something I have noticed about the Snake Eyes releases since 00 Deluxe. Every release has a snippet of the original 1980s release. if you get them all, you can kit bash the ultimate version. Now, if you want as close to ecaxt on colors, you'll also need Deluxe Zartan. His Snake Eyes head has a gray, not silver visor. With this latest set you get the white wolf and the gray arm pouches and leg pouches. I also feel the Fortnite Snake Eyes is the perfect base body. Then use Zartans's head, the normal classifieds grenade belt, and now this versions arm/leg belts and you finally have accurate color 1980S Snake Eyes. :)
Great video. One question is what color is the visor? In the video does it look like a golden hue or is it a visual deception? I would like it to be silver gray. Just like the rest of the parts that are not black, they look like a golden brown color. That confuses me.
Thank you for this video that compares all published versions of GI Joe's most iconic character. I already own the 02 and 30 and I'm not a fan of this latest edition. I think it's closer to custom and it doesn't offer any added value if you've already bought the Alpha Commando, I really like the gray Timber. On the other hand, if you missed the Alpha Commando, you can easily buy this version to have Timber, which is, from my point of view, an essential piece. I would add that Hasbro makes its molds profitable between Python Patrol, Tiger Forces, Crimson BAT, Viper Pack, Retrocards, which makes it possible to have unreleased titles like Kamakura, Cover Girl, Falcone. Hope Hasbro do Jinx soon.
How would you compare the dark color of the suit to the previous versions? I know Lenny said "muted," but it looks almost blue or dark grey I'm hoping they make a Pyramid of Darkness blue grey ish Snake Eyes, so maybe this will do for now?
I don’t know ,I still haven’t pulled the Trigger on any of the 1985 reminiscent Snake Eyes . I guess I’m waiting for the ultimate perfect release. I just ain’t feeling any of them. I did get the alpha commando set but the new target one looks a lot better to me in reusing stalker body.
Great review, I totally agree I really like the two tones on Snake-Eyes. More Snake-Eyes the better! Does the plastic feel cheaper? Like the retail releases Lady Jaye and the retro Jaye seem to be made with different materials. Thanks awesome video Bee!
@@beesbattlegrounds more expensive with the wolf. I really like the cargo pants look, so even the Fortnight one would be ok. The movie version is everywhere cheap. Not seen it up close tho.
Just one of those "looks good on paper things" probably. Doesn't bother me either way and at least the Classified version is better than the Marvel Legends or the Black Series set ups
It is to hide the figure defects. They show a perfect digital render on the box to fool you. So you won’t know to pass on a Wolverine with bent claws or a figure with paint defects, or two left feet, etc…it’s like a “just in case” bait and switch.
I bought this guy as a replacement for my original 02 Snake Eyes (plus Timber since I didn't buy the first 2-pack) and I'm quite happy with him. Still one of my favorite Classified figures (in any version), even if there have been a few since that original release that I think either come close or surpass it.
Because there are a lot of collectors like me out there who want different versions of him, also the highlight here is the silver visor if you weren't able to get the Fortnite and Exclusive version.
Super Disappointed on the Entire Line. At first, it was just a slap in the face. Then as time went on, I realized that Hasbro DOES NOT care about the real buyers out there, the Fans, the Collectors, the Big Boy Consumer. The sculpts have finally turned a corner, after their marketing disaster of trying to push out kinda sorta modern renditions, get the suckers to buy em, only to do constant redecos and repaints and screw the Fan Collector all over again. What ended the Line for me was the Near UNOBTANIUM Factor. The exclusive after Exclusive after EXCLUSIVE was that FINAL NAIL in the coffin. DOA for me. Bye Bye. I am out on the line. They only reaffirmed why I walked away when they tried to sell you a $50 membership in order to get some, not all of the exclusives because of LOW PRODUCTION Numbers. Can you say FOMO by Design? Mindbender, then Serpentor and now the "Retro" carded Snake Eyes and Crimson Guard are three more PRIME Examples of this continued trend of HEFFN over the People that support the Line. Are they great Figs? Yes, they are. GOOD LUCK Collecting the Line though. So do to Hasbro, what Hasbro has done to you. Give them the MIDDLE FINGER and walk away. Don't buy the line. I did and my wallet thanks me. Now, I just sit back, with my popcorn and laugh at all those that continue to get frustrated by the blue haired leftoid chick that knows SFA all about the Joes, the Lore, the History, the Characters and anything else related to the line and the FACT that they can't get Figure X because it's sold out. This just encourages SCALPERS and continued HIGH PRICES by them, and Hasbro constantly upping the Price Point, because, you the Zombia Fan, the GOTTA BUY IT NO MATTER WHAT Collector will support them. The sooner this Line di ez, the sooner Hasbro will learn some valuable lessons. Don't get me on the RIP OFF Skystriker and the almost HISS has value Haslabs offerings.
@@beesbattlegrounds Correct. No one is forcing me. Just my observations. I enjoy collecting many of the 80s toys I grew up with. Had zero problem with collecting the 25th and 30th Anniversary lines when they came out. Was SUPER Excited when I heard Joe Classifieds, 6 inch, was finally coming. I was perplexed why it took that long though after the 30th, figured they capitalize on the momentum they built and would do a MASSIVE 40th Anniversary Marketing Push for 2022. Was looking forward to the 80s, 25th and 30th lines being represented in 6 inch size. Marvel Legends compatible. It launched in 2020 and it's been nothing but a complete mess and disaster. Thanks for the reply
I like 00 and the Commando versions. This one is great for anyone who missed out on previous versions. The movie figure isn't bad but it's missing shin/boot swivel and that really hurts the figure

Love the way the colors pop on Snake Eyes, and Timber looks fantastic. Can't wait to get this set!
Definitely! It really adds depth to the figure
Great review! Really looking forward to getting this set!
Absolutely next on my list. Been wanting this fig a long time.
It's a fun one!
I really like this set a lot , great review bro
Ordered the first one months ago....found the second at Walmart yesterday
Great video. One question is what color is the visor? In the video does it look like a golden hue or is it a visual deception? I would like it to be silver gray. Just like the rest of the parts that are not black, they look like a golden brown color. That confuses me.
I just ordered this two pack since I found him on sale for $29.99 Great deal for a great set 👍
That is a great deal!
Who do you think would win between snake eyes and bat man 🤔
Due to be shipped by tomorrow. Cannot wait.
Congrats! Can't wait to hear how you like it! It's a fun set, enjoy!
Love how lazy hasbro throws in some alley viper weapons. Real imaginative
Just some reuse to cover the cost of new molding

I'd say he's more grey and green, not much of a blue
Where did you buy the clear stands from? They look hella dope
Neca Display Stands, I have found them at Target near their collectibles

That new Walmart one looks absolutely fantastic
@@beesbattlegrounds oops that’s what I meant Walmart!

He does feel softer than the 00/02 figure
Geez, I hadn't realized they made so many Snake Eyes already. Trying to figure out which I want.
If you can, 00 but the best substitute would be the SE and Timber V2 set (this one)
@@beesbattlegrounds more expensive with the wolf. I really like the cargo pants look, so even the Fortnight one would be ok. The movie version is everywhere cheap. Not seen it up close tho.
Rather see the plastic packaging with slipcase. Don't know how removing the window saves the planet when the box is full of plastic.
Just one of those "looks good on paper things" probably. Doesn't bother me either way and at least the Classified version is better than the Marvel Legends or the Black Series set ups
Single use plastic

Pretty sure people are not paying money to throw away the figures
Snake eyes always have loose waist and ab crunch
I just received mine also

Why would anybody want so many snake eyes versions is beyond me makes no sense
He's one of best known characters, no different than Ironman, Wolverine, Spiderman, or Batman.
Because there are a lot of collectors like me out there who want different versions of him, also the highlight here is the silver visor if you weren't able to get the Fortnite and Exclusive version.
Ross has it on clearance for $11.99.
A repaint for that price, what bs.
Well you get Timber also, so it'd the same as the alpha Commandos 2 pack.
Assault rifle🤦♂️ Should say assault pistol as well. Anything can be an "Assault weapon"
I could just call them all "blasters"

Correct.

What's everyone's favorite snake? Which would you get, if only you could get one?
I like 00 and the Commando versions. This one is great for anyone who missed out on previous versions. The movie figure isn't bad but it's missing shin/boot swivel and that really hurts the figure
@@beesbattlegrounds appreciate your help..
Can only find the 02 Snake and the delux version..
@@terrenceodonnell6347 then this one is right up your alley. The fortnite one goes in and out on Pulse
@@beesbattlegrounds
What's the best ninja version?
Just starting my collecting so any help is much appreciated!
Thanks.
