I'm curious for those who have tried it, which body would work best for making the Joes into Arctic Joes, meaning does it work better to put the Joe to be modified's head onto the Snow Job body, or the Snake Eyes/Snow Serpent body? The arctic set has inspired me, but it's hard to have a fight between multiple Chilly Cobras and two Joes. Any thoughts, or if anyone has photos that would be awesome. Thanks in advance for any input!! |

I think the parka SE makes for better all around Joes wearing coats and the Snow Job body for alpine skiing type stuff.
So a mix of each would be my suggestion. Not much help, eh? Hahaa

| | Cobra Soldier Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: SmithVegas Posts: 47 | Awesome, thanks!! I asked because I bought an extra Armored Cobra Commander to put a Fred head on and it doesn't really fit that well, so I figured I would run it past you guys before dropping a hefty sum on them. Personally I think I prefer the Arctic Snake Eyes body for Joes, so it makes Snow Job seem more unique as he's the only full time Snow related Joe we've gotten so far. Is it a bummer to you guys that we're getting the Arctic Scrap Iron before the normal one or is it just me? |

His head on snowjob body fits great and can even wear the goggles from SJ. Third one is SE but not Parka. I used the Snake Eyes head from the TRU 5 pack (SE vs. Red Ninjas) and Snowjob body. On the Cobra side I have 4 snow serpents, and I'm getting the BBTS 7 pack. I converted Major Bludd head to Snow serpent body to make Arctic Major Bludd. Also, just did Bazooka on snowjob body, goggles alot more snug but once I got them on Bazooka looks great.

Of course, Stalker would need the neck painted, if you're really picky. I like the Arctic Snake Eyes body a lot better, but I wish it were a more arctic color. I'm not up for painting them yet. But I have a bunch of Snow Job bodies I purchased just for this. The arctic figures were always my favorite. |
