25th Anniversary Snake Eyes with Timber re-release

Just curious what everyone else thinks about the recent release of Snake Eyes with Timber on the "white logo" card. Anybody else think Hasbro could have went for black on the re-release (instead of the charcoal color), the way with they did with their re-release of Snake Eyes from the firt box set? You'd think that of all the figures they'd try to get perfect, they'd go that extra mile for one of the single most popular figures in the history of GI Joe.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not dissatisfied with the current GI Joe figures. I'm actually lovin' them all. I get every one, for the artwork on the cards as much as anything. And I really liked the Snake Eyes with visor when that figure was released with Wave 1 of the 25th Anniversary line. But I was just wondering, they corrected one Snake Eyes in black, why not the other? Sure, it's a nit pick, but I'm just wondering.

Because they can sell us more of the same mold, slightly repainted down the line somewhere.

Guaranteed that's why.

I wish they'll make the new DVD version of Snake Eyes in black.

I'm thinking when they re-release him in the Hall of Heroes wave, he will be all black.

Yeah, I managed to find a diaper crotch Snake Eyes with Timber last year.

Are the diaper crotch figures worth much?
