SNAKE EYES (commando): **** (4 out of 5)
One of the best 25th figures for the original run is revisited here with an even BLACKER color scheme than the Wave 5 (black) single version. To achieve this effect an overall darker black was used for the plastic of the figure. Other slight changes that were made are black glossy goggles vs. the charcoal of the w5 version. Darker web gear with the HoH versions satchel having explosives written on it in yellow & the draw strings are army green. The HoH version's grenade is a charcoal color vs. the flat black on the w5 version. The weapons (same as the w5 version) uzi pistol & knife also seem to be made of ever so slightly darker plastic. Like the other HoH figures he comes with the HoH specific gold stand. So unlike some of the other offerings in HoH, this figure is not packaged with anything additional… Ultimately this is the blackest SE yet, put if you have the w5 version, this update is not necessary unless you are a completionist or a Snake Eyes enthusiast.
