Body Construction
T'Gin-Zu's body was originally used in 1992 to create Storm Shadow (v3) and later used to make Storm Shadow (v4/Shadow Ninja) (1994), Storm Shadow (v6) (2000), Storm Shadow (v9) (2002), and Storm Shadow (v12) (2004). The chest, arms, waist, and legs were re-used in 1993 to create Ken Masters and Ken Masters (v2).
Like all the Ninja Force figures, T'Gin-Zu's body was designed with a "real ninja move." If T'Gin-Zu's left arm was raised, the right arm would move back. The left arm could then be let go, causing the right arm to spring forward in a punching motion.
Note that T'Gin-Zu has two cloth ribbons attached to his right hip.
