Sideshow Snake Eyes and Timber 1/6th Figure Set

[onethousandmasks]

Wow, what a downer.

 

[thenammagazine]

Im excited for this one, but i agree the sweater makes him look a lil too bulky.

I am a bit dissapointed that he doesn't come with the falchion.

I know these pics are early but it seems there are no patches for snake eyes. Does this bug any of you guys too?

Why would it? Snake Eyes is straight-up black ops. He shouldn't have any designations, nametapes, rank patches, etc.

Agreed, underwhelming. I wonder if the $200 is meant to reflect this as being a 2-pack rather than Snake Eyes coming with Timber as an accessory?

Either way $200 is at least $25 too high for the set.

Would you pay $50 for a Hasbro-ey Pokemon-ey Wolf?

 

[Kibagami]

Sideshow drops the ball. Or did they? I feel mixed.

 

[onethousandmasks]

$200 plus shipping is definitely too high

but I don't have Snake Eyes and it beats paying much more for the inferior 1st version...

hopefully this price is not the trend for These going forward.Sideshow is not Hot Toys to be charging Higher prices regardless of petroleum costs going up

I dont know. This is not as good as I thought it would be.

 

[thenammagazine]

I dont know. This is not as good as I thought it would be.

The "inferior" version was less than half the price and easily fixed with a body swap, switching the visor to a Trooper head and a $10 plastic wolf.

This is going to be absolutely horrid with CA tax and shipping (likely closer to $250).

I think that's going to be dependent upon who you ask.

 

[Davestro]

I was worried when I first saw the pics with the sweater, seeing how bulky it looked, then saw the other pics without. I missed out on the first version, so this is a must for me.

I'd like to see a shot with the commando mask without the sweater. Love his loadout, has all the weapons I wanted, including the explosives bag.

I think Timber would have made it worth the $200 if he as actual fur...LOL.

 

[thenammagazine]

But we already know what you think which is why nobody's asking you.

 

[gagaliya]

I honestly think this is a disappointment

1) The timber looks horrible the way it's put together, you can see the gaps all around where the head connects to the body and also the leg joints.

2) Snake eye is not even close to how nice the old version is. I will say again that sweater is just wrong, he doesnt look badass or special ops, look like a bloated fat guy. All those weapon accessories put on top of the sweater/pants look forced and doesnt belong there. Both head sculpt looks fine.

3) $200 price tag, newsflash you are not hot toys..ridiculous.

All around fail (my opinion)

 

[SilentSurfer]

Yeah, the goggle head looks too small in those pix, the visor sculpt seems to be better proportioned.

I painted the heads for Snake Eyes and the heads are exactly the same size. I think the goggles looking so narrow on the face is visually pulling the proportion inward, making that head look smaller, whereas the visor extends beyond the width of the head, making it look larger all around. It's the goggles. I'm not sure they are too small though. It's just an illusion somehow.

The only thing I don't really like is making the Timber growling head the Exclusive..for the price,that should be already included...it should of been something else (like the radioactive Cannister from the Cartoon)

At $199 a pop, Sideshow couldn't find SE some 1:6 goggles?

And that doesn't even address the wolf.

That's ok by me. As long as I'm happy with it that's all that matters to me.

which had ALOT of problems too!

Smaller body
Floppy loose legs joints
Magazines that don't fit in his chest pouches and then ripped the pouches when trying to put them in.
Uzi sits on a tilt when he holds it

I don't think they are too small. It's just an unfortunately illusion in those pics.

Thanks SilentSurfer, nice paint job on the goggles btw, the effect looks really good. Can you confirm, are the heads as grey as they look in the pix?

 

[elvis1976]

Not bad, not liking this zipped-up sweather.

 

[Darth Aidan]

Wow..a little underwhelmed for 200 bones the wolf head exclusive is not worth the money if you ask me.

I think lighting is making it look brighter, but it isn't totally black either. It's supposed to resemble this silk balaclava material.

Yeah, The inital preview profile shot looked enticing at first but i have mixed feeling about this one after seeing the rest of the pics.

• Yeah the jacket does make him look bulky.
• The goggle mask looks rather small on the body, i assume that its an optical illusion due to the color contrast between the dark uniform and the color of the head sculpt?
• The gloves are rehash from another figure (I assume beachead)
• The visor mask makes the neck look longer in some of the photos

Yeah Im on the fence on this one, like so many others I missed out on the 1st and was looking forward to this, now im not too sure.

I sincerly hope that they will make the necessary improvements to the figure.
