This evergreen line of Snake Eyes movie figures have been on my radar for a while now. Not sure if I'll get into them or not. Looking forward to getting up close and personal with them and posting about it. Stay tuned!
Just watched a YT review on this series. I think kids will love these because of the assortment of weapons... and parents will like the cost per figure. Based on how much a lot of action figures cost these days, the $10 price tag seems like a bargain. If I ever see Storm Shadow in stores, I'm gonna grab it for my classroom.
I've already opened these and I'm not overly impressed with them, Fuji. Maybe it was just my Stormy but he felt very loose at the waist. I know they have a gimmick but it kind of bugs me. Snake Eyes is pretty cool, though.
They're not very impressive, Alexis. My Ninja and Stormy figure were both kind of loose at the waist. Also the web gear on the red ninja fits very loosely and flops around all over the place. I would wait on these to hit Five Below before picking any up.
CT Toys is heavy on my radar right now. I was pleasantly surprised with Wolverine but this Spider-Man figure has made me a full fledged believer. Included are 5 sets of alternate hands, 1 with magnets (6 in all if you count the ones he comes equipped with), 1 extra set of articulated feet with magnets, 4 web streams and an alternate McFarlane style head sculpt. Oh, and a display stand. I've said in the past how sucky I am at posing action figures. That said, MAFEX/CT figs are great for posing, even if you're not very good at it. It's "kid gloves" with these guys, though, as they are a little gummier than Legends figures. CT Toys Wolvie and Spidey! Here's CT Toys Spidey next to a couple of Marvel Legends Spider-Man figures. The differences are pretty pronoun...
Growing up we had lots of cool superhero toys to collect. There was never a shortage of Batman, Superman or Spiderman figures in the toy aisles. Mainstream characters got all the love. Dudes like Daredevil, not so much. That all changed in the mid to late 80's (Mattel Secret Wars) and in 1990 Toy Biz would start releasing their seemingly neverending line of Marvel Superheroes that gave us action figures of everybody from Daredevil to Deathlok.

ReplyDeleteI keep being tempted by these, and and have had them in my cart many times (as I can't really afford Classified), but just can't pull the trigger.
