The HAS set has largely disappeared from the collecting conscience. Part of that is just due to the late release date and collector malaise at the time. That left the set as a clearanced out dud. Few collectors bothered to stockpile extras...even at closeout prices. So, today, few people have the figures from the set. And, it's kind of pain to find loose samples when you're out and about. Despite the set being one of Hasbro's worst efforts, the reality is that Snake Eyes and Roadblock are pretty good figures. It might be blasphemous to suggest that this is the best paint job on the 1991 Snake Eyes mold. But, I'll argue that point.
I often use the figure just because he's so obscure. But, he's also solid and tends to get people talking a bit about him. There isn't a lot of content on him out there, though. Even back in 2005, few people bother to really review the entire HAS set because the Joe world was so dead after the "Hiatus" announcement. So, check out what little I could find on the figure and enjoy one of those weird "end of the line" oddities who's a surprisingly quality release.
