2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

For those of you who don't know about one of ,If not the coolest Snake Eyes figure ever to be released ,do your homework on The Pursuit of Cobra Ninja Commando Snake Eyes.The figure I'm posting about today Is the reissue.Of course this doesn't fall under the "reissues" that mimic vintage figure designs.This Is essentially a reissue of a contemporary action figure. So no,I don't have a problem with that.Funny story though.I used to have the first release of this figure and loved It to death.It was by far my second favorite Snake Eyes figure ever.The first one being v.2 vintage Snake Eyes.I also remember trading It away.I didn't think It would be difficult for me to find another one  If I ever wanted to pick one up again down the road.Yeah right.GI Joe  POC figures pretty much disappeared from store  shelves ,never to be seen again.I don't remember any of them going on clearance either.Man!I was shit out of luck.Not to mention the fact that scalper price

It’s the season to be thankful. Firstly,lets get the obvious out of the way.Of course I'm thankful for my fam and the kids and all that other mushy good stuff.But I'm going to keep this pop culture related.What am I most thankful for as far as childhood brainwashing agents go?Hint- It's a cartoon character. Hint 2 - He is the reason I began collecting action figures again. Hint 3 - Look at the picture below.            What made me want to start collecting action figures as an adult you ask?Easy.Snake Eyes.And even though I had picked up a few vintage Joes before him,Snake Eyes  was always the one I wanted.So there I was ,an adult about to make my childhood dream of obtaining a Snake Eyes figure finally come true!Snake Eyes w/ Timber V.2,released In 1985 would be the first of It's kind to make It onto my, then scant, vintage action figure display. And there would be more after.... Once I  had my fair share of G.I. Joe vintage good

Everybody's tried this one before.Mine will be different because of the brown hair.I had no choice,no yellow paint.Even still,I kinda like a brown haired Snake Eyes.Too many blond Joes. Duke,Rock And Roll,Short Fuze,Beach Head and Low Light just to name a few.That's my justification.What do you guys think?The head's a tad big and I was thinking about whiting out his pupil on the damaged side of his face. " Look away,baby look away ...." Here's another custom  look.This Is his "awe fuck It,I'm going balls out and  maskless" look.I would imagine this to be a future Snakes that has coped with his facial flaw and has taken on a Punisher - like vigilante roll.
