This poseable 8″ figure is dressed in fabric clothing similar to the toy lines that helped define the licensed action figure market in the 1970s. #Snake wears his iconic camo pants, muscle tee and assault boots and comes with a removable jacket, holster belt, and enough weaponry to take down a small army.

I just saw that on BBTS. I'm definitely picking that up!

And with that sweet sweet price tag, will definitely get 2.

Tempting might have to pass on this just like I did with the sideshow figure.

He looks real sexy.

Okay.. this came out of nowhere.

I am digging it,i love the 8" Mego style figures i think these are a great idea but only if they stick to older films. Part of the charm of these is that there were no toys in the 8os for these films. I can not wait to see the packaging art as the recent artwork on the Evil Dead 2 figures were awesome especially Deadite Ash.

Okay.. this came out of nowhere.

I think there has been licensing issues for a while now, and somehow it finally came to fruition since there is three companies now doing Snake figures.

Did you know that Boom Studios are doing a new Snake Plissken comic too.

 

[Snake Plissken]

I'll have to look into that. One of these days I'm buying up the old run from a few years ago.

I don't know if it has been officially announced but Eric Powell put the cover up on his Facebook page. Eric is writing and doing the covers for Big Trouble In Little China for Boom and it is a very good comic.

 

[Snake Plissken]

Whoa there's a BTILC comic?

 

[ditch]

It is on issue 2 at this minute mate its written by Eric Powell but the story is from John Carpenter and it continues from the end of the film. It is worth buying for Erics cover art alone.
Here i found the teaser for you.

That's pretty slick, nice art.

Awesome figure!!! I will have two of these. Just have to wait so long. I guess the Sideshow figure will keep me happy in Spetember until then.

 

[Collector47]

Just got the Funko 3 3/4 inch figures in the mail. Liked the backer card art design (that's about it). The little nondescript figures (one with and without a jacket) couldn't have been more generic. But since we've never had any Snake figures, I'm grabbing whatever they make, because when it's gone, it's likely gone for good. At least in my lifetime anyway.

Shipping to stores now. Here's a review with some pics...

Neca hinted on their twitter page that they might release a regular 7 inch in the future. I might just wait for that. Not a huge fan of the Mego dolly look.

But if I happen to come across it in Toys R Us and it looks good in person, I don't know if I'll be able to help myself....

 

[GasparZizou]

Damn that looks pretty badass.

It's worth getting just for the packaging, look at that ****!
