This is exactly the video I needed to watch. I’ve been wanting to get the ultimate Snake Eyes but I feel like how you stated at the end. “We still haven’t had the grand slam”. My perfect Snake Eyes would be with gray timber and all black stealth of commando (complete with weapons,swords and backpack).
Glad I could help! Thanks bro! I just got the retro card version and the Fortnite. I’m gonna do a video soon. I’ll tell you now tho the Retro is the best constructed Snake Eyes so far imo. The Fortnite version I got is so wobbly it’s horrible. Smh.
@@HappyPursuits yeah I was out when Fortnite was mentioned 🤣 but the retro one has my attention. Do you mean the one that was version 1 of snake eyes that was available at Walmart mike 2 years ago? I’m
His "scarf" is a serape. Also, the most recent Storm Shadow is the 3rd we've gotten, although you could be forgiven for wanting to forget the Snake Eyes: Origins Spoiled Milk Storm Shadow. Thanks for showing us the new Snake Eyes and Timber, looking forward to getting this set. Can you suggest any sites that might have him in stock?
@@HappyPursuits I Googled them all. It's definitely not a balaclava, and I think it looks most like a serape, which is like a short poncho with fringes on it, but YMMV.
Great comparisons and analysis of the five figures! Question, have you tried swapping any of the heads? I don’t have 00 and was wondering how the silver visor head sculpt on 52 would look on the 02 body.
i really enjoyed this video. i have this set on pre-order and will get it in a week's time. i had ordered it on a whim and was thinking of selling it off the moment i got it because i felt i didn't need another SE figure... but i think you've convinced me to keep it. for the longest time i've always felt that the 00 SE is the grail snake eyes figure. it's going for $100 now so i haven't really picked it up... but after watching your video, you've shown me that the 00 is not all that... it's conpletely lost it's allure for me and i now feel this new 52 is the better figure... thank you once again for your review, i love the comparisons best. i let go of all my other SE figure and just kept the 02. now it looks like i'll be keeping 52 as well. Yo Joe!!!!
Great video. One question is what color is the visor Snake Eyes 52 ? 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.
U scared me, thinking it was a variant from the Walmart & target release Snake Eyes with timber i got confused at the beginning , but now i get it of course it was that exclusive release from Hasbro Pulse thank u@@HappyPursuits
Definitely agree on that take that we haven’t gotten that definitive Snake Eyes yet like Storm Shadow. I really wish they would fix the loose shoulders on these Snake Eyes figures. Maybe one day.
Hello, I was thinking, I'd like to get a highly articulated Snake Eyes to take pictures or videos with. So i typed in "Highly articulated Snake eyes figure" and this video popped up, I thought I was going to have to watch 5-6 different videos then decide like that, but this video did it all for me. I like the plain / basic commando , non Ninja look for Snake eyes, like how he originally looked, and you showed me Snake Eyes 02 & 16 which are pretty close to what I was looking for. Also I watched your Native Squad, that was a really cool video, I may try to create my own. Cool videos man. Now I want to put together an elite A Team of Snake Eyes, Stalker, Spirit & Rock n Roll (if they make one)...hey thats like Dutches squad in Predator. Peace
It's called a balaclava that he's wearing around his neck. Also the clip on the second gun is for that gun. That is where the bullets are chambered from.
What!?! Never in my life would I have come to that conclusion from while it out. I kept looking at it and I was like damn this is so impractical it has to be for the other gun 🤣🤣. Thanks bro! 🤜🤛
The scarf he is wearing is called a Shemagh. This Snake Eyes is just like the Fortnite version Snake Eyes, except with Alley Vioer weapons. mine is coming in a few days, I like all Snake Eyes figures but my 00 Snake Eyes is my favorite
Oh okay thank you! 🤜🤛. I’ve read in the comments Serape and shemagh? Not sure if they’re the same. Really this 52 Snake Eyes is the same as the 00? I’d like to check it out. And thank you for your service brother! 🇺🇸
Nah it’s tight. But tbh I never too the vest off so I actually don’t know for sure. If I can get the vest off easily I’ll check it out and hit you back.
Some people don't count that as being part of the Classified line, although Hasbro released it and it's clearly the same body, so as far as I am concerned it's Classified. Wish I could find one, grumble grumble.
in my mind according to the colors, gear and footwear: 00 snake eyes: industrial missions 02 snake eyes: city missions 30 snake eyes: commando missions 52 snake eyes: desert/jungle/mountain missions fortnite version without the silly accessories and colored granades: elegant presentation for military ceremonies retro card: classic version
I really want one in a commando sweater,similar to the pursuit of cobra line. I do kind of think that snkle eyes is a hard guy to have a definitive figure of because of both his many designs and itenerations and changes. I also think they seem to miss the character core and that he sells toys and just looks cool. He is a commando,hes a soldier and the ninja motif is overdone. Its cool and has lots of marketability for gimmicks. But hes better designs show him as a soldier not a super ninja.
Great take I think you’re onto something with the commando look being more of a focus. I really like when he’s all geared with tons of weapons and stuff
@@HappyPursuits i agree he gets enough stuff for several troops,I always saw him kindof how I saw stalker,in the cartoon Stalker had such a spook/cia vibe. I always liked that style for him. I actually enjoyed storm shadows fights with spirit more than with snake eyes. Id really enjoy doing a team 6 type with other sf covert guys. It would be an interesting way to create and grow the mythos. I understand tbe whole gi joe concept, but want a concerned interesting direction.I also will not stop til theres decent medics ,medic viper( not a weird guy with scalpels on his chest)and a actual badass medic. I do not count lifeline! If i coukd have it my way the gi joe would be a former dreadnok!
The scarf is called a Shemegh Keffiyeh, pronounced, Shehmeg Keffyyah
Ty 🤜🤛.
Still makes me chuckle that Action Force got Hasbro to do removable clips
Those action force figs are solid. I have Slaughter V2. Great figure.

You know what that might be the grand slam Snake Eyes. Makes me wonder if we’ll get a new Snake Eyes around SDCC.
Nice review
Thank you happy Thanksgiving!
Awesome review bro. Not that I needed much motivation to pick up ANYTHING snake eyes but it’s nice to see everything. Thank you!

Oh snap! I even have that Storm Shadow 🤣. Wow talk about a mental block Lolol.
I’ve gotten three names for the Serape…. Shemagh and Balaclava also. Is this accurate? Or are there subtle differences? Idk
@@HappyPursuits I Googled them all. It's definitely not a balaclava, and I think it looks most like a serape, which is like a short poncho with fringes on it, but YMMV.
That's the Storm Shadow my kids can play with.
On the Storm Shadow that’s just the arm band that rotates it’s not an actual forearm rotation if I’m not mistaken.
Hey that’s good thinking I wasn’t sure. I checked though and it’s the actual forearm that swivels. The pieces are molded as one.

@@HappyPursuits oh ok thanks for the info I didn’t even realize that on mine, I thought it was just the arm band

I’ll set up a photo and post it so you can check it out.
...then prepare yourself for version 6 of Snake Eyes to come out in the states this Summer.
🔥🔥
i really enjoyed this video.

@Happy Pursuits Where u get the more brownish paint deco variant one Snake Eyes with timber from what retail store?
That’s the 00 Snake Eyes. It was an exclusive release. I got this one from eBay.
U scared me, thinking it was a variant from the Walmart & target release Snake Eyes with timber i got confused at the beginning , but now i get it of course it was that exclusive release from Hasbro Pulse thank u@@HappyPursuits
i have the brownish paint deco 1 that came with Gray Timber i love that version.
Definitely agree on that take that we haven’t gotten that definitive Snake Eyes yet like Storm Shadow. I really wish they would fix the loose shoulders on these Snake Eyes figures. Maybe one day.
How different is Storm Shadow vs Storm Shadow retro?
I don’t have the retro but from what i understand the retro comes with bare hands instead of white gloves. I’m not sure what else tbh.
Thanks for this. Looks like I'm picking up 02. Looks the best!
🤜🤛
Shemagh, balaclava, and serape. These are the three names for the scarf… so far…
Um....dont forget scarf!
Did you get the Wal mart version?
The retro? Sure did. Best Snake Eyes imo. Got the Fortnite one too. Terrible torso wobble. I mean terrible lol.
Can we please get a 90s era blue with silver paintball mask version?
That will be dope
On sale for $15 at Walmart right now
My favorite snake eyes is the retro snake eyes. This one is cool though.

where did u get that diroama?
From CrashboxCustoms.com

It's called a balaclava that he's wearing around his neck. Also the clip on the second gun is for that gun. That is where the bullets are chambered from.
A balaclava is a face mask. Stalker and this Snake Eyes have serapes.
What!?! Never in my life would I have come to that conclusion from while it out. I kept looking at it and I was like damn this is so impractical it has to be for the other gun 🤣🤣. Thanks bro! 🤜🤛
Oh wow okay. That’s cool to know. Do you know what a shemagh is? Someone in the comments called it that also.
I took the snake eyes 52 custom painted the accents similar to the 00 version. It looks dope
That sounds dope.
The scarf he is wearing is called a Shemagh. This Snake Eyes is just like the Fortnite version Snake Eyes, except with Alley Vioer weapons. mine is coming in a few days, I like all Snake Eyes figures but my 00 Snake Eyes is my favorite

I hope the first edition commando snake eyes doesn’t have the loose joints like these other figures.
Nah it’s tight. But tbh I never too the vest off so I actually don’t know for sure. If I can get the vest off easily I’ll check it out and hit you back.
@@HappyPursuits not second edition, I haven’t seen any problems with him except for his over sized head and neck joint.
I’m referring to the Walmart Retro card release.
@@Taikuken Oh ok that’s a good point. I didn’t think of that one. I’d like to check it out.
I feel like version 02 is the Snake Eyes of all Snake Eyes 👌🏽
I don’t have a ninja snake eyes yet, I think I’ll get 52 and customize it
If you post that photo one day lmk. Sounds like a good custom.
Thank you for this awesome video! I want to grow my Snake Eyes collection but i guess I'll wait on the 00 version. Expensive and loose torso. No like.
Great video
🤜🤛
No FortNite Snake Eyes?
Some people don't count that as being part of the Classified line, although Hasbro released it and it's clearly the same body, so as far as I am concerned it's Classified. Wish I could find one, grumble grumble.
@@AlanDavidDoane check hasbro pulse, they're available again.
Nah not yet. Sort of in the fence bc it’s a Fortnite figure. I’m hearing it’s actually identical to this 52 version tho. Haven’t seen it myself yet.
@Alan Doane no problem! Happy hunting
Removable magazines are always good.
in my mind according to the colors, gear and footwear:
00 snake eyes: industrial missions
02 snake eyes: city missions
30 snake eyes: commando missions
52 snake eyes: desert/jungle/mountain missions
fortnite version without the silly accessories and colored granades: elegant presentation for military ceremonies
retro card: classic version
I like that breakdown. I don’t have the retro in hand yet. I like tor Fortnite but I don’t have it. It def seems more ceremonial. B

The Commando Snake Eyes is definitely a Grand Slam imo.
🤜🤛
Those are alley viper guns
Very cool thank you!
Thank you! 🤜🤛 I haven’t checked those out.
You're only missing the fortnite Snake eyes variant
I think I’ll pick it up one day to check it out. I realized too that I don’t have the retro cardback either. Maybe one day.
Bro I want to purchase snakes eyes toy
And timber
Action figures toy
The version with white Timber is the best so far imo. But I haven’t received the retro card version yet so we’ll see.
Actually 7 including fortnite/classified version and the retro
Fortnite isn’t classified and retro hasn’t shipped yet.
There's also Fortnite snake eyes... and retro commando snake eyes... and desert snake eyes...
Yes true. Not at the time of the making of this video though. Except for Fortnite but that isn’t a Classified numbered figure.
Nah, bro, the Grey on 52 looks better than the brown
Not mad at that.
Still not sure which to get, but with 00 having that lose body.. Only makes sense
Yeah I’d stay away from the 00 at this point bc there’s other options.
