I really like that pose. The way he's bristling with nastiness reminds me of this old Far Side cartoon:

I'm betting that "shoulders back" pose The Mike has him in is the same shoulder position Sideshow used for the Proto pics.
Well, not really, the length of the forearms are disproportionate to a human, so I'd agree with calling them:
arms. 
If you bend the arm up at the elbow, the wrist is actually about 1/4in higher than the shoulder when it should actually be level. When you put the peg in which represents the actual wrist, it's even more apparent. Add to that Snake Eyes' wrist bands and it's time to gear up for some custom drag marks on the knuckles.

Thanks for all the great photos "Mike!" Now I just have the long wait until morning when, barring any disasters, FedEx will arrive with my SE from Monkey Depot. Maybe I will even be the first to have the non exclusive in hand, since MD started shipping today, and I get him in one day!
Cannot wait, still...
Edit: And I will definately be posing him in that threatening pose, arms back. Thanks for the ideas!

First thing i'm gonna try to do is emulate the proto pose as best as i can. webgear off, just to see how that pose was done. odds are, people are correct, it's shoulders back to achieve it.

Great pics Mike! Mine was scheduled for today, but I forgot to ask UPS to hold it for me at their office (requires signature) so I might not be able to get him until tomorrow

Re: sideshow snake eyes photo thread
Thanks for the compliments!
A couple of things to be warned of, the pouches are very fragile, they are nylon materal and so when you slide the additional clips into them the ends can snag and rip it, I did this on two pouches before getting it to slide in carefully, I used the end of a small paintbrush to expand the slot before putting in the clips but one of them has a pretty bad tear that isn't visible when displayed. All of the gear needs to be tightened and it slides upwards and downwards to get right with clips to lock it into place so that was a trying time. It took me about a half an hour to get them all where I wanted them and a couple I couldn't tighten.

Just received my regular from Monkey Depot, and have plenty of time to get him geared up and posed. Thanks alot for the tips on not ripping the pouches. I appreciate that, and will use the "paint brush" technique on them. Like I said, i have plenty of time for this figure today, so I won't rush anything on getting him set up great looking!
Off to play!

are you getting the exclusive from SS? i'm just wondering because I have asked Sideshow if they would let me use the UPS hub at the destination addy so I could go right there and pick it up but they said no because the item is over $100 and they require a signature. that was for a different item but I am expecting the exclusive to be delivered sometime today

Re: sideshow snake eyes photo thread
Got mine in, excellent figure imo. Body is tight, accessories are awesome and overall a very solid figure. I think there is to much stuff for him. I stripped him down and am probably gonna display his very accessory light. Just to much stuff and he looks bulk and unstealthy. I think he should be more stream line for ass kicking. Borrowed my sisters camera and snapped a few really quick pix outside.
More pics to come

I agree! It almost looks like a regular guy in a Snakes Eyes outfit.
