I’m not a big fan of how Snake Eyes looked in “The Rise of Cobra”. They obviously just used the Devils Due poster image to build the costume. I hate Snake Eyes’ mask having lips! It takes away some of the mystique of the look. I’ve always thought of his mask as a regular ninja mask with a visor over it. You can’t see Stormshadow’s lips through his mask, why should we see Snake Eyes lips? Anyway, being the nearly obsessive/compulsive that I am, I still wanted to see if I could pull off a more movie accurate Snake Eyes than what Hasbro gave us. To start, I obviously changed the lower legs to those of an ROC Cobra Commander. Why in the world were his BDU’s not bloused? This is my other big complaint with the ROC movie costume. It looks kinda dumb! At least Hasbro corrected this on the figure, although the boots were incredibly thick and not movie accurate. So once again, I was shooting for movie accurate and changed them.
Although the lower leg swap is the most obvious, this wasn’t as simple as that. I gave him a working holster and changed the dart launcher thingy on his left arm. At least I think it’s a dart launcher. I really have no idea. All I know is the sculpt sucked, and although a little bulky, my version is closer to the movie look. So those were the obvious changes, but I also did some work to the head. I removed the visor, sanded it’s connection points flat, and sanded the nose and left side of the head a bit. I diminished the “ugh” factor of the nose and lips with a couple of thick coats of paint.

Nice, although I dont like this version of SE.
*WTF did Hasbro use as the basis for some of the figures am not sure myself. I think they more modeled stuff off the ROC game and possibly concept art. |

That's a good custom. I wasn't fond of the RoC Snake Eyes figure, but if they made him more movie accurate I would have bought him. I know that now just by looking at this figure.

Nice improvement. You're right though. That whole sculpt did knda suck. The proportions are off and the face ruined the figure for me. I might have to make one of my own.

If you remove the visor and lightly sand the face you can cover it with green stuff and it looks great. Here are some mods I've done.
