Again, pics first.
So, in comparison to the Wave one Snake Eyes...this one is a masterpiece. This one has some nice detail that doesn't need to be brought out with a wash. The leather shoulder pads are nice, and add a great bit of extra detail. Along with the wave one version, his articulation is balls out. The accessories are finally what he deserves. He has a SMG that is the same mold as the one that came with Cobra Commander but in black. An overall nice figure, but nothing that can't wait until March to get in hand. |

I actually like this one now that I have seen it up close. Could you take a pick with the visor head from the poc commando version? That would let me know if I want it for cirtin or not.

The head sculpt looks much better than the first along with the accessories, but call me crazy, I preferred the wave 1 body sculpt over this one. The first one seems bulkier, and I much prefer the paint scheme. The overall black on this one is just boring and the odd brown neck pad thing isn't really helping.

I need this figure like an organ transplant!
I have been planning for this specific figure ever since the first ToyCon images showed up. It's outrageous that thousands of these are just sitting in a warehouse! A CRIME, I SAY!!!!!!! ATTICA!!!! Last edited by red4; 06-12-2012 at 04:24 AM.. |

I still don't know why Hasbro didn't plan on releasing movie accurate figures in the first wave instead.
They always seem to do this with every movie line they make. They place the most requested figures in later waves which never end up in stores because the stores cancel their orders after they end up with so many peg warmers from the earlier waves. (King Loki from the Thor movie line, and Iron Man 2 movie armored Whiplash figure along with the others from those waves are great examples of this.) Now I know that since this was intended to be a Wave 2 figure it would have probably ended up in stores than if it were a Wave 4 figure, but still it should have been in Wave 1. This is all now a moot point since it's been moved to March 2013 anyways, but still the theory behind it being in Wave 2 instead of Wave 1 is rediculous. In any case this is the Snake Eyes figure I've been waiting for from the movie line ever since the first pics of his outfit from Retaliation was released. I love the figure's sculpt, but I'm not sure if I like the brown on his shoulder's. If they are brown leather in the movie fine, but I would rather see them in black. The same goes with the grips on the handles of his swords. I'm not liking the beige color. I rather that they were black as well. Also I'm not sure if I'm liking the rifle case backpack with sword sheath thing they have going on there, but if it's movie accurate I'll deal with it. All in all I really looking forward to this figure and I hope Hasbro will give us a nice Storm Shadow to go along with him. I would also love to see a movie accurate Cobra Commander based off of that recent pic of him from Retaliation which has been floating around here lately.
