It's part of wave 2, and won't be in stores until next year. The only way to get it now is to buy it on ebay from Viperskingdom.

meh, I'm Snake-Eyes'd to death, I have one for each of my shelves and then some, nowhere to display any more, you might as well have shown me a new Duke or CC figure...I do love that it's on a Recondo stand though...considering that hasbro took their budget for stands and spent it on stupid oversized neon missile launchers...

The best part? The sheath is molded correctly, where the sword rests with the cutting edge up over the right shoulder. Almost all the modern Snake Eyes have had the sword facing the wrong direction, necessitating that it be drawn over the left shoulder to be correct.
I can't wait to get this Snake Eyes! |

Mine arrived from Viperskingdom today. It's the best Snake Eyes figure I've ever seen. I know a lot of folks are really high on the POC Snake Eyes but in my opinion this one blows it away.
The neck is not set too high as some have feared, and the legs aren't too skinny. It looks like he is wearing tight pants. The headsculpt is phenomenal with excellent paint apps- I don't know why you'd even consider the Zartan head over this one. The articulation is tight and abundant. The accessories are great- two swords but only one scabbard (think of it as an extra sword instead of a missing scabard!), two knives identical to Joe Trooper's more intimidating knife, and the smaller pistol from that figure as well. The backpack is really cool and looks like it could contain a disassembled rifle. The belt is great, featuring a holster for the pistol and a sheath for one of the knives, but tends to ride up like the belt on the Resolute Snake Eyes figure. The figure is very dark and difficult to photograph. Overall this figure is excellent and I'd rather pay the inflated price on an overseas auction than have to wait until March to own it. It will definitely replace whichever Snake Eyes figure you currently think is the best one. Last edited by Qwerty123; 06-09-2012 at 06:01 PM.. Reason: grammar |

Viperskingdom is only auctioning them. So not only is he fucking Hasbro, but he's fucking us too.

That's a poor attitude. Just because he's doing auctions instead of Buy It Now sales doesn't mean he's fucking anybody. Any of us would do the same thing- he's cashing in while demand is high. If you don't want to wait until March for the figures from wave 2 then you have to win the auction, that's just the way it is. I paid $28 plus shipping for this figure and I think it's well worth that. I wouldn't be surprised to see these auctions get up to $50 or even higher, now that word is out that the later waves are delayed until next spring. Even if he did sell the figs as Buy It Now sales he could probably price them all at $50 and they'd still sell.

I payed $12 for mine guess I was lucky but I have to be honest its just a figure its not worth more then 3 figures at this point. Specially because this figure will be out other you can doubt but not this one.

Good point but I still think this fig is well worth the extra $. There's an auction for it right now with just over a day left and it's up to $36, so there are a lot of folks out there who are willing to pay a premium to own this figure now. I mean, I'm probably the only person in Florida who owns this figure! You're probably the only one in Portugal who owns it!
