The new greatest G.I. Joe figure of all time isn't made by Hasbro

The new greatest G.I. Joe figure of all time isn't made by Hasbro:

The silent ninja comes with two swords, knives, guns, a variety of hands, and the sensible slacks you see him wearing above. His price and release date are as yet unknown, but I'd bet ~$250 in early summer. You can check out many more gorgeous pics of the figure here at Hot Toys' Facebook page. More »
