Sideshow Snake Eyes Photo Thread

[Magnuz]

Here's a closer look at mine:

See you want the shape to show the curve down from the peak of the nose to the mouth to the peak of the chin, gives that tight mask silhouette like spider-man or other masked characters have. The base of the visor should be level with the bottom of his nose, like most upper face masks, like robocop/batman etc. Any lower and it's like some big plate covering the middle of his face, and part of his mouth, looks odd.

Fixed mine...but I just slightly lifted his visor up (he'll look weird if I lift his visor any higher)

Visor thing really doesn't bother me and in some of these pics I can't even tell. I'm good with my SS SE

 

[lerath666]

Can't tell any difference with the visor pics either. in related news, his unmasked head arrived today. I'll go do some outside pictures in a few minutes.

Awww dude that is too Fresh! :chew

Great job. You're 100% now. Krauser's head is perfect for an unmasked Snake-Eyes. Have you tried giving him Sunglasses yet to Snake Eyes him up even more?

 

[lerath666]

I probobly will. i stuffed a black balaclava into one of his pouches, I've got a goggles and ballistic mask coming for him as well. I wish I had an extra snake eyes regular head so i could pose him Putting the visor on..

When I get some spare cash, I'll order him some shades regardless.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Hmm. not sure I like that head as Snake Eyes. Too Euro for me.

Agree .

 

[lerath666]

So,,, he looks too white? I don't get it.

 

[ProgMatinee]

Not sure how to explain it. He looks European and not American. The facial structure makes him look like a Russian or a German, maybe because its so angular?

Save for Native Americans, everybody looks European.

Wrong.

 

[thenammagazine]

Wrong.

Last time I checked, pale skin wasn't native to America, but is actually of European origin.

But let's be fair now. How many Americans are wannabe European, incorporating words like "bollocks," "mate," etc., into their everyday speech?

 

[ProgMatinee]

origin.

thats the important word there. maybe 100-200 years ago most Americans of European decent looked Russian, Dutch, Irish etc. But today Americans are generally a mix of many ethnicities especially Spanish and African. Even most purely "white" Americans don't look European. I'm white and I look absolutely nothing like my Slovakian grandparents on my mothers side. The reason? Because my dad is Irish and German.

In movies and cartoons (which is what I'm drawing on since this is GI Joe) there is a noticiable difference between what I see as an "American face" versus a "european face".

Those were still considered European last time I checked.

I think you just need to clarify what you consider to be "American." Is it only white people? Bruce Lee was American, so is Cheech Marin. They don't look white. What about Wesley Snipes? Is he American?
