Remco has a Secret of the NINJA !!!! EVERYONE loves a NINJA !!!

Remco churns out great toys like its easy and this is a fine example of their mastery. From the Secret of the Ninja line: Karate Black Belt Champion !! Unlike the Black Ninja that I posted about here : REMCO NINJA , this guy is clad in white and ready to kick ass !!

 
I've got his removable white mask but the wrong weapon.
He's supposed to have two Tonfa so I'll be on the hunt for those.
 
 
Still, he is pretty formidable with the massive Scimitar !
 
 
He's got a lever on his Butt to activate his kicking action.....
 
 
 
The two Black Ninja think they are up to the challenge.......
 
 
 
The Champion !!!!
 
 
I missed out on these guys when I was a kid but at least I get to enjoy them now !! Who wasn't big into Ninja in the 80's, Hell, I started looking up Ninja for this post and spent an hour looking at weapons and tactics !!! NINJA RULE and so does REMCO !!!!

Remco has a Secret......Secret of the NINJA!!!!!

What???......Kobra Khan from from a previous post (click here) .....be careful.....there are NINJA about!!!!
 

I warned him.....
Tread carefully around Ninja!!


In 1984, Remco, the AWESOME toy maker, put out the Secret of the Ninja line in response to the Ninjamania that captured America at the time. I had no idea these guys existed back then but thanks to John over at revengefromthecosmicark and his love of Remcos, I started trollin Ebay and came across this guy!! Picked him up for a reasonable price but alas no card :( Anyway as far as I can tell he is just a basic Ninja figure but just unbelievably awesome! I cannot for the life of me figure (pun intended) out why some figures slipped off my radar as a kid cause this line of Ninjas is the F'n bomb! Lets check em out....


Masked....


Unmasked reveals an incredibly details visage!


This guy comes with removable mask and Ninjato.....
what the heck is Khan thinking now!??!?



Ninja are dangerous even without their weapons!!!!


For a figure that has a "Battlematic Action" he is pretty posable.


The usual lever in the back moves the sword up and down slicing opponents in half!!



Typical of Remco's of that era, the detail is exceptional!


 
I'm glad I came across this guy, cause the whole line looks like something worth collecting and researching. There seems to be about 10 or so figures in the line with several variants. Its pretty amazing that now pushing 40 I can find toys that I missed out on and collect em after the fact!
