Body Construction:

Slice's entire mold was used in 1992 to create the original Slice. It was also used in 1994 to create Shadow Ninjas Slice (v3) and in 2002 to create Slice (v4).

Like all the Ninja Force figures, Slice's body was designed with a "real ninja move". Slice's spring-loaded right arm could be pushed back, then released, causing it to spring forward in a punching motion.

Note that Slice has two cloth ribbons attached to his right hip.
