Hey champs fans,

This week I thought we’d take a look at some very cool ideas for a true martial arts master – the Ultimate Ninja! With this set, our goal was to provide some ornate, decorative pieces that also serve as armor without restricting a warrior’s range of motion.

Although we often design costumes around a signature look, we aim to make pieces that can complement many other themes as well. For example, the mesh and modular armor in the first concept would fit in well with a technologically themed hero, while many of the parts in the second concept would work quite well on a myriad of martial artists, or even sorcerors.

Finally, though not pictured here, this set seems a perfect candidate for a few “fighting claws” weapon pack-ins.

As we all know, a Ninja should practice the art of invisibility - but with costumes like these, you may not want to!
