This is the only 6 inch Joe I own. There is so much good about it. The sculpting, the poseability,the homage to the original.... I am very impressed with Classified. If I had the space, money, and if they sold them in my city, I'd probably buy many figures.
I'm voting 8 because there are too many little things that keep it from being a 10: -he should have a removable knife on his webgear, the extra knife on his leg, while cool, is redundant. To stay true to the original, they should have made it a dynamite bundle -as mentioned above, the silencer droops -his uzi is a bit of a lazy sculpt, lacking some crucial details that smaller 1/18 sculpts have gotten right -his right wrist articulation should be an up/down pivot instead of side to side to better facilitate poses holding his gun -his head is about 5% too small -I usually don't care for extra hands, but man, he REALLY needed to come with a left hand that points! If I could, I would have voted 8.9! |

Hmmm...Cobra Commander has a black left hand that points. Should be close enough to fudge it...
My only criticism is that I hate the ugly square suppressor that the pistol comes with. It was a no-brainer for me: swapped the holster and its contents with the AC Snake Eyes. This way the suppressor is compatible with the uzi too. |

I give it a 10 because this is probably as good as a Hasbro Classified figure can get.
Realistically, anything better would be an 11 or a 12. It probably will never happen in my lifetime given what we know about the Hasbro Half Ass.

10. The only way this figure could be better is if he had stirrup pants and a block of C4 strapped to his leg, but I'm not going to penalize him for that.
I thought it made sense in Snake Eyes' case.

I would have liked a metallic sheen, at least, so it looks like black metal and not plastic.

TBH, if this and Retro SS had come out when I started collecting again about 12 years ago, I would have stopped with them two and been happy with my collection. 10 from me.

I gave him an 8. I really appreciate them using the Stalker buck and that's the better body than the commando Snake Eyes/Beachhead buck. I know he's a retro Snake Eyes and is supposed to emulate the original 83 as much as possible, but had to reduce at least 1 if not both the points due to the fact I actually like the Commando Snake Eyes head more and the fact they don't use the same ball peg annoys me. I'm glad I got him and like it better than the commando Snake Eyes, which I'm comparing him against (for better or worse). I do really enjoy the extra grenades he comes with and his explosives pouch. It's a really great figure, but just not a 9 or 10 in my opinion.

Minor QC issues on my figure. Otherwise, he is exceptional. I gave him a 9
