FYI. This Retro figure and accessories are a re-re-release of the 2011 Pursuit of Cobra Snake Eyes, which is considered by many Joe fans to be the best version of a 4" Snake Eyes. Please note he is a modern era figure which is actually a 4" size line, and not 3 3/4". Many fans are scratching their head in that Hasbro did not give the figure his commando head, even though the card are shows the commando head. The 2011 version had both the commando head and Ninja head. Please note that this figure was released a 2nd time in 2016 too. It's a great figure though, and I hope it sparks a new core of Joe fans.
He is the main dude for sure!!! And ur right, these figures are almost nonexistent it seems at any Walmart’s anywhere near where I live. The Striker vehicle as well!!
If they are coloring the swords for the 3" figures, they should be doing that with the 6" Classified series. I don't understand. I don't know my swords, but black swords don't seem realistic. I prefer shiny silver blades. This is a nice figure. But that design of the chest knife does not work. I do hope to see the day when they can do the knife properly as well as the individual grenades. It might be easier to do with the 6" scale.
Haha. I hear ya. I’m so torn on the open/moc debate for these. Hoping I can find another to keep on card. They just display amazing on that retro card.
@@ManCaveCollectibleReviews Isn't that a story in one of the Toy Story movies? Hahaha.. Toys that are never played? Or the evil collectors that keep toys in their original packages depriving them of their true purpose -to build happy memories? I might get a few thousands if I never played with my toys in my whole life, but the hours of fun and imagination are priceless. Life is too short just thinking about $$$$.
I cannot find these anywhere but the secondary market, and I refuse to pay twice the retail price for them. I really dislike the store exclusive thing.. makes things way too scarce!
Question for you I got the white ranger lightning collection from bbts. When I got it so many QC issues in helmet paint including eyes not painted. What is your experience with returns or them sending replacement parts?
I preordered all 3 as well 1st day and I also received a cancelation email for my Strom Shadow. Luckily I did find this wave at my Walmart last month but I was waiting on my preorders to open the set cause I figure my orders will be delivered damaged lol.
Geez. So they just mass cancelled Storm. That really sucks. Looks like I’m headed to eBay or Mercari for that guy. Lol. I hope Roadblock and Destro preorders hang in there.
Ultracarterzilla would love to get his hands on this snake eyes figure as he would use him for his G.I. Joe alien predator crossover display.

I fully agree. Any figure over the $20 price point should have some type of paint on weapons.
I think i love destro and roadblock over snake eyes and storm with this line..
Brings back memories.
Lots!!! Memories of destroying them in a sandbox.
Oh man now I really want to open mine 😬😅

This is fact! Well said.
Is it playable or more like display?
Both.

BBTS has always been good about swapping out defected or damaged items for me! Shoot their customer service an email!! It’s on their website.

Unfortunately, this toy is not sold in japan... I’ll use eBay.
