Firefly - Head
Blind Master - Base Figure, Sash
Hard Master - Shuriken


Firestorm was hard to get an idea of how to incorporate to the "Resurgence" storyline. He's based on Storm Shadow's Strike Team - Urban Division figure, but we had already established Storm Shadow as a full time good guy in the Resurgence timeline. The colors were perfect for Shadow Brigade, and I was pretty sure Oreo Builder had already done a Night Force Storm Shadow in the first NF project. So I started to think, who is he? Well, he's in the pack with the Urban Strike Night Creepers (now the Midnight Creepers for Shadow Brigade), so he's obviously their leader. The ninja timeline is a little murky to me, but I think of the Night Creepers the elite of the "bad guy" split of the Arashikage clan. So maybe he's another Arashikage Master? I started trying to come up with variations of Hard Master or Soft Master or Blind Master or Silent Master that sounded cool... "Shadow Master" wasn't bad, but around then I remembered... hey... didn't Firefly pose as an Arashikage for a while? Firefly's in the Urban Strike Team already, and I didn't really feel like doing a straight Firefly repaint... why not merge the two? When Firestorm popped to mind when I tried combining Firefly and Storm Shadow's names, I was sold... he'd be Firefly in disguise, recruiting more Arashikage to the "dark side" and trying to take Storm Shadow's slot (and pay grade bump) as COBRA's resident Ninja Master.
