All nine 1993 Ninja Force figures (7 carded and 2 drivers) featured a spring-action, martial arts move. Bushido's was a teisho chop!
Filecard information:
Code Name: BUSHIDO
SNOW NINJA
File Name: Goldfine, Lloyd S.
SN: 452-H89-0079
Primary Military Specialty: Cold Weather Specialist
Secondary Military Specialty: Strategist
Birthplace: Hollis Queens, N.Y.
Grade: E-5
"Like a pointed, crystal icicle, I'm as clean as I am dangerous."
BUSHIDO likes to practice his martial arts skills outdoors in freezing temperatures to heighten his sense of awareness and discipline. He is known for being cool and calculating in the heat of battle, just like his blood brother BANZAI. After studying the techniques of such notable ninjas as STORM SHADOW and SNAKE-EYES, he trained himself in, of all places, Iceland. He has great respect for tradition and for family pride, which is why he wears an ancient Samurai helmet as did his warrior father.

Ninjas don't like to pose for pictures...
...they like to fight!
