I have a question about a Snake Eyes figure (version 2) that I recently bought at a vintage toy store. When I took a closer look at it when I got home, I noticed that the crotch piece looked different than pretty much every picture of Snake Eyes version 2 that I could find on the Internet. I attached a picture of my figure below. My question is - are there variants for this version of Snake Eyes (specifically in regards to the crotch piece)? Or is this a case of the previous owner Frankensteining the crotch piece from another figure (Quick Kick?) and painting it to match Snake Eye’s color? If so, that sucks. I’d appreciate any help - thanks!

I concur with Mr Hebime. Snake-eyes has two straps on his belt.

Thanks for the responses guys!
It sucks man. I'm bummed about this. The store that I bought it from deals with Joes all the time. They should know better. I thought that since I didn't have a ton of knowledge about Joes (I'm mostly a Transformers guy), that it would be safe buying from them. All I wanted to do was to buy a figure (Snake Eyes - specifically version 2) that I always wanted as a kid but never got. I guess I still have never got that Snake Eyes figure yet... |

If you're not a Joe collector, is it really so important that the figure be 'accurate' so long as the piece still decently fits with him? Did you pay a lot for it?

Yes, it sucks, but understand that the culpability is shared at least somewhat. I'd recommend trying to return it politely, and being prepared to have to grab a waist on eBay if that doesn't work out. Caveat emptor, and all of that rot.
