The 1993 Ninja Force Snake Eyes is actually a solid figure. He has a strong design and great colors. And, he has the best Snake Eyes head that Hasbro ever produced. It's just a great look for Snake Eyes that gives him the aura of commando badass as well as fiery ninja. Sadly, the entire figure is hindered by poor articulation. And, that ruins the figure as he can't be posed like a standard Joe.
It's too bad as this Snake Eyes is a great match for other 1992 through 1994 figures. He allows you to use the character in a form that is complementary to his contemporaries. You can really see the care that went into his creation when you pose him among other 1993 figures. His colors blend, accentuate and pop. It's a rare feat and proves that, sometimes, bad action figures can still be really fun collectibles. Check out all the great content on this figure form around the web for more.

I love this figure, and rank him in the top 10 of the 90s window of the vintage line.
ReplyDeleteI remember you posting your article on him the day before I planned on posting mine, and I couldn’t believe it, because it was well before this figure was on the receiving end of any improved reputation
