Just saw the pics of Kwinn from JoeCon and it reminded me of a thought that I had when I saw early pictures of him.
Why didn't they make the Kwinn from issue #2 with all his snow gear? It was his first appearance AND we already have that 25th Snake Eyes from issue #2. It would have made for an awesome pair! Has anyone mentioned this before? I'm stoked they came out with Kwinn, but come on Hasbro, I think you missed a great opportunity. Just saying. |

Yeah, the style of Kwinn we're getting was the better choice.

He's bulkier than SE. Too small of a figure for Kwinn.

Actually, he was a fairly bulky figure. Not that scale and proportions tend to mean too much in this line.
In all reality, I really think the figure was originally planned as Kwinn (even had the necklace!) but Hasbro changed their minds at the last minute to get another Snake Eyes out there. I've been waiting a while for an "Arctic Kwinn" figure to see release as some sort of multipack, comic pack or exclusive, so I was surprised to see Hasbro actually pursue "shorts Kwinn" as a figure, much less a retail figure. I'm REALLY suspecting Arctic Kwinn might end up an SDCC exclusive.
