Ignite White Ninja - First Male Purchase in a Long Long Time

Shaun’s photo-shoot of his Ignite Brown Ninja made me so gian that I decided to buy another ninja. I just couldn’t take it any more.

Why was there this inner conflict? You see, the brown and white ninja did not score high on first impression, unlike my female black ninja. It was not that i didn’t like them. I considered them “good to have”, but due to my shrinking room space, I cannot be collecting every “good to have” figure in the 1:6 world. So I own a Asajj Ventress, but buying one more alien Jedi Master like Plo Koon is akin to opening Pandora’s Box.

Until Shaun posted the blog. I thought, a new ninja could act as bodyguard for my female ninja. She would have a sparring partner. A lover. Or arch-enemy.

Today at Yellow Box Trade, I saw the white ninja. It still did not score high on first impression. I asked the boss whether the black and brown ones were still available. No more. Then he said something that was like sage advice – these figures don’t wait, if they’re gone they’re gone. I can’t remember the exact lines. I left the shop, but halfway back I relented and returned.

The original plan was to score both white and brown ninjas. But the colour combination looked weird to me : white – black – brown. I dropped the idea.
