| I don't know what "pattern" will they follow, but this much I know:
If I had to pick just one costume design for Cobra Commander, it'd be the '91 hooded version (later repainted in black for Battle Corps). I just never liked the V1 (battle helmet or hooded) costume as much because it has many elements that, while classic, don't make much sense at all. First of all, those stupid pants that go over his boots. Second, the whole "double-belt" thing. Third, his sigil is on one side, not on the center of his chest. Fourth, that whole hidden gun deal is just dumb.
With the 91 version we finally got a more realistic and regal looking Commander.
And if I had to pick one Snake Eyes version, it would be V2. V1 is as classic as you can get, but he's also too plain and un-original, if you think about it. The only thing that sort of makes you say "ok, that's Snake Eyes" is his mask and goggles, which I never liked either. V2, while much more in the "fantasy" realm, at least is 100 times more recognizable and badass looking. Sure, he's more on the ninja side, but well, let's have Sideshow put some effort into this! Making a SE V1 is a piece of cake :p
