Season 9

*Special thanks to members AxonRey and Hit & Run for helping inspire my "Snake Eyes: Dead Game" build with their own!
Red Snake Eyes needed to be in my collection because red is my favorite color & I don't have Snake Eyes in that color lol. I built this one at the same time as I built the gray/purple "Operation Avalanche" version, but held him back for variety/assortment reasons between releases. This wave is actually filled with all hold over figures for that very reason, as the entire wave was built months ago but kept getting shuffled for more varied assortments or themes within my monthly drops. To finalize my build, I also looked at the Threezero 1/6 figure for further reference.

BIO: When the MTF got wind of WRATH'S secret development facility called the "Red Zone," they sent their one-man army DEAD EYE to investigate. Looking to abandon the facility now that the secret location has been revealed, WRATH sent SAPPER to retrieve their damning evidence of planned mass destruction & weapons development along with his band of INSURGENT TROOPERS. Already heavily guarded by SPECTRAL TROOPERS & CYBER TROOPERS, DEAD EYE'S ninja commando skills will be put to the test, but is there another unknown visitor that could help?

Man I love the execution on this one - great job!

I don’t recognize the gray bandolier that holds the scabbard or visor. Where are they from?

Kudos on Fly Out, Dead Eye, Night Shift, and General Patch! It’s hard to choose a favorite but it might be Night Shift or Fly Out. Your customs are always impressively well thought out.

Great batch. Dead Eye looks fun!

[Flint_rocks]

Dude! General Patch...wow. Hadn't thought about that toy line in ages. General Patch and his troops and Evil Enemies lol. You nailed it brother. That's not an homage that is the figure in modern form and it is perfect. Honestly I may just completely steal that one. At first I was disappointed that there were no Sky Commanders this time and then boom hit me square in the face with a fistful of nostalgia. Any plans to make more from that line? I've considered American Defense and K Mart exclusive Remco knock off Joe line I loved as a kid but haven't made any.

WOW! Thanks for all the replies everyone, it's greatly appreciated!

Thanks boss! Yeah I'm glad that I can even outdo the mighty Snake Eyes for a big fan like yourself with some of my other builds! Ha ha! Wow, that's great! ;-)

Thanks! The visor is a custom cast from the mighty Avac's Lab, the bandolier is Boss Fight, (Naga) shoulder strap in gray.

Sweet! Steal away bro, I always hope to inspire others to build! lol! Don't fret, more Sky Commanders are coming in one of the next 2 drops! Keep in mind that Sky Commanders (like Sunrunners, & two other unreleased SB secret upcoming projects), will always come in FULL waves/drops, & will not be mixed in with my other stuff, so you will either get ALL Sky Commanders or no Sky Commanders in the drops. With that said, I am going so deep with that line, that I have several drops planned out already (20+ figures at the very least) & they will be popping up throughout the year! As for for General Patch, thank you so much! Patch & Destro have been the sleeper hits on social media! I have looked into more of the figure options with that Gen. Patch toy line & it's under further consideration. I did some of the Remco stuff early on in this thread, like "Marine Sam" & "Bazooka Bob," so there is always a chance for more of that kind of stuff from me. ;-)
