G.I. Joe Arashikage Clash - Snake Eyes

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...

Figures That I Was Lucky Enough To Find In The Wild - G.I. Joe POC Low Light

When The Pursuit Of Cobra line of G.I. Joe released back In 2010,they dominated the toy aisles.At least for me they did.My eyes would look past anything else on the pegs and lead me directly to the Joe section.There were lots of different figures to choose from,including Low Light.I picked him up for about 8 bucks at Wal-Mart ,not knowing that today he'd be selling anywhere from 20 to 40 dollars,loose and carded,on Ebay and Amazon.They have re-released a Low Light figure for the latest,50th Ann. line ,but with a different shoulder logo that I'm really not too fond of.While I'm not crazy about  a G.I. Joe faction symbol period ,I prefer the POC black flag/star logo over the new energy star like symbol on the 50th Ann. stuff.
