MotUC Ninjor speculation/discussion

[zodak74]

And also, since the only thing he would need is a new head and weapons, if he does end up using Skeletor's body, does that mean he's close?

Discuss!

This thread was started over four years ago... and yet still, with all of his presumed shared parts... NO NINJOR!!! I would think that 2013 would have to be his year though... maybe October or December's figure? With all the unique tooling required for Ram Man and Mantenna, the few remaining slots seem like they'd have to go to characters that'll be cheap for Mattel to do. I look forward to him... we've yet to have a figure in this line clad in black (Stinkor's the only one I see on my shelf that's mostly black), and the red boots and gloves are sure to be eye-catching. Hoping for demon feet, a maskless head, and nunchucks with an actual chain!

Exactly my thoughts! the next figures to be announced could be Ninjor and a 200x character. I think the reason for the delay is that they use low tooling figures to compensate high tooled ones, and with the announcement of Mantenna, clearly Ninjor is the logic choice for the next character

Mattel COULD reuse Preternia He-man's Chest Armor to save on new parts. Dragon can be a tampo (like Faker's Chest tape deck)

..."eh"... nah.. rather have them take that chest tho, and sculpt on a dragon emblem in 3D. Then that I could REALLY get behind!!

would Ninjor benefit by having Bow's articulated bow string hand?

I was against it when it was originally suggested somewhere in these pages, but I've tried multiple weapons in the hand and he can hold pretty much anything! So yeah, I'd say he would benefit from it due to it's ability to hold regular weapons and it would be great for any throwing stars or knives they decide to add (here's hoping).

Problem is that it would probably be matched with Bow's left hand, which is WAY too open to hold anything tightly that doesn't have the shape of his bow. Pretty much all the weapons I try just fall through or flop around in the left hand. So I'd be up for the drawing hand, but not the left one.

I was Ninjor for Halloween the year he came out. My Mom sewed the whole costume for me.

yeah, bows other hand is large & very open than the other hands.

Ninjor, being one of my all time favorite evil warriors, will be a welcome addition to my collection when he is announced this year. Hopefully.

How cool would it be to see Ninjor come with two heads; one hooded and one unhooded? The unhooded head could look just like the vintage head, which was Jitsu's. So if you wanted, you could put the unhooded head on your Jitsu if you're unsatisfied with the head he came with.

While i do agree, a hooded and un-hooded head for Ninjor would rock, Ninjor's head and Jitsu's head weren't the same.......BUT.....if unhappy with Jitsu's current head yeah that could work out.

[Nemisythe]

I do agree that they will most likley use Skeletor's body since that's what the classic did. And I too am fine with that.

So how about his costume. Think they'll still go the cloth route? I'm sure they would have to in order to be done the right way.

Maybe they can use the some of Preternia Disguise He-man can factor into this, since they probably won't be using cloth?

[DVD]

Well that's weird...all these years I thought they shared the headsculpt. Oops.

You're not the only one. I didn't realize it was different until I was researching the vintage figure to make a custom Classics Ninjor.

i never had ninjor as a kid...so i welcome him in MOTUC.

on a semi-related note...

it occurs to me that both japanese-inspired characters are evil? what is this? a 1930's serial?
frankly, in my continuity, jitsu and fisto are buddies and are both good...

jitsu is totally evil, though...

Huh? Are you saying in your continuity Jitsu is good, but in reality Jitsu is evil? Or did you mean to say Ninjor is evil?

Well all asian people do look the same...just kidding.
Not that the original Jitsu sculpt was very PC.

I can't wait for Ninjor, and I think the Bow articulation for his wrists would be a good idea and help round out his value seeing as he'll be about 75% re-used parts.
I really hope he has Ninja feet and not the monster feet. Maybe he could come with clip on feet so vintage purists can re-create the original.

My Ninjor wish list:
2 heads. Hooded and unhooded.
New vest similar to preternia disguise He-man with sculpted dragon.
Nunchucks with real chain
Bow, arrow and quiver?
newly sculpted sword. (Zodac and Kobra Khan got individual weapons)
And what ninja from the 80's would be complete without some throwing stars??

[iron_pride]

That's it Lee-Ro....perfect Ninjor.

The Stratos feet would be perfect here.
