I think it's pretty cool that Hasbro is still using the DDP sword design all these years later. It's canon!

I could get behind that. I didn't know the name of the 1985 sword but my assumption was that it was the inspiration for the DDP one. If the 85 was this specific then that's even better.

It says that the blade is made of ABS, or Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene, the same material which Lego blocks are made with.

1985 Snake Eyes's is a very elegant, sleek example of the type, with some really graceful lines that suggest an excellent weight and balance to the blade (the DDP version, by contrast, is just a mess), and it's interesting that Snake Eyes ended up with a medieval European type of sword rather than a katana. Like his grilled visor, it's somewhat evocative of a medieval knight, and makes me think that there was some very deliberate intent behind the "like a ninja but not quite a ninja" design of Snake Eyes' 1985 costume. |
