Merry Christmas To Me Pt. 3
After watching several YouTube reviews of Super 7's line of cartoon themed GIJoe figures, I decided to give them shot and I'm glad I did. This figure came in a character specific box. I think that's how they ship directly from Super 7 because I've seen them sans box on the pegs at Walmart. The box inside is also bagged for added security and protection. Once you get this out of the bag you'll notice that there is yet another protective sleeve that slides off the actual figure packaging. One thing I noticed after getting Snake Eyes out of the packaging is that the plastic used isn't nearly as hefty/heavy as Hasbro's Classified. I also spotted a little bit of dried glue on the head sculpt which seems to be a constant with this particular figure.

Recent Pick Ups!
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!

For a martial arts film, anyway. I wasn't crazy about the revamping of the Snake Eyes character but was willing to give Henry Golding a chance as long as they didn't change the backstory too much, and then they did. I guess I can't fairly criticize until I actually see the movie. On the positive, we got more Snake Eyes action figures. Seeing as how I purchased this together with the Lanard Predator figure, I have to say that I had more fun with Lanard's product. Maybe it was the brightness and overall presentation of Lanard's Predator packaging that appealed more to me than the lesser stimulating Snake Eyes box. The drab color scheme is fitting for Snake Eyes I guess. Again, no bio or backstory on the back of the box. Not even...
