He's going to be a independent blister on the website, so I don't see him getting a second release. I think it might be the Kunai Ninja non-preorder release version. Looking at the C1 roster, he's grouped with the named characters, so might be considered a character in C1.
I've gotten some images to share! OMG I'm getting this guy just for the roof peice! But Still it looks fantastic! I'm so getting this for YJ (hopefully we still have them in N4), Ikari, and whatever i feel like! He looks pretty good to me. I'm not crazy about the HD over the eyes but not bad. I like! I'm not thrilled about the fur stuff. Never have been. Makes not sense to me. I'd think in the future we'd be wearing a better version of gortex. Whatever, still pretty cool. I love him! That's an actual Chinese sword but I can't remember the specific name. Dao is used for blades sharp on one side.
Shang Ji looks great, and I'm glad they went with one of the two relevant profiles (although I'd definitely rather the HRL). Ye Mao... eh... not a huge fan. I don't hate it, but I don't love it. That helmet is just... not great. Jing Qo looks like buck-toothed crap, but I can just use my Hulang as a proxy, since I doubt he'll ever see use in any other way anyways.
Ok so takeaways from that video SMG ninja profiles don't exist so I guess there's something in the pipeline. Shang Ji hackers don't have a multi rifle but that model certainly does
It sounded very much like the Ninja was specifically called out as JSA. There is an Oniwaban SMG profile in there.
Good catch. Hopefully the box is an HMG, Missile, Combi-Flame and Tinbot then. They just need to cost less or smgs need to cost more.
Nah, Multi Rifles aren't really affectes by comparative cost to SMG, they kind of suck compared to Combis, but if they cut exotic ammo prices down to +1 for AP/Shock and +2 for light MULTI that should do it mostly. Heavy MULTI probably needs a cut as well...
Something just now noticing. Jujak are classified as Veteran Troop, and Meows are Elite. Useful for certain missions and cards. I'm hoping they change Shang Ji to either. Kinda funny since Jujak seem to be a little subordinate to Shang Ji.
Nice stuff here! The Ninja is awesome, almost a diorama, but one that I like. The Shang Ji looks pretty good also, but why again, the hacker first? Remember IA: Liu Xing, Zhencha ... hacking profiles first, are we Nomads or what? I want a TA profile! The Ye Mao looks okay, the helmet is strange and I am not a fan of the fur parts also. A Tian Gou would be more lovley in the beyond box. Jing Qu looks a bit strange but I like her look - very futuristic. But for what reason, we need her? Is she some Shinobu light? Anyway, now we get her, she looks good, so I will play her ;-)
