I want to make a wall hanging Diorama that is basically an homage to the cover of issue 21. The idea is that it would be Snake-eyes scalling upward a wall with like a ledge about 12 inches up from him (so say 18 feet at scale) with 2 cobra troopers and or officers shooting down at him. I have the right version of Snake-Eyes MIP but its the crappy canadian card, is it worth holding on to that one and waiting for a regular carded or loose one to come available and use it instead? I personally think the bilingual cards are horrible but at the local walmart where I get my figs half come on regular cards and half come on multilingual cards that are just generic with stickers and file cards folded up inside the package. Worth Anything? I doubt it but confirm.
Also this is gonna be the first time Ive actually opened a modern figure and I have 24 single carded and comic pack. If you were going to open a first figure out of whats available would it be this one to be impressed or another one? |

If you are paranoid about these things being worth any money, then buy 1 to display and buy 1 to keep MOC. Besides, some of these figures are way too cool to keep bottled up. For example: Beachhead Torpedo Snake Eyes Cobra Officer Cobra Trooper Snow Serpent Firefly BAT |

Open that Snake Eyes figure up! Ideal way to open him is with an exacto knife or boxcutter. Trim along where the plastic bubble meets the card, but don't cut the card with the knife. This way, you remove the plastic bubble from the card without actually tearing or cutting the card. As for Snake Eyes, he is an awesome figure, I love the satchel charge labled "Explosives" myself. |

Canadian Carded BAT sounds like it may be worth some $$$. But, I could be wrong. |

Here's my Marvel #21 shelf.
The one thing about SE is he is guaranteed to be re-issued over and over and over. |
