Not to impressed with the way he looks here.

Is this pic of Timber that is being referred to? How can you tell anything?
 
There's a hair grows on people's heads... And it's under that mask ya know...

snake eyes these days is usually depicted with a shaved head.
Which would make sense since hes always wearing a balaclava and hair would just make that even hotter than it already gets under those...
 
I just think he needs more shoulders. Which the sweater covers up along with most of his profile.

And the EX Timber is a lame addition to this set. The intention is right with adding Timber but he isn't important enough for 2 "portraits"
 
I've been defending this SE but I gotta admit: he looks a little dumpy in that picture above...

He looks like he has lost about 40lbs and is still wearing the same clothes prior to losing the weight:slap. I am getting this, but have already ordered Dean's headsculpt and will probably get another shirt to substitute for the HUGE sweater.

Timber already came with an environment and this is the wrong version of SE to include him anyway.

they could had done some improvements, but maybe next round 85 snake eyes will be done right.

Their interpretation of the '85 was already released. This version is including an updated head for that figure (or this one for the latecomers and babybirds). I'd say expect the next SE we see to be the V3:

it was the bradstreet snake eyes, i hope they do a more accurate 85 version. i think thats what will be the one that rocks. and v3 will look good also.

Really? :horror

It was the Bradstreet painting that gave it away years ago. :lol Honestly, if you want something closer to the source material you'll have to bash it. While he looked good in the comics, I'm not sure how well that'd translate to a 1/6 military-ish line. Even the new DC 1/6 bodies are too hulking for a decent SE.

I concur.
 
This may be the first SSC item I cancel.

If I hadn't used RPs to knock him down $50, I think I either would've passed or given up the Elite™ card to pick up the regular. Price aside, he's easily fixable for about $20. A shame at $199, but something we've all become accustomed to with one aspect or another for these guys.
