G.I. Joe Storm Shadow CAS 85 (Hasbro, 1984)....

Description

G.I. Joe Storm Shadow CAS 85 (Hasbro, 1984). When Storm Shadow joined the Cobra ranks in 1984, the G.I. Joe line gained one of its most iconic characters. As the team's first ninja, he brought martial arts mystique and a complex backstory that tied him directly to Snake Eyes, igniting one of the franchise's greatest rivalries. Armed with twin swords, bow, and backpack, Storm Shadow quickly became a cornerstone of both the toy line and the Marvel comic, his white-clad presence setting him apart on store pegs and playground battlefields alike. Carded here on a 34-back, he represents the pivotal Series 3 lineup that cemented G.I. Joe as the defining action figure brand of the 1980s. This example has been graded CAS 85 with subgrades of C85, B85, and F80, producing a True Grade of 85.4. Strong card and bubble scores balance the figure's grade, underscoring its preservation as one of the cleaner survivors of this heavily played-with fan favorite. Few figures in the entire Real American Hero run resonate like Storm Shadow, whose character and design elevated Cobra's ranks and rewrote the playbook for 1980s action figures. For collectors, this high-grade example is an essential opportunity to secure the Cobra ninja in top-tier condition.
