It's tough to find things to say about the 1983 Snake Eyes that haven't already been said hundreds of times. He's the most iconic member of the original 13. And, he was one of the most distinctive action figures released during his heyday. Hasbro released at least half a dozen repaints of this mold. And, every iteration of Joe since the vintage line has had a Snake Eyes figure based on this original appearance. Factory custom makers have exploited the mold for dozens of different homages. And, there are foreign variants from Europe, South America and India.
There's more content on this figure out there than is listed below. But, I just went with some of my favorites from recent years. It's tough to imagine that a the majority of the photos of figures like this Snake Eyes are lost to internet history. But, there's enough left to enjoy if you like this look for the character. So, check out the links below and let the creators know you stopped by.

The second photo of yours is tremendous, great stuff the blue sky through the trees really makes it.
ReplyDeleteThis version of Snake Eyes doesn’t get enough credit, it’s a tremendous figure, that no other version really managed to capture.
Agreed!
ReplyDelete2 questions:
Where can I get Red Mask Cobra Trooper , and where can I find that MMS Truck, because, AWESOME
Black Major has made a ton of different red mask Troopers. If you search up Black Major Cobra Trooper on Ebay, you'll probably find some. However, in my opinion, most of the dealers selling them are priced at about double the actual going rate. It just might take you a few months to find them from a standard seller.
DeleteThe truck was sold on Amazon through about 2021/2022. This one was under the Click and Play brand. But, I think it's been sold under a number of different banners. I haven''t seen them sold in several years. But, new production runs under a new label have appeared out of nowhere.
“TANK”(Sorry)
ReplyDeleteLove that MMS tank! Regret not picking one up back when they were available. Haven't checked too much into the third party military toy stuff lately, seems that most of those companies have disappeared.
ReplyDeleteI do like this Snake Eyes but he isn't my favorite, the blandness and no accents of color always bugged me.
