G.I. Joe Classified Series: The Chatty Pointless Thread & Performance Art

That was more or less how the "ultimate" Snake Eyes looked from the 1:18 line, and I loved it.

Is that the one that had both 82 and 85 style heads? Because they could do that again here and get me for multiples. They could have me.

Yeah. Snake Eyes 54. I bought and tore up so many of those over the years. Was such a great base body for customs.

Ugh, for real. That is a pretty damned ideal Snake Eyes! But yeah, would be a great base for other stuff.

Let’s go.

Id argue thats kind of the one from the 2 pack with Timber TBH...

You know I keep looking at pics of that new Duke, and I really kind of love it. Its funny how sometime something thats pretty basic, but done well, can really win me over.

I wonder if stuff like a "rugged" Snake Eyes or Scarlet or whatever is in the cards....

Interesting thing for Energon designs is Jinx already cashed out with hers from Scarlett's mini.

Mmmmm “Alpha Commandos” is a reworked v1 S-E design, and has pins.
The other two-pack S-E is a repaint of the Classified v1.
Niether of those, to me, fundamentally represents that artwork. Maybe if Alpha Commandos had a wrinkly, non-“helmet” head with the knight visor, we’d be mostly there, but again: pins.

I don’t think it needs a full-body new sculpt, but it does need a new bespoke head and probably that web gear as well, which they did sculpt years ago in the 3 3/4 line.

Yeah, if they can do something like that art, and include both head styles, it would be so much better than the alpha figures.

In other news, I was talking to my brother in law on the 4th about the Danny McBride Joe movie, and he was SO excited for it. He immediately brought up how much he loved MOTU, so he clearly expects something along those lines as a love letter to the old cartoon he was familiar with. He loves stuff like that but is very removed from any nerd communities, so I tend to take him as a sample of the general audience. Hopefully Danny saw MOTU and has some ideas in that vein since that's what the public may be expecting.
