Love this guy. Even though all the figures in the line have been some level of great (for the most part), this is the first one that truly brings me back to the six-year-old me whose mom chose Snake Eyes and Scarlett off the shelf for because he was just too overwhelmed to make the choice himself. Hoping the retro Scarlett brings back the same warm fuzzies.
Great review! Detailed without obsessing over minutia, objective without being nitpicky, and concise! I've been looking for a Joe reviewer I can actually enjoy watching, and you just made the top of my list.
ARRRg! He has the arm peg issue :( I was hoping these retro carded figures would escape it. I preordered this off Hasbro and it's slated for June or July or some such. I may try to track one down from wherever it is you guys are all getting these from. I have to admit that I like this version better than the other Commando version...but I still love that Commando version. Historically, it is awesome that he uses the Stalker buck because in the original O-ring days, he was a direct copy of Stalker, just with a different head and cast in plastic. So they're keeping with that tradition.
This looks pretty good, but I reallllllly want the "Resolute" Snake Eyes with Timber that just came out. If anything,I think we need a bag of supressors!! Great Review!
Out of all of the Snake Eyes figures in the _Classified Series_ this is the one that should have came with 👉. What kills me about the card stock for the blister cards is why do each line have different paper weight for the card stock? It seems to me that Hasbro would get a better wholesale price if the card stock weight was uniform company wide.
A lot of reuse from Stalker here (including the pistol, knife and supressor) but I suppose that's sort of fitting considering the vintage toy was...basically just Stalker but in all black with a new head.
Just got mine in from Walmart, I think its the best snake eyes to date and I prefer the ninja look but this body is newer and pinlees. I want to see someone do a dark blue with black shading comic version. Sucks it's a Walmart exclusive.
Buy a new one from Wally World and return the POS that should not have passed QC. I'm dead serious. It's the best way to vote with your wallet and get quality product at the same time. Keep buying and returning until you get a good one. Ultimately, the more returns, the more likely Hasbro is to actually fix their horrible production problems. If Wally World gets a significant number of returns, they will bring it up to Hasbro at contract time, and they buy enough Hasbro product that their opinion matters. Sadly, even Joe super fans aren't spending enough (maybe all of them as a group) to move the needle for Hasbro.

I haven't seen this figure in my area yet. Fingers crossed that I will .... someday lol
A first-rate review of Retro Snake Eyes and his cool accessories!
Cool! I don't own a snake eyes yet but I kind of do like this one✨
Commando Snake-Eyes is the true Snake-Eyes.

I should've skipped the movie version and waited for this one
The movie version isn't horrible though, if it had boot/calf swivel it would be one of the better figures in the line
Great review. I have this ordered but I think it will take a few more months before Walmart ships it out in a plastic shipping bag to me.
Hopefully they learned from the last time
Walmart has my 💰 for him X2 rcb cgX2 and big Ben, hopefully they stock and ship early.
I'm hoping so too! They need to stop these delays
I’ll paint the green, black ; otherwise I got 4 on order . I’m putting a visor head from Toybox customs , “ ninja commando “ Thanks for the review!!
I have had zero luck finding anything at Walmart with the exception of Baronness and Lady Jaye
How do we fix loose joints?
Can't wait to see SE and the 2nd half of this Retro-card wave on the pegs this year

This will be difficult for me to obtain here in NZ
Did you try looking at online sellers?
Hey Bee I was wondering does Dusty's hat fit on the retro snake eyes head? Saw the new desert snake eyes and it uses the retro head.
This snake eyes, baroness, zartan, crimson guard are the only ones I’m getting
Pretty sure the suppressor is made to look like the osprey from silencerco
when is it due to hit Walmart?
I am very disappointed in the new file cards. Where is all the info from the 3.75" figures?
I had to laugh when you showed the place for a name on the stand. What a good idea, that hasbro, yet again wasted.
How are you getting these figures so soon?
