Those two aren't bad consolation prizes! I have both of them myself. V4 was my favorite as a kid. V2 is obviously the best Snake Eyes ever made but I just never had an interest in having him in my collection.

The v3 is pretty awesome, I love the blowgun and three part staff accessories. I stopped getting joes around 87-88 so I missed this one, but I'm sure I would have bought it. The v4 looks cool but the bright colored accessories hurt my eyes. I had a v2 when I was a kid, so I need one. If I can win an auction for under $80 I will be happy. Otherwise, I'm not paying $150+ for a buy it now no thank you. The v1 I will obtain eventually, but it can wait.

Picked these up yesterday. All in good shape, though I need to straighten out those Tomahawk rotors.

I tried that but didn't have much success. A couple of the rotors came out straighter, but the ones that were most warped seemed kind of hopeless.
What I did then was attach some very thin brass rods to the underside of each rotor using museum putty. It's noticeable if you look from below, but still looks much better than the warped rotors. Should be easily removable later. Last edited by Josh Z; 05-03-2021 at 01:17 PM.. |

Really nice vehicle lot. Again, I'm a sucker for the helicopters, and seeing the Tomahawk makes me want one badly lol. They had a complete one with box and Lift ticket with mic at my local toy shop but they wanted a fortune for it($250-good lord).

The seller was asking $125 but I talked him into $150 for the trio of vehicles seen above. Felt I did pretty well. Sadly, I missed out on a nearly complete Whale he sold earlier. The Tomahawk is a very cool vehicle, but the size of the rotors make it very hard to find a place to display it in my room. I'm not loving the spot I put it in temporarily. I may eventually have to hang it from the ceiling, but I don't really want to put any more holes in my ceiling. |
