Taking A Look At Snake Eyes V.37 !

This Snake Eyes figure has been on my want list for too long and thanks to Brothermidnight , I can cross It off the list.


What a lot of pictures fail to convey are the purple accents on this Snake Eyes  figure. They are subtle but noticeable. I like It . It gives It more of a comic book feel. In fact,up until the Retaliation Ultimate Snake Eyes released , this was the go to Snake Eyes for most collectors looking for a solid modern representation of  the beloved 1985  version. Lets compare the two and see how they both stack up to old V.2 Snake Eyes!



The obvious difference between the two is size. The Ultimate version Is a lot taller than the 25th Ann. version. It's  also a lot shinier . 


25th Ann. Snake Eyes/ Ultimate Snake Eyes

As far as head sculpts go,I think the 25th Ann. Snake Eyes beats the Ultimate version. It's way more accurate . 


Looking at both modern Snake Eyes figures next to the vintage and you would probably think that the 25th. Ann. version Is the better representation.  Scale wise ,yes, but there are two items missing from the modern 25th Ann. figure that the vintage figure has. Can you tell? Vintage Snake's has a gun molded onto his left leg and a knife on his right leg. Ultimate Snake Eyes got It right and then some as both the gun and knife are removable. Also, the bandoleer on the Ultimate version looks a little more like the one vintage Snake Eyes Is sporting. Which one do you guys think looks closest to the vintage figure?

    Snake Eyes will always be cool. Liked it better when he was a commando, and not a ninja, but the backstory was really neat.

Go! Games and Toys

The other day ,my better half and I had the chance to traverse our local mall early In the day.I hate going to malls at peak hours or on the weekends.The crowds are just too damn cool for me.Long story short,our mall now has a toy store! I couldn't believe my eyes.From a far It looked like It was going to be some artsy fartsy place with educational toys ,wooden blocks and model kits,but no!This place had pretty much everything collectors go for nowadays.The name of the store Is "Go!,Toys and Games" and I can honestly say that I've never heard of It before.Everything was a dollar or two extra ,but that's not too bad considering how ridiculously expensive modern toys are In hobby and toy shops these days.I really hope this place sticks around. There Is a nice mix of everything.Marvel Legends,Star Wars  to blind bags to Funko figs.On top of that there are tons of board games   and books. WTF? Yes! 3 3/4 Marvel Legends!!!!!Not alot thou

A GI Joe Post That's Not Classified

Image
As much as I love the Classified line of Joe figures, I feel like there's other Joe stuff out there that deserve a little bit of that spotlight.   Pictured are two custom cardback figure protectors and four Diamond Select 💎  GI Joe figures.   I'd been looking for a way to protect my stashed 3.75  o-ring Joe's when I came across these online. I picked up William Perry's and Snake Eyes protectors and will be adding more as they are made available.   These are unpunched, clean and professional looking cardbacks that feature vintage artwork  on the front and file card on the back.  Diamond Select just doesn't get the props they deserve in my opinion. As much as I dig  their Marvel Minimates line, these Joe Minimates are equally cool! I'm not even sure I want to open these guys up. I mean I want to, but would hate to.
