Sideshow Snake Eyes and Timber 1/6th Figure Set

[Darth_Calibrate]

and so it begins, a game of note passing between me and the lazy fedex ******* who claims he can never find my house

Finally opened him up. Basically the goggled head is a non-issue. That wonky Frankenhead seems to be distorted in pics as in person, it's not noticeable. Other than that a few things I haven't yet seen mentioned yet, the hands are done in a softer material so it's easier to grip items and the knees are finally perfected. No more of the "damn, am I gonna break this?" stiff rubber knees. Swapped him to the Commando sweater and tucked it in. Definitely recommend it to those who want a more classic SE. I'll probably leave the body since the arms don't look near as ridiculous as I thought they would.

Timber, on the other hand, is a waste. He barely holds himself up and the articulation makes zero sense, since you really can't get more than a couple poses out of him. They should've gone with a polystone wolf and just included a swapout head.

Also, important for those not taking off the ski jacket. Be mindful of the shirt beneath. When I stripped him down to swap to the Commando sweater, the sleeves of the shirt had been twisted into the shoulder joints I'm guessing while they put the coat on at the factory. So if you guys aren't paying attention, it's very possible you could rip the sleeves right off the torso and wind up with them tangled in the joints.

Yea that undershirt is super thin.

The hands are nice. They removed the top part so there is a better range of motion. The glove and boots should be all black though, the gray looks odd.

Overall, a better figure than the first issue.

Received my SE 2.0 yesterday and and a great time picking just how I want to gear him up. Definitely need to echo the talk that the figure (and the heads) look great in person. The visor head almost feels like it was included specifically to replace the goofy looking one from the first version they did, and it looks super nice there. I've been waiting a while for a replacement body that I like for the original too, and I think I may buy 2nd body of ebay from this figure just for that purpose, if only for the sweet and totally cool inclusion of the tattoo.

They did, it was stated by Sideshow in an earlier interview.

I got mine today.My mom said she'll pay for it and it will be a Christmas gift so I have to wait till Dec. 25th to open it!!!

 

[BuddyGus]

Got mine yesterday. Didn't get to break him out since the wife is making me put it under the tree. Throught the window box he looks pretty good.

The next two weeks are going to be frustrating.

1. Remove Snake Eyes and Timber dolls from box.
2. put something in box to give it some weight
3. ???
4. Profit

 

[Kibagami]

Can someone take pictures of the back of the knife sheath? I want to see what they did there so I can figure out a way to mount it on his shoulder.





It's exactly like Beach heads.
Damn it.

3. Pick up a good gift for the wifey so she's not bent when she sees you lied... or punch her in the stomach.

Have mine and its all set up. Still debating whether or not to put the ACI sweater on him. I kinda like the coat. Love my V1 even more now also with the new head. Think the V1 on the TTA body, new head, and my additions is my favorite still but I do love the V2 also. They are the two perfect Snake Eyes figures. Here are some crappy IPhone pics.

Don't have this figure (yet), but from the pics posted here, I still like the original fabric head (sans the over-sized visor, of course). I know Sideshow provided the visor head for continuity (as far as the other masked heads in this line after Snakes), but the new head sculpt's look on the OG Snakes body is kind of jarring for me. Maybe I'll change my mind when I finally get it in hand.

Two questions:

1) Does this version have the long neck joint? In some of the pics, Snake Eyes looks like he suffer's from the "giraffe neck" syndrome. If so, he may look better switched to the shorter neck joint (a la the Cobra Viper before him).

2) Has anyone switch this body to the V1 Snake's gear? If so, how does it look? Like many, I have my V1 on a muscle body, but when I finally get V2, I want to have continuity as far as body size.

This version comes with the longer neck. He's designed to be with the coat (being the Commando version) so the longer neck (Zartan/Rock & Roll) is necessary with that. As far as the V2 (remember this is the Ver1 SE, Sideshow's first release was their take on the Ver2), if you have him on a TTM19 or even a TTA, I wouldn't worry about consistency. The arms here are only marginally larger than those of a TTM19.

Is it just me or is there a select group of people who seem to be over compensating with the Snake Eyes praise?

I have to admit, the thought did cross my mind.

Congrats to those who are pleased with him, though. I'm fine with V1.

I'd probably pick this up if I got a really good deal, though, or traded for one. What I'd really like is one of those aftermarket sweaters, though...

 

[DinoDB1975]

Thanks, Nam. As far as the versions, I was referring to the order of releases; should have just said commando Snake Eyes and Ninja Snakes Eyes to prevent any confusion.

I still like the SPIE rig that Ninja Snakes comes with, but there's a ton of gear on this release that I like as well.

 

[davej1438]

Timber isnt that bad. It is way too heavy and he has to be placed in a pounce pose. It looks pretty good thought. I like it overall.

 

[SirGor]

It's nice to have an official Timber.

 

[Keenan]

Got mine. Timber should have been a lot lighter. Shame he can't really hold poses.

 

[Adrosi]

This is such an awesome figure.

Could stare at it for hours.

Definitely going to buy another after Christmas.

Hell I might even try to corner the market.

Doooooo it..............

 

[JMW326]

This looks nice but is not in the budget right now.
I may have to see if I can pick up one of the extra heads from someone that doesn't want both to do a bash. I am trying to decide if I want to offer up either my unmasked Stormshadow head or the variant Falcon head. decisions decisions.

 

[Keenan]

Opened my SE- first thing I did was remove those goggles. Replaced them with a slightly larger pair....
