Ninja Origins - Chaos Clan Ghost Ninja

The second member of my Chaos Clan, the Ghost Ninja is, as the name suggest a ghostly ninja, summoned by the Mahōtsukai to serve the Chaos Clan. Being undead, he is very hard to kill. Nearly invisible during the day, the Ghost Ninja's unearthly aura will make his skin glow brightly in the dark, making him unsuitable for covert operations. 

Some more info about the parts used after the pictures.


While I prefer the look with the hood down, different configurations are possible, going from all the way up to either top or bottom of the head covered.






And an attempt to show the glow in the dark effect without plunging him into full darkness:

Now for the build. Obviously, the main figure is the Masters of the WWE Universe Undertaker figure, without the armour and halberd. This figure already has a bit of an oriental look about him, with the beard and the hair, so I felt it was a good fit. 

The tunic is a repro vintage Ninjor tunic bought off ebay, with the sticker removed. I prefer to double wrap the ribbons around the  torso and tie them in the front, unlike the proper Ninjor way of tying them in the back.

The accessories are the energy trail parts that come with the Masters of the WWE Universe The Rock figure. They are a perfect colour match for the blue tattoos on the Undertaker's body and in fact look better on him than on The Rock.

Finally, the sword is from a Funko Mortal Kombat Scorpion. I painted the handle black (and varnished) and added some dark blue accents in the same shade as the blue tattoos, to tie it all together.

All in all, while a very simple custom, I think the various parts work amazingly well together to give him a dark, menacing look.
