The paint aps are minimal light/baby blue lines on the lower legs and a symbol on his chest. The skin color is good though and the picked out eyebrows nice.

The grey is a plus in my book. Will be easier to kitbash with the figure. There are not many stark black clad Joes other than SE.

I finally received the Snake Eyes I purchased off eBay yesterday. I have to say I was impressed. The joints are all nice and tight, paint apps are nice and crisp. Figure is not gray like the photos posted before looked. More of a flat black. The figure pops with the gray and silver touches. One item of note my commando head fits loose on the neck ball. Hasbro must have changed the ball size for some reason. I tried the clear nail polish trick and it tightened the head up nicely. Next had to fix the long straps, so after a little cutting and some glue my Snake Eyes is looking bad ass and ready to put down some cobra's. Looking forward to picking up Storm Shadow and the Bareness to see what the paint apps look like in person. Figures crossed Duke (firefly body with the right color deco's please Hasbro), Scarlet, and Roadblock are down well. I hope this line is only the beginning and we get to some troop builders and concept case figures in a much wider release.

Saw a nearly empty display yesterday. Just 2 Snake Eyes left. I was very impressed by then figure in hand.
But the card was terribly thin. I noticed the same thing on the MOTU retro figs |

You guys think the paint apps on these figures are better than the 50th versionS? Should these replace those figures in the cabinet?

I've seen the card quality mentioned a few times, and I'm personally ok with that- if the cost saving measures are applied to the packaging and not the figure (yes, I know- rereleases), then 👍.

As an aside- with all of the side by sides I've seen of these figures, it looks as though the overall mold quality is superior to (or at least cleaner than ) the original issues- anyone with both care to chime in?
And how does the plastic quality compare to the 50th releases?

Did you shorten the straps? I'm thinking of shortening the straps on mine and swapping out the "Ninja-visor" head for the "Commando" head or an MTF Balaclava. Jason |

I haven't compared the Storm Shadow figures yet, but I'd be willing to bet that the "retro" figures will replace the 50th figures in my collection -- I know Snake Eyes and Baroness will. Jason |
