They really need to axe the "Feudal Series" part, because the shinobi of Japan's Feudal era most certainly did not look like that. Ninjas, as they're primarily called in western culture, didn't have uniforms. They had disguises. Lots and lots of various disguises.
I get it. They want 6" GI Joe figures and Hasbro isn't budging. But the ninja is probably the second most-butchered pop culture staple after the Velociraptor. But nobody would buy a "historical" farmer or a "historical" small feathered dinosaur because the popular versions are so vivid in our minds. So I don't know why they're even trying for a historical spin on this.
Just fess up and make an amazing, historically-inaccurate figure.
