In YOUR mind there isn't, which is fine.

I like the ninja aspect being something that enhances his core Commando foundation. Just something that edges him above other commandos and Special Forces.
Those first 50 Marvel issues really got it right. The ninja stuff gave Snake Eyes an extra edge and mystique, but he was still grounded as a soldier. .

Has anyone ever come across artwork or custom figures of Storm Shadow, Jinx, Dawn Moreno, etc., reimagined as commandos?

The gripes are unfounded since the "Commando" original outfit figure was already proficient in 12 different forms of unarmed combat fighting systems( karate, kung-fu and jujitsu). Its even stated that he was real good at his job and heck was the best of the best,lol. So believe me kids and fans were treating Snake-Eyes as pretty invincible cept when his Cobra equivalents started appearing, namely Storm Shadow but that would not come until a few years later(1984).
On sunbow all the Joes were overpowered/overthetop gary stus, Snake-Eyes being that would not of stood out from the rest. They never bothered having Snake-Eyes vs Stormshadow, instead they gave us Quick Kick or Spirit,lol. As for mask look, I liked them both. The knight visor is certainly more iconic and signature look.

Tommy in his Vietnam LRRP is pretty close, just his green cammies, his cut-down M-16, some gear and magazines, and his bow & arrow. Always thought it was cool that we got to see the Army side of Storm Shadow, as well.

The upcoming FigZero figure is pretty close to being more military. Just ditch the feudal-era weapons: https://www.bigbadtoystore.com/Produ...Details/171942 |

I wonder why Hasbro Pulse went with the Snake Eyes v3 sword for the upcoming o-ring 2-pack...

Commando. The ninja angle is terrible. The DOD doesn't issue katanas or authorize those for official work in regular military or Tier 1 operators. There is no ninja military occupational specialty either. It was just the rage during the 80's but hasn't really been that interesting in 35 years. The last real ninja movie was Ninja Assassin which I actually liked but the general populace did not. Maybe why SE the movie failed or the fact that they race bent him too and the story was weak. Commando all day everyday....

I like the resolute route where they melded the two together. By the way, anybody else notice that resolute design basically stole their design pretty much 1 to 1 from sigma 6 commando snake eyes?
