DISCLAIMER: If you don't like Snake Eyes and/or have something negative to say about another Snake Eyes figure being released, then please just leave this topic now. I simply don't wish to waste time with whiners, trolls, or people being jerks just for the sake of being a jerk.
I was surprised to see this coming. I thought Hasbro was no longer focused on modern releases of ARAH figure designs. Being that this figure will not hit shelves until wave 4, my fear is that this figure will not make it to retail if the movie bombs... or even worse, will see extremely scarce distribution. With the draw of this figure, I bet scalpers are gonna have a field day with this one.
Before adding a quick reply to say "Nu-uh! POC was the ULTIMATE Snake Eyes!" Realize that no matter which one we perceive as the ultimate SE for our individual collections, Hasbro deemed this one the ultimate Snake Eyes, so I titled the topic accordingly. See the pic below.
I personally have always wanted a modern version of this Snake Eyes that is accurate to the 1985 card art., not the 85 figure. This one is a near perfect representation. Here is the ’85 card art:
For those who think this isn’t much different than the 25th versions, here they are side by side: (25th single card, Retaliation ultimate, 2009 5 pack)
For those who cannot see the differences between the new version and the 25th figures:
1) Much better head sculpt including 1985 accurate visor, a VAST improvement over both older versions, especially the five pack version
2) working holster
3) working knife sheath (and it isn't HUGE)
4) Seriously improved bandoleer (over 5 pack version)
5) Correct footwear sculpt
6) Ankle pouches (instead of house arrest bands or none at all)
7) Improved wrist articulation
8) Improved ankle articulation
9) Improved dart launcher sculpt
10) Less bulky bicep pouch sculpt
12) Added clothing details (seems, etc)
