Would wouldn't love Sideshow's 12" Snake Eyes...??

[crowinghorse]

Love it...after a vest change. :D
Now I just need to find a rappelling harness and new assault rifle...I'm thinking M-4.
Who still uses an Uzi still anyhow? :rolleyes:;)

Suggestions or thoughts?
Thanks for looking! :D

Great pics, that figure is amazing. I wish I could afford one.

He still has the arms of a 10 year old girl. You should fix that.

I've thought of that, but in person the arms don't look that bad. I'm not personally a fan of the Prometheus body from SS, but I'm not willing to completely disassemble the figure just to make his arms a bit bigger - even some of the updated body swap photos on OSW don't make him that great...

Though I do like this one on a Tru-type body from Hot Toys...

I also thought about adding a wooly sweater or a BDU blouse over the top but under the vest/gear...

anything to bulk him up makes him look better. The skinny body wouldn't be as bad is the clothes didn't fit his arms like a baggy sweatshirt.

I think Hot Toys rubber bodysuit would have been a much better fit for snake eyes. Too bad they didn't have the license instead.

I don't know Snake Eyes to me was always a short skinny guy, think Rorschach in Watchmen, I always saw him as about 5'7" and 160 lbs.

[The Amazing Mutato]

I would have got him, but his arms are just too skinny. They don't look right! It messes up the whole figure.:mad:

[GhettoEnhanced]

Only getting the SS Cobra figs but the Snake Eyes gear on the TT body looks dope...

My opinion on the kit: UZI for accuracy or something smaller than an M$ for an updated load out. MP5 or P90 come to mind... something along the lines of CQB auto sub macs.

[crowinghorse]

I'm thinking of giving him a short M870 shotgun or some tactical shotgun as well as a short M4 - MP5 and P90 are great, but would like to keep his vest gear accurate to what he's wearing...

[Peter Hoffman]

His visor is way too low.

[crowinghorse]

His visor is way too low.

Actually, it's too big. It should be about 85% the size it is IMHO. That would solve the visor issue.

IMHO, the best 1/6 SE figure is here - http://www.onesixthwarriors.com/forum/showthread.php?t=92450

Now THAT is a $120 SE figure!!

The Uzi is an awesome gun and it's Snake Eyes' signature weapon. Don't try and make it make sense.

[Slave]

kick ass man. i need to pick one up for my son.

[homunculus]

It's not the arms that bother me so much as how narrow the shoulders are. Add all those pouches on top of that, and he looks decidedly pear-shaped.

Have you ever seen a grunt in full combat gear? I wore the stuff for 4 years and everyonelooks like a pear loaded down with 45+ lbs of stuff - also, take a look at the average combat trooper. Their arms ARE skinny compared to the rest of their body - especially in full gear. Not defending the Prometheus body (which I'm not really a fan of) but the look is fairly accurate if you take into account the look of a regular soldier/Marine/commando in gear.

I'll post some new photos once I get the extra gear I've bought for him - I also painted the knight visor a gunmetal gray/silver to give it a more metal look. I actually dig this version of SE, but WHY the visor isn't a metal color is beyond me..

[freezowave1978]

I always have thought the way the visor meets with the spandex looks weird. I appreciate 1/6 for the realism, but they way it's configured it looks like it'd be completely pointless (yes I know about the history/design of the character). The model with the face mask and/ goggles looks much better to me.

[crowinghorse]

yeah - i'm more of a fan of the googles in this case, but the knight's visor is cool in a retro way I guess...

[Animal Mother]

Those look nice but can't pose for ****. And if there's one thing a SE figure needs to be able to do, it's be posed in all kinds of combat poses :)

Oh, and I like your mod. Reminds me of the Bradstreet art.

[bborst]

Everytime I see pics of this Snake Eyes figure, I'm less and less impressed.
