave people thirty days notice to prepare their defence
As for something more on topic... As cool as this guy looks I'm glad I decided to pass. Just not for me.

Someone's been watching QI instead of Monty Python's Flying Circus.

Well, they dropped the macron for Gaidora's name, so I'm hoping it's the least messy spelling of "Gekisomaru".JelZe GoldRabbit wrote:Sabrblade wrote:Oh, come on! Hisashi Yuki just had to position the figure in a way that obscures the character's name spelled in English on the box!

ガイドーラ Gaidōra -> Gaidora
ガンオウ Gan'ou -> Ganoh

Hehe, good enough.
And I was quoting a key line from a Monty Python skit.

I still think a large part of that is the colours and the faction sign. I'd probably be anticipating a big Decepticon (or Predacon) combiner far more than a 2nd Autobot one. The chubby shark and Phoenix better be really impressive or I'll probably pass on this lot. I don't see them working as nicely in combined modes either, but I have hopes. Despite some negative reviews I'm quite excited to get the Samurai, so the Ninja would be nice to get too.

I was wondering if someone would pick up on the QI thing. And never could get into Monty Python, so not a surprise I missed that oneConvotron wrote:Hehe, good enough.

That and the cost are the reasons why I decided to pass (not to mention that thing they're trying to pass off as a shark!).craggy wrote:But this really looks like it's one giant piece with the beast head and battery pack, then some spindly arms and legs that get swung around for transformation.

LOL! Fair enough.
As for the figure itself, I think it could have done with a smaller lion head. Even in beast mode, the head looks ridiculously over-sized.
Unless this thing is supposed to combine with other bots and the large head is supposed to be in proportion to the combiner mode?
Haven't been keeping up with the TF Go! line.
