DISCLAIMER: If you don't like Snake Eyes and/or have something negative to say about another Snake Eyes figure being released, then please just leave this topic now.
I was surprised to see this coming. I thought Hasbro was no longer focused on modern releases of ARAH figure designs. Being that this figure will not hit shelves until wave 4, my fear is that this figure will not make it to retail if the movie bombs... or even worse, will see extremely scarce distribution. With the draw of this figure, I bet scalpers are gonna have a field day with this one. |

I do hope that he does come with a sword and backpack. If not, I'll have to use my custom one I made out of my 1985 SE backpack I guess.

With the draw of this figure, I bet scalpers are gonna have a field day with this one. All five waves of Retaliation will make it to brick & mortars at some point. Many of you are getting the idea that the Retaliation toy line will only be until July when Hasbro usually reboots the brand(again). 2013 is the year for Retaliation, all the way until the Holiday Season. Avengers was the first toy line that got all (four) waves to stores. I think Hasbro has finally figured out that movie toy lines are no different than any other toy line. There is no reason to make huge quantities like they did with Rise of Cobra (specfically the first two waves). Hasbro spends money to make these and I'm pretty sure they want all their product on the pegs. Quote:
Retaliation has a good chance to get G.I. Joe good graces with retailers. It will never be like the 80s but it won't get the complete shaft after the ROC fiasco. The stuff we have seen for Waves 3-5 are guarantee hot sellers. As long as the product continues to sell the stores will keeping ordering.

All it will take is this figure to be packed one per case and a short run at retail and all those claiming they have no intrest in this figure will be crying that they can't find it. I will be laughing the whole time as mine will be doing battle with one of my Renegades Storm Shadows because I had the foresight to buy it from BBTS or Dorksidetoys the figure looks great and I look forward to adding it to my collection.

Oh God! Here we go again! Every time they release a new Snake Eyes figure it's the same damned thing. "ooooh look! He's so dreamy! He's the bestest of the very bestest. He doesn't look the same as the 500,964,765,765 previous Snake Eyes at all. This one is soooo different, he's special, he's the greatest thing Hasbro has ever made! This one will always have a special place in my pants!"
Seriously, do they have a name for whats wrong with GI Joe collectors? |

Snake Eyes looks pretty neat-o. I guess its time for this version to be brought back. Luckily I think the DVD pack is the only 85 Snake Eyes I own so it wont be the worst thing in the world to purchase this figure. The legs are a little scary. I wonder if they are using Marvel Universe parts on GI JOE that sends mixed signals.
Its a little sad to see what 9.99 or 11.99 will get us in the toy world and if Hasbro thinks that they add hip articulation they have sold me another Snake Eyes another thing coming. I am going to test my consumer strength with retaliation. Between the Transformers Fall of Cybertron figures and the brief 9 figure 4 vehicle release with Retaliation I am pretty much done with Hasbro. I am not sure what they are making there toys out of but its all coming up looking mega cheap and flimsy. I am not sure Ultra ultra snake eyes is going to get me off my tractor this time especially when Mosquitor comes straight to the porch ps Granamyr is amazing too and HUGE!!
