993 Hall of Fame Red Ninja Mission Gear set and back of card

After the first wave of 12 inch Hall of Fame G.I. JOE figures were issued, Hasbro began releasing clothing and gear sets for the Hall of Fame G.I. JOE line. Some of these sets were issued as part of the Kenner line when Hasbro briefly transferred the G.I. JOE franchise to their Kenner sub-division. The Red Ninja Mission Gear set was released in 1993. The Hall of Fame Storm Shadow could now have a team member for any missions.

Red Ninja Mission Gear description from the front of the card:

  - Realistic G.I. JOE Ninja Battle outfit

  - Authentically styled weapons & accessories

  - Grappling hook launcher really shoots!

 -  For use with all G.I. JOE Hall of Fame figures.

Mission Gear Accessories Include:

Red hooded Ninja uniform top and red pants, black mask with yellow lens, grey long sword, grey short sword, black knife, two black grenades, black 9mm Beretta pistol, grey grappling gun launcher, orange grappling hook and white rope.

Deficiencies:

- The mask is not what I expected for a ninja mask. Also it is just a re-coloured HOF Snake Eyes mask.

- No knife scabbard provided; look where the knife is positioned. As soon as the Red Ninja bends at the waist... OUCH!.

- Nothing in the way of a holster to secure the 9mm Beretta pistol.

-  My major complaint is they didn't provide any footwear ! ? ! They could have included the black HOF Snake Eyes boots. I would rather had a pair of boots instead of the grappling hook launcher.
