On the heels of my Cobra Commander custom I present my Snake-Eyes custom based on the second version of the character featured in Series Four of the A Real American Heroes line back in 1985.
My absolute favorite character from G.I. Joe, I have been planning Snakes since June of 2014 when I acquired a Sideshow 12 inch Snake-Eyes head on eBay. I spent last winter sculpting a neck for that Sideshow head and undergoing the process of shrinking the head down. Shortly after Mego Meet I made a mold of the shrunken head and cast it. I spent the last couple of months getting the final components to complete him.
The detailed breakdown of what I used to make him are as follows:
HEAD: My shrink of a 12" Sideshow head with my paints.
BODY: Doc Swivel Bi-Cep
BODYSUIT: Sewn by my wife.
MILITARY HOLSTER BELT: CTVT
HOLSTER: CTVT, cut from above Holster Belt
PISTOL: Doc
KNIFE: Doc
SWORD: CTVT, modified and painted by me
SHEATHS: Tailored and sewn by me
WEB GEAR/STRAPS: Tailored and sewn by me
POUCHES: Cut from CTVT military belt
UZI: Donated by one of my Magnificent Team figures
GRENADES: Also donated by one of the Magnificent Team figures
TIMBER: Hobby Lobby
ARASHIKAGE TATTOO: LaserMego
BOX: Designed and assembled by me
I thank you all for stopping by and giving him a look.
YO JOE!!!!
