Respectfully, you are missing the point. This is a Trophy Room. Winning.
At losing. Your initial post was bragging about how much you'd rake in on ebaY.

The grievous issues with this piece also make it laughable, an almost worthless Commando head which is the key selling point for this figure, a poorly sculpted wolf that looks like Mattel made it and a yawning head as an Ex that doesn't look the least bit intimidating.
Just on retail MSRP alone (assuming that's how you bought most of the carded 25th 1:18 RAHs), you've already lost money. WalMart and Target were clearancing out all the 25th anny stuff and most LCSs are having a hard time moving them still.
Thats really disappointing too...Seeing that most all the original figures still carded command ridiculous prices, I figured these 25th figures would be a huge hit...I bought mine for nostalgia value, but sad that this line didnt do better than it did...
and the reason being is the Joe market is fixed, there are no new buyers but the original collector. Early 20 year olds today are not this stuffThis SE will sit in the warehouse just like the trooper and all the others that can still be had
The extra Firefly head was just a duplicate accessory with a minor paint upgrade in the grand scheme of things. I just don't see them totally resculpting a new head/goggle setup for SE. They obviously thought it looked cool enough to put up for order so I think that's that.
I'm not talking about Sideshow corrections. Just overall enthusiasm by the collectors. You know...the figure "growing" on people.
<-- still using the black balacklava with urban digital. The camo Ice Viper head never grew on me.
but he is the one joe that is really bringing big bucks on ebay
So Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow are just fetching chump change.

Well I just think this is the best figure ever created. Gosh darn... God and Jesus likely helped make that Commando mold because it's absolutely flawless...and I know I'm not the only one who thinks that way...
I officially change all my previously mentioned statements and opinions that may endorse modification to this version of Snake Eyes.
Keep up the good work Sideshow the details and the addition of Timber were a fantastic plus and likely could have upped the price to $259.99. I can't praise Sideshow enough for getting this bad boy down to $199.99.
The definitive Snake Eyes......... ........ ........EVER.

I agree! Much like the definitive version of the original Snake Eyes was the 1993 Ninja Force version, this is the pinnacle of 12'' figure achievement!
You all need to recognize that sometimes it gets cold and a commando ninja needs his fluffy sweater to keep himself warm! Ninjas need sweaters too!
And ease up on Timber, he can't help it if he's a cross between a wolf, a hyena and a pikachu.
With that, I think there is only one thing that keeps this figure from reaching the perfection that we know as Sideshow Zander figure from the Buffy series.
IT NEEDS THE ART S. BUCK BODY!
BRING BACK THE BUCK!!!!!!
