danth Posted February 29 Posted February 29 Beachhead is looking decent but his balaclava suffers from tighty-whities syndrome. Surprised he doesn't come with a red beret. Snow Serpent is okay but the helmet doesn't have the earmuffs (or whatever they were) that gave it its definitive shape. And no AK? Doesn't matter because I'm not buying Classified. Quote
sh9000 Posted February 29 Author Posted February 29 Ordered the Cobra HISS Techno-Viper & HMS and Dreadnok Torch. Quote
Big s Posted February 29 Posted February 29 The Eels were some of my favorites as a kid. I remember taking over the kitchen sink many times with those guys. Quote
Roy Focker Posted March 31 Posted March 31 Eel and Snow Serpent looks the same as the earlier release to me. Quote
sh9000 Posted March 31 Author Posted March 31 Eels were difficult to acquire on Amazon for retail price. Also can't beat awesome retro packaging. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted March 31 Posted March 31 The new/retro Snow Serpents have a notably brighter shade of blue, the original Classified (boxed) release use an almost navy blue. I suspect they are also a different shade of white. (plus all the gear/kit being different--no bazooka, no bazooka-backpack, etc) The Eels are 99% identical. I think the only change is the strap on the not-a-speargun is blue instead of red. Figure itself identical or so close you can't tell from pics. Quote
sh9000 Posted April 1 Author Posted April 1 The differences of the figures are the colors. The Retro Cobra Eel has a lighter skin tone and a Cobra sign on the back of the gear. Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 1 Posted April 1 I guess that reveals how often I look at the back of my Eel, I didn't notice the different logo at all... Quote
David Hingtgen Posted April 5 Posted April 5 Apparently the retro Eel uses a brighter red. Will need a side-by-side though. Quote
Axelay Posted April 28 Posted April 28 For some reason, the thought of Ryu trying to fly something like this amuses me to no end. He really looks like he's pissed off making the attempt. 🤣 Quote

IIRC Storm Shadow gets that outfit in the Marvel comics when Baroness was blaming Snake Eyes for killing her brother in Viet Nam. So she kidnaps him and had him tortured in the Cobra embassy. Snake Eyes also gets a new outfit, from the bodies of his 3 torturers, at the end of the 3 issue arc. This was my first SS toy so I'm getting it. Quote

I like to think that '89 Snake Eyes looked so much like an S&M dude in a gimp suit that Hama had to explain it in the comics. Quote
