![]() I’m not a gun expert but that look close enough to actual real world weapons to where I’ll say they are, or at least takes on them. ![]() The UZI and pistol from the Special Edition Snake Eyes make a return appearance, along with a pair of extra weapons to make him…extra killy. This time around, Snake Eyes comes with exclusively realistic guns as opposed to the futuristic ones of the previous retail version. Maybe that’s why I almost have to give the edge to V1 goggles Snake Eyes: there’s something even more mysterious about those blacked out goggles than his visor. There’s a lurking aggression in his midnight black action figureness that is cooler than a toy has any right to be. That aside, the figure is, to put it mildly, superfrickinfun. I’ve had to put some oil on a couple figures to loosen them, but now it looks like I might have to go in the other direction to tighten up his leg. It makes getting him into a reliable pose a problem. The right is slightly jiggly too, but nowhere near as bad as the left one, which almost wants to splay outwards when he’s just standing there. The only major issue I have is the loose left hip on mine. This is the foundational Snake Eyes look, and I’m glad we’re getting a representation of it fairly early in the line. It’s hard for me to say what version of Snake Eyes I’m more of a fan of, as that seems to change depending on what’s currently in my eyeline, but there is a strong nostalgic pull towards the one that represents my earliest memories of him, and of dozens of excellent comic stories. The head is the centerpiece, denoting that this is indeed a take on the V1 Commando look, complete with goggles in place of his visor. It’s a shame to have a very well-articulated body with a major articulation point cut off on a lot of these figures, but that’s the trade-off of having to go with reuse. He can still get some twist and bent at the waist with the ball joint there, but the ab crunch is effectively useless, with extremely limited give. The tactical vest is a brand new overlay that unfortunately hinders the articulation in his torso. Not for children under 3 years.The holster that debuted with the initial Snake Eyes returns here, along with the knife sheath, this time without the odd closed off opening that the earlier retail runs had. ⚠️ WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD – Small parts.
