Do we actually need a new Snake Eyes V2?
The original Classified figure still holds up and is basically the V2 look. It also doesn't stick out as much as the older Scarlett and Duke figures.

Question on the pencil boxes everyone seems to be using for storage.
Does Michael's consistently make those from year to year? I know A LOT of their storage boxes they have made for years. I use some boxes from Michael's for my smaller Joes and they have been making them for at yeas 6-7 years at this point. Just wondering if we should all buy a ton of them to future proof ourselves. haha

That's the combo that I've been predicting for a while. I kind of hope they spring for some new tooling, though (hey, if Duke and Scarlett are so privileged...). Snake Eyes was usually drawn as being pretty broad-shouldered and heavily muscled in his v2 outfit, and it would be kind of weird if he ended up having more svelte thighs than Scarlett does. XD
Needed or not, I think it's inevitable. I do like the wave 1, but it's very modern with a lot of padding and seam lines, whereas the original design is basically a spandex superhero suit |

Luckily I've never had to use their Customer Service so in that regard I'd say it was great.

I mean yeah it's inevitable because its the most popular look for the character, but I never really got a sense that there was a pressing need in the fandom for one like Scarlett or Duke.
V2 Snake Eyes is kind of in the Destro zone where the first figure is close enough and the Retro for that kinda sat around.

People keep bringing it up so I guess it's needed.

Alpha Commando was "close enough" to v1, but the first retro Snake Eyes sold through quickly. I think there's an appetite for a v2 on card too. He's the most popular character from the franchise, and v2 is the look most people think of for him.

Some people like to claim the need for a V2 Snake Eyes but to me it is like one of those Spot the Difference puzzles where you are shown the same thing with minor changes and are supposed to circle the small differences.
In this case something to do with his visor and his boots I think.. it is all a bit vague what these supposed differences are. Now if people were saying they needed him for reasons I understand like the pinned limbs, the weapons load out or something maybe I'd get it but I a struggling to see what about Snake Eyes is lass like Version 2 than say Major Bludd is like Major Bludd... I wouldn't see the point of making him with a less primitive are either. Ok so people want him.. but why, what about him wouldn't be a waste of a slot and essentially yet another release of the same exact basic black commando ninja looking thing "again". Do I want another Snake Eyes.. maybe but he's very very very far from and essential need.. yoink a visored head off another figure and stick it on the retro to make a Version one...and "make due" or go buy the One 12 version. But if you really really feel it is some great need lets hope people agree with you and such a Snake Eyes doesn't become another Lady Jaye. Hasbro like their reissues though so I will say it seems not the least bit unlikely they might just release the low numbered figure again as is. People have different tastes though, the whole Cobra Trooper / Viper situation proves that for sure. |
