Here is poll B of the carded figures, covering G-Z. I'm putting Tomax and Xamot together, as that is how they were packaged.
This is a tough choice, for me, but I have to go with the Snow Serpents, here... another one of the best troop builder figures ever made in the line!

Agreed. Snow Serpent gets my vote here. One of my favorite troop builders.

I voted for Ripper out of this group. I do think the Snow Serpent might be a better package and sculpt overall, but I get a lot more usage out of Ripper, whereas Snow Serpents aren't things you can really put in a whole lot of places. The Snow Serpent's such a favorite that it feels like a troll choice to say Ripper, but that's my current feeling anyway.

The Snow Serpent just looked so cool in the package.

SE V2.
This figure might win a poll of any 80s action figure of any line. |

Snake Eyes v2 easily for me.
I do appreciate the Snow Serpent and how well it was sculpted, but dont have a great affinity to it now. I remember some of the others pegwarming a bit in the UK like Shipwreck, Quick Kick and the Dreadnoks that were released over here. |

I always loved Snake Eyes V2 as a kid, and still do. Everything about it is great. Whatever "cool" was in 1985 is embodied in that figure. So, have to go with him, though honorable mention goes to the Crimson Twins. That's one of the few sealed Joe sets I absolutely had to get due to the great and innovative packaging. Plus I very fondly remember getting those as a youngster. Snake Eyes was very hard to find in the stores and I only got one from a friend years later.
I predict Lady Jaye will get no votes. I've often wondered why Hasbro struggled so much with female figures. Baroness was awesome while Scarlett, Cover Girl, Zarana, and Lady Jaye were horrible. |

Lady Jaye wasn't THAT bad.
Baroness had such a marvelous head sculpt though. I really can't think of a 3 3/4 female with a better headsculpt, maybe even 5" too, until the 90s. Even stuff like April had those garbage quality head sculpts. |
