    Here at Last! Snake-Eyes & Storm Shadow

    Just got my package from Hasbro Pulse. Let's start with the eye candy...








    My initial thoughts:

    1. The figures themselves are great
    2. The "GI Joe footlocker" is really like a crayon box... but it is absolutely brilliant.
    3. The hands feel small. The Uzi did not immediately fit in Snake-Eyes hand (he was holding it by the clip), and I wasn't about to force it...
    4. The accessories are an odd mix. Some are hard plastic. Others are more rubbery. Not a problem. Just an observation.
    5. While there is a slight height difference with the new body (as seen in the photo with Mr. Scott), it is not as noticeable as some have worried.
    6. In the end, I am a fan of the packaging. It was a fun unboxing. Although I worry about it being a little flimsy.

    All in all, these are some of the coolest Mego figures released so far. I'm hoping we see more partnerships with Hasbro in the future.

          The packaging looks great and cool that it has no plastic involved. The foot locker is a great touch. When I first saw it, I thought it was a bit more substantial, but it is still cool nonetheless. Figures look good. I am looking forward to seeing one of these bandless bodies in person. Thanks for the photo show.

                Yeah, those look superfun and worthy of next-gen Mego evolution… fabric combos, nunchucks, and those white boots! Enjoy!

                        got my set today. it is really nice. i am debating whether to unbox them or just display in the window box with the outer sleeve pushed up so i can see the figures and enjoy the art work

                          I agree they look fantastic. The question remains though...will there be more to come or is this a one-and-done set?

                            Those look really cool. Not a RAH fan, but those are up there in some of the best figures they have done since Wave 1.

                              Many thanks for the pics.

                              For those who have taken the figures out, how is the new body? Are the joints tight/loose? There is a YouTube video and the Storm Shadow body was kinda loose. :(
