[Product Introduction] Hot Toys' "Movie Masterpiece" series welcomes the second live-action action film based on Hasbro's popular toys, "G.I. Joe: Retaliation." The second release features Storm Shadow, the white ninja played by acclaimed Korean actor Lee Byung-hun! Storm Shadow, a member of the terrorist organization "Cobra" aiming for world domination, is a calm and collected assassin clad in a pure white costume. Possessing a sharp mind and a body that reacts with machine-like precision, he completes difficult missions with ease. His origins are completely unknown, but he received special training in his childhood alongside Snake Eyes, a member of the rival organization "G.I. Joe." Despite their long-standing feud, they acknowledge each other as "the greatest enemy." Standing approximately 30 centimeters tall and featuring over 30 points of articulation, this figure perfectly captures the captivating presence of Storm Shadow, the cold-blooded ninja of the terrorist organization "Cobra," as portrayed by actor Lee Byung-hun. Two interchangeable heads are included: one with his face unmasked and one with his mask. The unmasked head, which has been approved for Lee Byung-hun's likeness, is remarkably lifelike. Each face is hand-painted to recreate wrinkles, skin texture, and hairstyle. The distinctive white costume, which has undergone minor changes from the previous version, is precisely finished down to the smallest detail, including shape and texture. Weapons include his trademark two katanas, a pistol, shuriken, and a pair of sai, a weapon used in ancient martial arts. Furthermore, a variety of hand parts are included, allowing you to recreate Storm Shadow's dynamic action poses. When combined with his nemesis Snake Eyes, which was announced in the first release, you can recreate the tense confrontation scenes from the film. This is an absolute must-have item, marking the first-ever Movie Masterpiece figure of Lee Byung-hun, who enjoys immense popularity across Asia among both men and women! Keep an eye out for more releases in Hot Toys' ongoing G.I. Joe: Retaliation series!

[Film Introduction]
'G.I. Joe: Retaliation' (2013) Based on Hasbro's action figures, this is the second film in the 'G.I. Joe' series, following 'G.I. Joe' (2009), which depicted the battle between the international secret force "G.I. Joe" and the evil organization "Cobra." In addition to the returning cast members, including Lee Byung-hun as the ruthless assassin Storm Shadow and Ray Park as the taciturn warrior Snake Eyes, Bruce Willis plays the legendary first commander Joe, and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson plays the warrior Roadblock. While on a top-secret mission in Pakistan, the international secret force "G.I. Joe" is annihilated by a brutal attack orchestrated by their arch-enemy, the international terrorist organization "Cobra," leaving only Roadblock and a few others alive. "Cobra," aiming for world domination, seizes this opportunity to invade major cities around the world. Ultimately, they drop a nuclear bomb on London. Isolated and without allies, G.I. Joe, with its first director Joe as its leader, confronts the global crisis. http://www.gi-j.jp/
