adventures in the dollar tree

over the summer, tom and i ended up going to the laundramat a lot. to alleviate bordom, we usually bum around the dollar tree store--y'know, one of those 'everything $1" chains.
and in the toy aisle, we came across this guy:
the 'art' on the backboard seems awfully similar to certain screenshots from the NES Ninja Gaiden series. HMMM.
naturally, i had to buy it. i mean, it was only a dollar and all.
here is Ninja Warrior, having shed the shackles of its plastic and cardboard wrapping, in all of his misproportioned glory!
the colors are all wrong, but the resemblance to a certain Ryu Hayabusa is pretty obvious.
now, for a tedious step-by-step checklist, just to confirm how far the copy-fun goes:
foofy metal tiara and nonsensical buckles on chest? CHECK.
kunai strapped to right thigh? CHECK.
weirdly suggestive bondage straps on left thigh? creepily, CHECK!
however, Ninja Warrior DOES come with two important accessories that Ryu never had....
...a hang-glider and a GUN! omg.
he will dive-bomb you slowly from the skies!
in conclusion, i leave you with these wise words from dinosaur comics:
He has uberly beastish hands, though. And, the most important question of all:
Is his butt as fine as Ryu's?
getting those hands to hold the shiny gold gun was pretty hard. XD
and finally: no.
Though he doesn't look like he's over-compensating... unless you count the hands... o.O;
Hiz arm is like gonna break off or something. D:
