Released late in the line, Snow Storm was a 1993 figure cursed with an environmentally inappropriate color set.
Although the colors were vastly improved on the third version, the orange and yellow of the first is something that Hasbro wouldn't have done before 1987. It's a shame, because the design and sculpt of the figure were spot on. |

I agree with you about the colors, but you've done a great job making sense of the figure. The setting is especially nice here. I didn't own this figure, but would likely have paired him with Arctic Threat Doc as if they were on a medical rescue/research exploration/mission together. Definitely a nice piece here. Thanks for letting us see!

There are several Joes that have orange or red components in their uniforms that register as rescue/medical in nature. Arctic Threat Doc, along with Med Alert, Lifeline, and Ice Storm. This version of Snow Storm would fit in with them perfectly. Good call. |

Outstanding! I love Snow Storm; you may have inspired me to put him to the head of my classified to-do list.

V3 is solid, and I assume you're talking about V1?
I genuinely appreciate when other collectors like the figures/subteams that I don't. It reminds me that there's an entire spectrum of what people embrace. Over time, I've found that my stances on items mellow and I end up embracing them. Quick side note: I'm always baffled when people don't care for the OG13 and early waves. I'm slowly working on a line of Eco Warriors customs, something I never thought I'd do because I didn't like Eco Warriors years ago. But here we are! |
