    Best and worst Snake Eyes

    Kinda like when you changed into your last pair of clean pants and drank a whole bottle of Pepto Bizmol UT ! HERE IT COMES AGAIN

    The original commando ( with swivel arm battle grip )

    the 25th anniversary 12" ( because it had his original mask)

    Hall of fame because like Cobra commander and Destro we finally got a look ayt the face !

    Worst

    The Blue and grey 4 inch figure Hall of Fame was based on.

    The Silver and black Butterfly swords on chest

    Sorry but I never liked the snake eyes with a visor and Timber. the sculpt on teh mucles was weird and I didnt like the new mask.

      Yeah, V2 (1985) w/ Timber was the best. That's the classic Snake Eyes figure for me. Great accessories and he looked more badass than the first one.

      The new City Strike Snake Eyes is pretty awesome, though. He's the "hot" figure of the entire movie line, largely because he's based on the Resolute version. He comes with a boatload of weapons and stuff, too.

        The 25th version with Timber is mindblowing.


        I cannot believe the level of detail and articulation these guys have.


        It's cool that Habro is producing Marvel figures of this quality and scale. The next step is to get Star Wars up to this level.

        Mattel really needs to up their game with their 3 3/4" DC Universe figures.

          I hope they make more of the Resolute figures. That cartoon was great.

          Wish they would do a follow up, keeping Warren Ellis on scripting duties.

            I agree....Resolute was fantastic, and the direction i would like to see the franchise continue in.

            The only thing on the newer figures I would like to see improved is the quality of the plastic. I don't like the flimsy feel they have compared with the old guys. I love the detail and articulation, though!

              Havent seen that one before. I didnt really like the new line so I havent kept up. I learned with Marvel Legends You can have such a thing as TOO much posability. Especially in a tiny figure.

              I wonder why they dropped everything and are releasing the 25th sculpts as Rise of Cobra guys?

              I watched Resolute on Youtube. They killed people! Wow!

              Whys everybody hating on Major Bludd? Didnt Zartan kill him riding on a camel in Rise of Cobra?

                  I snagged 1 of him at Walmart for 5 bucks...
                  He is very Awesome.

                    Good find! I've actually found 5 or 6 of them at the same Wal-Mart, but haven't seen him anywhere else! He was selling like crazy for a while, but they say he's a bit easier to find now, I guess.

                    I opened one of mine, have two sealed, and returned one of them. He actually sat on the pegs for a couple of weeks! That's how popular they are here, I guess.

                    The $5 price drop is the best thing that's happened to those figures. They were too much $$ at first.

                      Thanks to a poster on this board, I managed to get my brother a couple of Snake Eyes Resolute figures in time for Christmas!

                      Didn't see any of them out in the wild here.

                        The Hardest Movie Joe figure for me to find,.. is that Kamakuru (sp) figure... The New Ninja guy they brought in around 2002..., Snake Eyes' Apprentice.. I have yet to ever see him,.. and Want him.

                        I Have only scene the City Strike Snake once.... , myself. Still need another for the Boy. Only scene FireFly once too.

                        The $5 price drop is the best thing that's happened to those figures. They were too much $$ at first.
                        Agreed.
                        I picked up a lot of clearanced 25th ann figures at around 5 too.
                        At 5 bucks, you get a lot less picky,.. can build army's and just have fun with the line ingeneral.

                          Same here! I have yet to see him in a store, and I've seen everyone else. We got the City Strike wave before we even got that Kamakura wave, too.

                          Actually, I haven't seen the Nano Viper, that green guy, but I don't really want him.

                          That's why I have an extra Snake Eyes, though.....so I can try to trade him for Kamakura if possible!

                          Oh, and speaking of deals, Target has that exclusive 4-pack playset w/ Snake Eyes, Duke, and a couple of Vipers for $4.98 in the clearance section! They had 3-4 of them today, and I can't believe I didn't snap them up. I'll check back in the morning and probably grab a couple if i can. Can't beat 4 figures for the price of one!!!

                            I dunno if you have A Walgreens ..., But mine are stocked with the newer figures,.. but they don't move, because they are 10.99 a figure,.. however I'd pay that for a Kamakuru ,.. I believe, so I'd get him.

                            I was at target today...,
                            Didn't see anything of personal interest worth a Damn..
                            I'll go to the other 1 tommorrow, before the games.

                              It's an okay figure,the weapons suck. That blowgun and that weird three piece weapon thing that he comes with really mess up his hands to the point he can't hold anything. The one that sucks worse is the one that came after that version with the neon weapons.
