The Ninja Force side of the GI Joe Classified line by Hasbro has been popping off lately especially with the two pack reveal of Slice and Dice who look like two of the best ninja themed characters to be released in the line so far! Nunchuck also rates up high as one of my favorites, with these martial arts styled characters being some of the most fun and unique in the line compared to their more military-styled comrades. There's still plenty of characters and variants from the world of Ninja Force to be updated for the modern day, and these are the top 5 I hope to see next in this growing subline!
5. Night Creeper
The Nightcreeper we got in the mainline is one of my all time favorite army builders thus far, with a great sculpt, lots of unique accessories, and both the standard and Ninja Force styled headsculpts! All the sculpting exists pretty much to create its Ninja Force variant, all it needs is a repaint capturing the wonderful blues and brighter purples.
4. Snake Eyes
There is no end to the Snakes Eyes that we are getting in the line, with two new versions both going up for preorder very recently. So it may be a minute (or not) until yet another Snake Eyes joins the line but when that time comes I could see them easily reusing one of their molds to bring into the line the Ninja Force variation of the popular character. Clad in his usual black attire, Snake Eyes this time around has blue bandoliers throughout, and a skin tight mask with actual eye slits visible.
3. Zartan
Along with the ninja themed characters, the mercenary Dreadnoks are another major highlight for me in the line. Zartan and his crew were recently revealed in their Cold Slither designs which is one of the greatest releases in the line so far, and another very welcome release for the leader of the mercenaries would be his Ninja Force look. Sporting a ridiculous mohawk, neon green pants, and a sleeveless leather jacket, Zartan really encompasses the silly wardrobe the Dreadnoks make such great use of.
2. Banzai
Finishing things out with these characters that haven't been debuted in the line yet, Banzai is a ripped, shirtless warrior with a cool Casey Jones-like mask, an awesome purple color scheme, and all the typical facets that make these ninja type characters a lot of fun. With the rate at which we're receiving new characters these days it would make for a great addition to have Banzai entered into the line.
1. Bushido
The other character so far not introduced in the line in any capacity is Bushido, a character everyone thought was on the immediate horizon after a similar looking helmet appeared as a silhouette on Nemesis' box art. All of the previously mentioned points about the other characters applies here as well, with Bushido easily able to come with a litany of deadly weapons, sporting a fun design with the main selling point being that horned helmet!
