RED NINJAS are ruthless mercenaries who work mainly for COBRA COMMANDER.

They earn top dollar in battle because they are one of the most feared ninja warrior clans of all time.

When RED NINJAS enter a fight, they're in it until the bitter end or until they get more money to fight for someone else.

GI JOE is the only force that has ever beaten them, but they had to call upon every tactic and weapon in their arsenal before they were able to subdue them. RED NINJAS possess advanced ninjutsu skills that are hard to find, and they fight like razor-toothed sharks in a feeding frenzy.

"We spin and chop with sword and battle axe quickly that you never see the blades coming."

Red Ninja Leader (v1) came with a brown and black backpack, a black bow, two brown and silver swords, a brown and silver knife, two-part black crossbow, and a black COBRA display base with text "CODE NAME: RED NINJA LEADER".

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The leaders of the Red Ninja clan have reached the highest ranks in multiple martial arts systems. These grueling taskmasters demand the impossible with the threat of severe punishment in the event of failure. They consider themselves the greatest ninjas in the world and are determined to defeat Snake Eyes, the only ninja who has ever beaten them in battle. They work mostly for the Cobra organization, but because they are mercenaries, they'll hire themselves out to a higher bidder if one comes along.

"G.I. Joe ninjas will never be the best because they lack one thing: the ruthlessness to seek their own glory before the needs of others."
