official Sideshow 1:6 Snake Eyes discussion thread (with full photo)

It looks like a necessary thing to give the fabric hood on SSC's a better look rather than a mohawk seam in the middle. Not sure why Hasbro felt it necessary to do it.

 

[EVILFACE]

The seam looks right to me. Those kneepads look a bit high though, need to be lowered to be useful.

 

[DarkArtist81]

Seam looks fine to me. It keeps the fabric from bunching up in the middle, if you only had one seam down the middle... or if you had only a seam in the back it would not flow over the head in a way that would look pleasing to the eye. This way, it's nice and smooth.

 

[Khev]

Oh I don't have any problem with the seams on the SSC SE. I just think its funny that they first appeared on the 25th Hasbro figure and for assumedly completely different reasons.

I love the snake eyes. I ordered it immediately and can't wait till it's in my hands.

Snake Eyes Exclusive Edition Size: 1000

Not a bad size... interested to see how these will do on the secondary market. Joe fans seem to be a pretty loyal bunch.

Ya i agree, I didn't pick the exclusive up but I can see this line being very attractive to joe fans. First figure looks to be a homerun. The ex was kinda lame on this one though.

 

[Memnoch]

So with only 1000 of these what do you guys think my chances are of getting the exclusive from the waitlist?

 

[creature4000]

Pretty good... I might even drop the ex to get the reg from a different retailer.

 

[Khev]

If the exclusive was Timber I'd say good luck. Since its just that punching dagger I'd say your shot at a conversion is pretty high.

 

[creature4000]

There is No way SE will double in Price... ever!

 

[BlakeHall]

Has anyone seen any mention that the mask is removable with a scarred face underneath?

That's still a mystery for now. I think there's a good chance that the mask won't be removable.

 

[EVILFACE]

This figure is a big jump in their general price point.

But usually the first figure in a line, esp one that will probably be popular, is a good one to get.

I say buy two Snake Eyes, wait 6 months, sell the spare, make enough to pay for both. I know some guys who collect this way...

I think he will hold his value well being the first of the line and a popular character. And unless the lines goes deep into the comics for say a LRRP version of Snakes, this maybe the only one of him we get.

Agree.

 

[galactiboy]

If it was removable they would have mentioned that by now as a selling point.

 

[bagelsncheesey]

Exactly what I was thinking.

There's no way there will be a removable mask. Either on him or Cobra Commander. Just not Sideshows or G.I. Joes style.

 

[MANDO]

You might be able to pull the visor off and see his eyes, similar to the Hall of Fame Version, but I'd still doubt that as well. It'd be an interesting detail but not neccessary imo. But I am going to find a decent 1/6 wolf to go with him. Gotta have Timber!
