This was the only Snake Eyes figure available to me as a kid until the Ninja Force version released. Always wanted the older ones as a kid, but now looking back I've got to say it's the perfect embodiment of the 90s aesthetic. And somehow, it works.
I had this action figure. I used to put the swords down the back in between the backpack and action figure. It worked farily well. Was my favorite GI Joe I had.
This version was a little after my time, but I would certainly buy it now. Nice looking figure. I was never much of a Snake Eyes fan- way too overrated. Thanks for the video, Hoodie!
It was so weird how they buffed-up the body at the time, but I loved it; the color too finally made Snake Eyes an interesting figure to have on display.
I did not like this version until he was illustrated in an issue of GIJOE, and Snakes Eyes, Duke, and I believe Lady Jaye invade Cobra Island. Snake Eyes looks amazing in this issues. The illustration of Snake Eyes stabbing a B.A.T in the back of the head is absolutely incredible.
Same. I was in high school at the time and hadn’t thought about G.I. Joe in years. (LOVED it when I was younger.) Anyway, was at the comic shop looking for some X-Men comics and ran across those issues. Oh, man, yeah, Snake Eyes looked great! I ended up buying that figure at a Toys r Us. And then bought the Dollar General update when the 25th anniversary figures hit hard a few years back.
Issue #133. The cover art of Snake Eyes in this outfit is amazing also. This issue in piticular, and the few issues before and after, really tones down the blue a little. Really helps the designe of the outfit.
Great review. My son had both v3 and v4 from the huge box of Joes I bought at a yard sale. I bought him the 12" H.O.F version and set it as well as other 12" figures when I found my ex wife was going to have a boy. I want to say my son used v4 as a Swat figure along with the 3 versions of Shockwave that he had as well.
Not only did I have this 3/34, I also had a 12in version as well. I loved this version of Snake Eyes maybe because it was the 90s and he was so extreme.
I loved this figure when it came out has a neat urban SWAT feel to it and love the Japanese characters on the wrist guards. I used to give him the Iron Grenadiers Uzi when I had him in action!
Hey hoodie I was shocked to see you do this version of snakeeyes, this was my only survivor from my childhood collection sans original o ring and accessories
I had this toy and I liked it, mostly because my old Snake Eyes figure was broken by the time this came out, and I always had a hard time finding Snake Eyes figures. I was just happy to have the character again, especially since i had also gotten the Ninja Force Storm Shadow around the same time.
Because of this figure, when I found Night Vulture at a Flea Market, I thought he was a version of Snake Eyes. I had SEv4 as a kid and really enjoyed him.
This was the only version of Snake Eyes that I owned in childhood and I loved it in spite of the neon colored accessories and departure from his established look. I do agree that an Uzi and scabbards on his backpack for the twin swords would made this a better figure.
I had that 12" Snake Eyes as a kid. I never got the 3-3/4 V4 until I was older, approaching my teens and got him at a flea market with no accessories. The Ninja Force version was the first 3-3/4 I had as a young kid, even then I hated the lack of articulation. Finally around 97 I got the Stars and Stripes Forever set with V7. A reissue of V1.5 with some grey highlights like V2. That was my go-too Snake Eyes until I stopped playing with them.
Almost had me fooled there HCC, I was like "WOW he got the real Snake Eyes", and then I was like, "since when could he spea- OHHH that's HCC opening up the mask" LOL fun intro as always
I wasn't so thrilled about this style of character for Snake Eyes especially in the HOF 12 inch scale when it first came out. But I also wasn't involved with the scale of Joe after 1986ish I wasn't buying them or looking at them in the toy aisles from then on. But now after so many years I really love the outfit and how good it looks with the other figures. I put all of them together within the 12 inch framework. Especially when I figured out that Snake EYes and Stalker were in Vietnam then I saw the war years of the line as being the Stalker and other figures fighting America's wars then fighting against Cobra and the other bad guys.
I think he's great definetely a figure/version you either like or loathe and Hasbro couldn't exactly make another Black/Grey Black/Silver version, in saying that I have a few I got in lots and one of those I'm gonna paint up silver and black.. Cool review HCC 🐍
This takes me back to my childhood. My brother was the Snake Eyes fan, I was team Storm Shadow. Ver. 2 was my favourite, simple design and Timber. Also the Ninja Storm version was pretty cool. . .🤩😎👌
85 is my favorite overall, but I love the 91 version, if only for nostalgia. (It is pretty hideous though, isn't it?) By the late 80s, I was feeling myself "too old" for GI Joe (and most toys) as it seemed most of my friends my age were more into things like sports and video games. But, I soon started hanging out with a kid who would become one of my best friends, and ended up getting back into the Joes (and other lines, like TMNT) through his enthusiasm for them. Unfortunately, I'd already given most of my Joes away to younger neighborhood friends by then, so I had to start a brand new collection. 91 Snake Eyes was the first new version after I got back into it, as well as the only one I had during that "second wave" of collecting and playing with Joes. So, definitely nothing but good memories of this silly-looking version!
Great Video - i only ever had the V3 of Snake Eyes back in the day but did get the V4 and i always thought V4 was cool when i geared him up with some decent accessories! Yo Joe!!!
I still have this one somewhere. I LOVE the sculpting on this figure, and I am okay with the red goggles (makes me think of Lowlight's visor), the grey and silver, and I am even okay with the grappling hook (yes, you have the original string, and it is supposed to wrap loosely around the cylindrical section of the barrel), but the blue on this figure is a bit much, and the bright orange and goofy gun is too much. I would have preferred a dark grey if they wanted the color contrast. Anyway, thanks for posting!
So yeah I remember my brother had the Hall of Fame version of this guy, along with the HoF version of his Ninja Force iteration. I liked to take the black shirt and slacks from that one and put them under the vest and mask from this guy's HoF figure, and the black looks SO much better than the blue IMHO
I like the colors on this figure. I like this and the third version. Second version was my favorite in the cartoon. The orange weapons don't work though.
Never thought about the goggles being soooo large. Once you pointed it out, I couldn't stop seeing it. Oh well, I never liked that version of Snake Eyes anyway.
I always thought the color scheme of this Snake Eyes made the figure look like a Cobra agent. I found the Night Fighter Guile figure used the same body as Snake Eyes v4, so I picked up one of those figures, swapped the v4 head onto the body, and added a lil black paint to make a proper colored Snake Eyes figure.
That looks very much like the original string. With the string wrapped around the backpack it the swords can be carried tucked into them. (If you got that figure loose it might even have been the one I opened and sold to a store years ago.) A random thing that stood out to me years ago, compare 1991 card backs, the year seems to be somewhat a carryover from 1990 in style. Tracker, Snake Eyes, Cobra Commander, B.A.T. II are only on the back of their packages but not on the other 1991 figures card backs.
I'd been a Joe fan for much longer, but this was my first Snake Eyes figure. It's not the best, but it's also under rated. I was collecting the 1991 Impel G.I. Joe cards and was ecstatic to see Snake Eyes included in the "1991 Recruits" subset -- I new I'd be getting my first SE figure withing the next few months! The card art was very misleading, with his more traditionally colored uniform, but I was still happy with the figure -- no more using Ice Viper with his eyes covered with Sticky Tack as Snake Eyes for me! His weapons aren't colored well but the swords are sculpted well and the grappeling hook is a great take on a spring loaded weapon. The gun is odd, but there were definitely worse ones...
Thought this one looked pretty good except for the orange weapons. The blue shirt didn’t bother me too bad but the blue boot spats are a bit much, I was glad the 12” Hall of Fame version didn’t have that. The Hall of Fame Snake-Eyes that came out after that one based on the Ninja Force Snake-Eyes was even cooler because you could take the extra gear off and get a more version 1 look.
Ah, such a ridiculous version of ol Snake Eyes ... yet I don’t hate it! I bought it as I was into the comic at the time. Of course the First thing I did was repaint the weapons black, and replaced the light blue with a dark midnight blue/dark gray color. So much better! Those neon goggles and Jason mask though ... not much I could do with them.
Thanks for some new-to-me info! I’ve always preferred Snake Eyes as a Commando with martial arts training, not the other way around. This was pre-Turtle popularity, so not sure what triggered the shift that led to Hasbro’s decision to focus on his ninja side more than ability to cap fools with his uzi. I’m guessing Karate Kid’s success? Larry Hama fell under the sway of Cobr... ahem, Hasbro’s demand that he use their increasingly STUPID toys in the comic (thankfully, Hama broke free of the Brainwave-Scan... *cough*... long enough to kill off a bunch of the new idiots after 1-2 appearances! But by ‘88, TMNT was booming, leading to Hasbra dumb idea of “Ninja Force.” Everybody was a Ninja now. As mentioned in the video, the GI Joe logo got shrinky-dinked with “Featuring SNAKE-EYES (Larry, is it hyphenated or not?). This would’ve been considered the comic book’s darkest days, but Cobrasbro made even stupider and stupider decisions capitalizing on Toxic-Waste, Just Say No (Joe?) drug sellers, then basically crashed and burned with space-mutant monsters and Neon, regaining its footing as Real American (Not always ninjas) Heroes for the final batch of issues. Hama put a lot of time and personal experience into making the Marvel comic far grittier, more realistic and incorporating *actual military* ranks, specialties, vehicles (C-130, baby) and details down to specs of guns, ammo and C-Rations that separated it from the lasers and parachutes-4-all cartoon (which still rocked). The first 120 issues are arguably the best, even though it included some silliness. A favorite scene of mine that you’d never see in any cartoon was a SAW Viper finding a trench full of Joes and brutally mowing them all to pulp, dead.
Ninjas were popular before the Turtles hit the scene. Enter the Ninja and Revenge of the Ninja created the ninja craze in the states, and Enter the Ninja was most likely the source Larry Hama lifted his idea from for the Snake Eyes/Storm shadow rivalry, just with the colors reversed. Cole, the caucasian white robed heroic ninja vs Hasegawa, the evil black robed ninja that couldn't accept a foreigner as a ninja.
Putting some work on it (specifically: 1- painting it black with some dark grey details 2- 3d printing a new head with goggles sized more like the ones in the artwork 3- replacing the weapons), the figure could become a decent snake eyes. That spring loaded accessory is beyond stupid: regardless that you prefer Snake Eyes as ninja or as pure commando, both prized stealth and I dare anyone to find some stealth in a MISSILE grappling hook XDXDXD
I never could bring myself to buy this snake Eyes , but i have a variant of the Dollar General Snake Eyes, the same molding, but the color is different the black is paired with Night Viper green,
I think the sculpt of this figure isn't particularly bad but the color scheme definitely could have been better suited for a character such as Snake Eyes (included the accessories, but being a 90's figure I guess putting on some neon was inevitable at the time).
I like this figure, but it came out after I was done collecting as kid. I didn't even know about it until I started collecting for nostalgia. When I saw it, I said it was cool, but not Snake Eyes. My favorite is version 2.
If they were determined to go for another colour other than black, wouldn't olive green have been more suitable? Better still, give him woodland camo and maybe some black. It'd be much more fitting a commando.
Wow...so...I decided to dig out my old snake eyes after seeing this review. Long story short...his weapons are red! Definitely a darker shade compared to that in this video. Is it a colour variant? It was purchased in Canada if that makes a difference. I don’t think I’m colour blind lol
I still have mine and they are most definitely orange like the vid. Mine were USA so there could be a regional variant. I've seen some differences in Canadian releases, the stickers for the GI Joe shuttles for example.
Him and the talking Cobra commander were the very last Joes that I ever got until I started collecting as an adult.
This was the only Snake Eyes figure available to me as a kid until the Ninja Force version released. Always wanted the older ones as a kid, but now looking back I've got to say it's the perfect embodiment of the 90s aesthetic. And somehow, it works.
My Sunday’s aren’t the same without you,HCC.
Glad to see you back
This was my Snake Eyes. The color of his accessories always felt odd but I was just happy to have a Snake Eyes.
I had this action figure. I used to put the swords down the back in between the backpack and action figure. It worked farily well. Was my favorite GI Joe I had.
This was my snake eyes

This issue in piticular, and the few issues before and after, really tones down the blue a little. Really helps the designe of the outfit.
Still have my snake eyes like this one. Nice review,glad to hear your employed once again.
I grew up on the late eighties and 90s figures, so this was my snake eyes. The orange was a bit much but I liked the figure design
I love this look for snake eyes mostly because I was a kid in 2002 and got the first wave hall of fame as hand me downs.
Great review. My son had both v3 and v4 from the huge box of Joes I bought at a yard sale. I bought him the 12" H.O.F version and set it as well as other 12" figures when I found my ex wife was going to have a boy.

That was my first snake eyes figure!!!
Great review!!!
"Johnny Cash of GI Joe".
Great video, loved it!
Keep crushing it HCC!
I think snake eyes and dusty were probably the best figures to come out of the '90s
I loved this figure when it came out has a neat urban SWAT feel to it and love the Japanese characters on the wrist guards. I used to give him the Iron Grenadiers Uzi when I had him in action!
Yay youre back! May all go well for you. Thank you for another entertaining episode!
Hey hoodie I was shocked to see you do this version of snakeeyes, this was my only survivor from my childhood collection sans original o ring and accessories

I've been waiting for this review

Love your videos Brian! Thx for all the entertainment and keep up the great work bro!
My favorite Joe of all times 🏆
You deserve so many more subscribers!! Love all your videos. So much detail in them. Thank you Hooded Corba Commander!
Great looking figure. All the kids wanted this Snake Eyes in the early 90s.
Awesome work! Miss the live chats..
Best back pack for G.I. Joe figures was Gen 1 Storm Shadow. Perfectly put together and unique to that character.
For a second I thought it was really Snake-Eyes. Instant Subscribe.
congrats on the new job!
Look on the bright side... he could be bright fuchsia and neon orange WITH neon orange weapons.
I had that 12" Snake Eyes as a kid. I never got the 3-3/4 V4 until I was older, approaching my teens and got him at a flea market with no accessories. The Ninja Force version was the first 3-3/4 I had as a young kid, even then I hated the lack of articulation.
Finally around 97 I got the Stars and Stripes Forever set with V7. A reissue of V1.5 with some grey highlights like V2. That was my go-too Snake Eyes until I stopped playing with them.
That is the original rope for his backpack.That was my first Snake-eyes (bc I never could find version 2).
Almost had me fooled there HCC, I was like "WOW he got the real Snake Eyes", and then I was like, "since when could he spea- OHHH that's HCC opening up the mask"

Great channel. Been bingin’ it. Keep up the great work!
I had this figure a long time ago I loved it.
Finally! Good to have you back man!
Christmas 1991 was a good day for me.
I had the Hall of Fame version.
Me too!
This takes me back to my childhood. My brother was the Snake Eyes fan, I was team Storm Shadow. Ver. 2 was my favourite, simple design and Timber. Also the Ninja Storm version was pretty cool. . .🤩😎👌
Love your show man
I await the 68 version retrospective review of snake eyes. :)
Great episode.
Still waiting for your great episode though.
Yes, that string is original :)
Y'know, they could totally use Snake-Eyes as the protagonist for a GI Joe FPS. Perfect justification for him being a silent protagonist.
85 is my favorite overall, but I love the 91 version, if only for nostalgia. (It is pretty hideous though, isn't it?) By the late 80s, I was feeling myself "too old" for GI Joe (and most toys) as it seemed most of my friends my age were more into things like sports and video games.

So, definitely nothing but good memories of this silly-looking version!
I tend to use this Snake Eyes as an urban ops type Snake Eyes except I don't use be neon orange weapons
This version of Snake Eyes was the last G.I. Joe action figure I bought of this toyline.
Great Video - i only ever had the V3 of Snake Eyes back in the day but did get the V4 and i always thought V4 was cool when i geared him up with some decent accessories! Yo Joe!!!
He's a ninmando!
Great video sir !

I would have preferred a dark grey if they wanted the color contrast.
Anyway, thanks for posting!
This version of Snake Eyes was over done in the 2000s from a desert to a heavy weapons uniform.
the figure itself has very complimentary colors imo
So yeah I remember my brother had the Hall of Fame version of this guy, along with the HoF version of his Ninja Force iteration. I liked to take the black shirt and slacks from that one and put them under the vest and mask from this guy's HoF figure, and the black looks SO much better than the blue IMHO

Never thought about the goggles being soooo large. Once you pointed it out, I couldn't stop seeing it. Oh well, I never liked that version of Snake Eyes anyway.
This will always be "Aspen Vacation Snake Eyes" to me
I miss mrs. Hooded Cobra Commander in the videos.
Great vid you makes amazing toy review hazbro should hire you
With the orange & blue, you would think Snake Eyes was a member of the Knicks & Mets
I always thought the color scheme of this Snake Eyes made the figure look like a Cobra agent.
I found the Night Fighter Guile figure used the same body as Snake Eyes v4, so I picked up one of those figures, swapped the v4 head onto the body, and added a lil black paint to make a proper colored Snake Eyes figure.

I always imagined this version of Snake-Eyes as a version of him in artic gear with out a parka.
I still have him!
V2 in my opinion is the quintessential Snake-Eyes.
What was weird was the era in the comics where he wore his v3 costume with the v4 mask. The beginning of Ninja Force era.
I loved the mask on this one.
BOOM! I only own the green version of that Dollar General Snake Eyes out of the two Dollar General Snake Eyes.
Well done sir
I'd been a Joe fan for much longer, but this was my first Snake Eyes figure. It's not the best, but it's also under rated. I was collecting the 1991 Impel G.I.

I don’t mind this version, but my fav is actually v3.
Great review, this was my only snake eyes figure I had growing up, now as a collector I have v3 and v5, can't wait to see his movie
Thought this one looked pretty good except for the orange weapons.
The blue shirt didn’t bother me too bad but the blue boot spats are a bit much, I was glad the 12” Hall of Fame version didn’t have that. The Hall of Fame Snake-Eyes that came out after that one based on the Ninja Force Snake-Eyes was even cooler because you could take the extra gear off and get a more version 1 look.
If you are on a snow covered mountain, it doesnt matter what color you wear if you arent wearing white.
I'm just thankful he didn't come with a neon green Timber
Ah, such a ridiculous version of ol Snake Eyes ... yet I don’t hate it! I bought it as I was into the comic at the time. Of course the First thing I did was repaint the weapons black, and replaced the light blue with a dark midnight blue/dark gray color. So much better! Those neon goggles and Jason mask though ... not much I could do with them.
I like this version because of the arcade game
Best Snake Eyes :P
Also you need to let people know where that awesome hoodie is from
Thanks for some new-to-me info! I’ve always preferred Snake Eyes as a Commando with martial arts training, not the other way around. This was pre-Turtle popularity, so not sure what triggered the shift that led to Hasbro’s decision to focus on his ninja side more than ability to cap fools with his uzi.

Version 6 looks like a 1990 tmnt movie foot soldier
Issue #133 of the comics should have been how this figure was colored.
I never could bring myself to buy this snake Eyes , but i have a variant of the Dollar General Snake Eyes, the same molding, but the color is different the black is paired with Night Viper green,
Great review. Is it me or is one of his arms loose? You seemed to be moving it pretty easily with your thumb. Whooo new job!!! Congrats!
WHERE DID YOU GET THAT SNAKE-EYE'S ZIP-UP SWEATER FROM....LOVE YOUR SHOWS ON VINTAGE G.I.JOE'S FIGURES
I have two of the new classified 6 inch snake eyes open one and keep one sealed.
I would love to see the GI Joe Mauler review.
i need that hoodie!!
and i think somebody i know has a birthday coming up soon....
I think the sculpt of this figure isn't particularly bad but the color scheme definitely could have been better suited for a character such as Snake Eyes (included the accessories, but being a 90's figure I guess putting on some neon was inevitable at the time).
I like this figure, but it came out after I was done collecting as kid. I didn't even know about it until I started collecting for nostalgia. When I saw it, I said it was cool, but not Snake Eyes. My favorite is version 2.
If they were determined to go for another colour other than black, wouldn't olive green have been more suitable? Better still, give him woodland camo and maybe some black. It'd be much more fitting a commando.
I like the mask! It reminds me of Jason from Friday the 13th
👍😎
Wow...so...I decided to dig out my old snake eyes after seeing this review. Long story short...his weapons are red! Definitely a darker shade compared to that in this video. Is it a colour variant? It was purchased in Canada if that makes a difference. I don’t think I’m colour blind lol
I still have mine and they are most definitely orange like the vid. Mine were USA so there could be a regional variant. I've seen some differences in Canadian releases, the stickers for the GI Joe shuttles for example.
