Numbers of different minifigs in series 1: 16

The parts. New type of eyes on the head here also.

Some torsos to compare:

......................... Jedi Luke ................................... Old black Ninja .................. New black Ninja


vs.
The new one .............................................. The old one


Don't let your daughter-in-law eat your autumn eggplants!

This is not the coolest minifg in my book beacuse it´s not as crazy as a lot of the others, but still it´s nice to get an updated ninja . Hope you enjoyed it.

One more! Thanks CopMike!

I really like this one and I really want to get it. It looks great to me. Although that it looks simple it is beautiful at the same time. Not to mention the great new minifig head!

A great thanks for the SW pic you've provided for comparison for us non-SW fans.

The torso looks a lot better than the two you compared it too (Draggy, need a new torso?). Is the headgear the same as the old, i.e. no double katana holder?

[Ratshot]

Thanks for the review
I agree with you though, its not an "amazing fig". Its rather plain

It´s the same:

It´s in quite a lot of sets, including Indiana Jones ones.

Thanks for the great review CopMike.
I love Lego ninjas so of course I love this one too.

Thanks for the review.
The fig is not that special, but it's also not that bad. The new face, the new torso and the 2 golden Katana's make this quite nice.

I like this minifig; I agree that it's not the best in the series, but it is nice. I like the new torso and the new head, but I would rather have a bley, pearl bley, or even metallic grey katana instead. The gold doesn't really seem that realistic. Good to see that they're old-style, though.

I'm all over this guy, as Lego Ninjas were pretty much during my Dark Ages. Thanks for the review CopMike!

[BlueBard]

Not my fav in the series but definitely a nice one Thanks for the review CopMike

BTW, anyone else has noticed that most of the MF series heads have a "cross" expression?

[indianajones]

So this wasn't found in a mystery trash can? It's ok, but it has too many old parts.

1.I was hoping for a new version similar to the new Boba Fett, with a seperate mask and holder
2.Really? Which IJ sets?

Don't really know what you mean by cross, but some are weird/too similar to other heads(the spaceman and diver are examples)

Thanks for the review! Looks like you will have the whole series before anyone else!

I love ninjas, so I hope I can get one of these. The dual Katana make me want to grab a few more Desert Attack sets so I can have more sword holders.

[Etzel]

Looks good! I like the new head, variations in facial expression is always nice.
The torso is also nice, I prefer it over the old one.

Cool! I like this updated Ninja.

[lightningtiger]

Thanks 'CopMike' for the review - actually I like this one now - he looks more Ninja like with his costume - all black like a real one would have been.
Can't wait for these to hit the shops - COOL !
Keep on bricking !
