Hello Fellow "Tankers",
I just wanted to share some pics with you of a giant sized Rise Of Cobra advertisement featuring Snake Eyes that was on the side of a building. The building is located in Brooklyn, NY right off the BQE (Brookyln/Queens Expressway) just before the Tillary street exit if you are traveling southwest. I pass this sign everyday on my way to and way home from work. I've always wanted to take some pics of it and post it up here for you all to see, but since I work the overnight shift I'm always driving by it in the dark. Yesterday on my day off I decided to drive by it in the daytime to get some pics before they take it down. I think that they had a huge Optimus Prime there before Snake Eyes so who knows what they will put up next. There used to be an Iron Man one as well a few buildings away from this one. Unfortunately I never got pics of either of those. To make sure that I could get these pics taken I brought along my friend and fellow "Tanker" RedEyes for the ride so that he could take the pics while I was driving. Big thanks to RedEyes for taking over my Scoop duties with the camera. I hope that the Joes don't replace me if they think that his photog skills are better than mine. By the way if you can't tell from the pics this thing is about 5 stories high and about 1 block long. Now that's one huge Snake Eyes. I hope you enjoy the pics. Oh and if you have any pics like this of huge Rise Of Cobra ads in your area please feel free to share them here as well.

I only saw the movie once so I don't remember if he ever wore that gear or not.

Actually you don't want this thing to cover your house. It would engulf your house and probably the neighbor's house as well.
This ad happened to cover up a warehouse or storage facility. So many of the windows were covered, but I guess they really didn't need them anyways. I've have seen ads this size covering up some residential buildings a few blocks away. There was a huge Pepsi ad covering up the windows on one apartment building where the residents must have gotten sick of trying to look through it. They went so far as to cut holes in it in order to use their windows once again. These banners are similar to the roll down blinds that people usually have suction-cupped to their car windows in order to keep the sunlight out of their children's eyes. They have little pinholes in them so you can still see through them. I'm sure that the residents of these apartments must receive something for their inconvenience because having this thing cover up your windows for weeks must be pretty annoying.

Interestingly enough, there IS artwork of him with the web gear, it was used on the big TRU displays 2 months ago. All of the artwork displayed was packaging art used for the toys, so I think it's likely that we will get that Snake Eyes eventually, maybe even with the tonfa blades from the end. |
