I started work on this quite a while back. I wanted a modern version of the 1982/1983 Snake Eyes figure, which the 25th version didn’t capture because it was based on the way he looked in the comic books.
I looked around on the web for ideas and found Eduardimus Prime’s version on the Hiss Tank forum. I learned about greenstuff casting from him. That’s how I copied the dynamite and leg pouches from the original figure. The lower legs are from 25th Flash, with some of the length trimmed off and the lower parts resculpted. Since most people don’t like to imagine the commando version of Snake Eyes as a ninja, I just had to be anti-establishment:

Now that is a tribute to the original Snake-Eyes! You have nailed the look and feel of the '82-'83 version. Great job!

I'll be straight up with you: he's a butterface. From the neck down it's killer, but that head doesn't sit right for me. Too squat compared to the rest of him. I also don't thinkthat the headsculpt is up to par without details on the rest of him...
Fix that and you've got one of your greatest SE's yet. Which is saying something because you have made some AMAZING SE figures. More than a few of which I own...

Yeah, what does Jay know anyway! (just kidding, Jay)
Like I've said previously, Gene - I love it! I had totally forgotten that his lower legs looked like that. |

Awesome man! Nice tribute to our favorite ninja commando.
Love what you did with the lower legs. I just used the standard 25th flash legs... love the mods though. Keep us the good work!
