What if Snake Eyes wasn't black.. what if he was a green joe, or maybe a tan joe, or maybe he would have been an orange joe like the color of Flash's suit?
what would our joe world be like today? would the franchise be remotely as successful? or would orange commando have been the troubling downslide that doomed the line? what if? what if... hasbro had not run out of paint.

Black is a paint... I think plastic is a greyish colour normally.

wow guys... really?
common fact: Vintage/modern Snake Eyes was one of the original figures created for the 3 3⁄4" G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero toy line in 1982.[7] He shared many parts with other figures of that series, except for his unique head sculpt. He was actually created to save Hasbro money in the paint application process, as his first figure was made of black plastic with no paint applied for details. Even his head did not require any detail because of the mask.[8] The "Version 2" (or V2) released in 1985, packaged with his wolf Timber,[9] remains one of the most popular figures among collectors.[citation needed] A third version of Snake Eyes was released in 1989,[10] and a fourth version in 1991.[11]

I think a white commando would have been unaffective...
... unless he were a polar commando. imagine if every incarnation of Snake Eyes afterward had him in an arctic theme, if he were the earliest snow trooper of the team, the Snow Job of his day.. that would have been craaa-zy!

What if you were not dropped on your head as a child? Would we still be having this conversation?

He would have had a blue mask, green top, and camo pants, likely as seen here: YOJOE.COM | G.I.Joe Stickers - 1983 At least, that's the theory that has been passing around the collector community for years. |
