What does the princess's face look like?

I convinced her to unmask...theres a picture, larger than life, at:

Do the red ninjas look just like the grey ones, but with dif. colors?

Yep, except for the Red Ninja Master, who has a great face hidden under the
beard.  I used it for Batu, and I think they should have used it for the Emperor
instead of the one they did use, cos it looks really cool on that 'fig...

Any suggestions on which sets I should get? I want a brown BP, and the beard'd
be nice... but the princess's face interests me as well.

I'd go for the Emperor's Stronghold personally...it's a bit more expensive but
the NFF has a lousy price/piece ratio and a bunch of BURPs.  I haven't been
able
to convince myself to buy it yet...hopefully it'll go on sale or clearance or
something.

The Emperor's Stronghold also has the extremely cool Emperor 'fig - love that
torso!  I like how the Emperor & Shogun in this theme have regular clothes under
their armor.

So, for me, the pros and cons would be summed up by:

Emperor's Stronghold:             Ninja Fire Fortress:
* Cool Ninja Princess             * Cool Old Ninja
* Cool Emperor                    * Cannon
* Cool sloped wall sections       * Plain old BURPs
* Better design
* Better price/piece

Hey y'all! I was sinking (1) about buying some red ninjas... but I'd like to know some stuff before I do. What does the princess's face look like? Do the red ninjas look just like the grey ones, but with dif. colors? Any suggestions on which sets I (...) (25 years ago, 18-Mar-00, to lugnet.castle)
