Some folks out there might want to skip this one... We're tackling a subgroup that may well be the one that made GI Joe jump the shark. We are talking Ninja Force. And the opinions shared may shock you. Or amuse you. Hopefully both. We get into the art of negative reinforcement and the double bluff, courtesy of our man Psyche Out. And our definitive sculpt section deals with the first lady of GI Joe, a woman with no shortage of ninja connections, the one and only Scarlett. So check your spring action ninja moves and get ready to throw down with Slice & Dice & Everything Nice!

So Rob, you're telling me you want as many Battle Axes and Pile Drivers as I can ship to South Africa? 😁

The Battle Axe and Pile Driver are like if an 8 year old boy designed the IT.

And looking at the card art, apparently Dojo and Tjbang have that same proctologist angle. 🤦🏻♂️ And check out Bushido's art work?!? What were they thinking?!? And Banzai is clearly a pink gimp! The artwork and designs on some 80-90's toys are really...suggestive.

Ninjas are just a modern faction of soldiers for young boys to emulate in play. Knights, wizards, cowboys, Indians, ninjas, samurai, Marines etc. Boys have always gravitated towards male oriented archetypes of soldiers. Firefighters are another form of warrior too. They are strong enough to fight fires. Or are supposed to be. That's really all it is. And the 80's and 90's had a lot of Japanese influence through our governments interactions and the US I think still feeling guilt over using atom bombs on Japan instead of going there and fighting them face to face like we should have. For all we know, Japan helped Muslim terrorists attack the US as retaliation. I would hope they're more forgiving than that, but I wouldn't put it past them.

Ninjas made the 90's better. F the post millennium culture.

I've got enough life experience to know women don't have the weight behind them to be a credible threat to a 180-225 lbs guy with training. And if they're big like China they're dexterity is way off. I respect female martial artists, and I never underestimate an opponent, but I don't sweat ladies in combat. 💀
