Next time, yet more superhero goodness as I show the first of my entries for the Forgotten Heroes challenge. They look very similar to their comic book counterparts and because they're all made by the same company, they tie in well together. I could have used some of these older figures for my Foot Clan ninjas but these guys fit the bill far better. I also have a few Hand Clan ninjas from the Marvel Heroclix range. I have a lot of ninja figures in my collection, bought when I was playing FGU's version of Bushido. They are not that good in combat and tend to get mown down in vast numbers without doing much damage to the vastly superior Turtles.Ĭrossover Miniatures are sold by Minibits and here's a link to their webstore.

There are stats for ninjas in 7TV2e, but I agree with Andy when he was creating stats for his TMNT figures that these should actually be classed as Minions. My plan to use these figures is to include them as part of Shredder's villainous gang in 7TV2e. In addition to their separate heads, they also come with separate ninjatos in scabbards. They are also armed with sub-machine guns, ready to go all out.

That just leaves the last four figures who must be bought as a group of four.

Also, most Foot Clan ninjas are now robots created by Shredder and his alien partner, Krang, but some are still human. Nowadays they are primarily a terrorist organisation based in New York and led by Shredder. The Foot Clan ninjas have a long history dating back centuries and originating from feudal Japan, although their backstory changes depending upon which version you believe - comics, film or TV. The bug eyed heads are ideal for the Foot Clan. What makes them so good is that they all come with a choice of three heads - bug eyed masked heads, cowl masked heads and unmasked Asian heads. :-)" He wasn't wrong! These 15 figures from the Crossover Miniatures Ninja range are just perfect stand ins for the Foot Clan ninjas, arch-enemies of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. When I first saw a sampling of these figures on Andy's blog da Gobbo's Grotto, see here I praised them and Andy said, " the Foot Clan I thought would tickle your fancy and I knew you would want to be putting your wallet into service once more.
