Also mentioned was the removable knife sheath on the shoulder, and there's a tiny knife that goes in it. Well, there's the complex webgear I mentioned Ultimately Hasbro decided to include both heads in the same package, which was a nice gesture for the fans. One would feature the medieval looking 'ninja' style facemask, while the other would be packaged with the original 'commando' goggles and ski-mask look. Originally, this figure was to be released in two evenly packed variants. Often, there's no way for the figure to hold all or even most of its accessories, which is one thing that always bugs me.

However, at some point we must stop and ask ourselves: how many accessories is too many accessories for a single figure? As the line presses on, it seems like each successive series is packed with more and more accessorives to the point where it's excessive. Like his sixth-scale Sideshow doppelganger, DB SE V2 comes loaded with accessories, as we've come to expect from the Pursuit of Cobra line. Though some of the figures with new wrist joints get a different direction of hinge on either hand, both of SE's are hinged so that the hands move up and down on the wrist, rather than inward or outward. New articulation into its Joes, and Snakes gets the new-fangled pegged and hinged wrist joints and double-hinged knees in addition to the standard Joe fare. His kneepads are a dark grey, and the trademark Arashikage i-ching design is present on his right bicep, while his left has a new-styled GI Joe logo. He's mostly flat black, with gloss applied to his facemask, gloves, boots, holsters, and straps. This being Snake-Eyes, the paint is sparse but effective. On top of his duds he's got some complex webgear, with loads of sculpted straps and buckles, a working removable knife sheath on the shoulder strap, and some straps that hang down between his legs made of real elastic.

None of it is too innovative, but it takes an iconic design and really ramps up the detail. He's wearing a simple but nicely detailed knitted sweater and some black cargo pants, with some cool kneepads to spice up the look. This particular version of Snakes is, as we said, made up of all new molds, and borrows heavily in its design from the high-end, 1:6 scale Snake-Eyes figure released by Sideshow Collectibles. While this second DB SE release is an all-new figure, it still might be confusing, especially since you can still find the first DB SE on many store shelves. The first, a decent figure in its own right, was originally planned as an Arctic figure, but was recolored as a more generic SE and shoehorned into the desert. So, first off: this is the second Snake-Eyes in the Pursuit of Cobra line packaged in the 'Desert Battle' theme. He is armed with a pistol, submachine gun and swords to battle anyone who tries to stop him from reaching his target. As the team fights Cobra forces in the desert, Snake-Eyes slips behind enemy lines to blow up Cobra fortifications.

Snake-Eyes is the GI Joe team's ninja commando and martial arts master. However, they somehow manage to keep on pumping out new Snake-Eyes figures that are totally worth buying. 'Snake-Eyes Fatigue' is prominent in the Joe community. You would think after so many figures of the character, they would be hard-pressed to come up with a new version that fans would flip over. Hasbro is pretty amazing when it comes to its resident badass, commando/ninja Snake-Eyes. Snake-Eyes (v.2) GI Joe: Pursuit of Cobra B u y t h e t o y s, n o t t h e h y p e.
