Thanks man. I feel like I'm part of the club...now I just need to get slap some ungloved hands on him and I'll be set.

~~I also grabbed two of these for Snakes and Stormshadow:

Got my Snake Eyes yesterday. I ported him over to a Standard TT but I wasn't digging the way it made his shoulders and underarms look, so if I can get even a second to myself tonight I'm going to switch him over to a narrow TT. Once again the Pro he was on has floppy hips, which seem to be the last real issue with the Pro body. I hope SS can remedy that as I'm getting tired of looking at a pile of Pro bodies in my parts bin and I would really hate to see it grow anymore then it has.

I'm pretty impressed with the work SS did on this guy. Lots of pouches, grenades, magazines, weapons and on and on. If I were to complain about anything it would be the neck on his shirt. I've tried tucking it in as little as possible into the neck adapter prior to popping the head on and that does work fine but I still can't help but be a little annoyed when posing him and suddenly seeing all traces of his neck disappear. It doesn't take much to futz him back into shape but it seems that SS could have done something, perhaps add a seam, to make the neck line lay in a better way against the body. Aside from that he's one bad ass figure. :rock :rock SS has done a f'n amazing job on this figure. I finally see what all the hype has been about.

Hey bud. Very quietly, sneak off and check your PMs and do not share that info with anybody else! ;)
 
I just got both Snakes and Stormy today! I didn't plan it that way, and they both arrived to two different address (in the process of moving right now) kinda weird though.
I only had enough time to check out Snakes, a ton of great gear and hands, love the swords. The Uzi is nice even though both the silencer and magazine like to fall off with just a glance.

But I got a very poorly done mask, the balaclava has a hole in the seam right above the right eye and the lower portion is glued in place a skew. I plan on removing the mask and rearranging the balaclava so the hole is under the visor, either that or replace the balaclava, I have an extra someplace.

I also have the same issue with the shirt collar. Not sure how I'll fix that. Maybe sew a new tighter collar piece to wrap around the neck and push the shirt down? :dunno

I also have very lose hips and thigh twist joints, not too much of an issue as he needs a body swap because of the narrow shoulders and slim arms. I have a Asian truetype waiting for Storm Shadow, I'll have to save up for a narrow shoulder TT for Snakes.

Overall I'd give Snake Eyes a 7.5.
Sideshow really shouldv'e made the visor and balaclava removable and included a pair of goggles. I'd rather have that then the extra pair of bent toe boots, but then they couldn't sell us a second version of SS now could they?
 
Thanks, I am going to grab one. I was trying to stay out of this line, but I just can't with all the SS pics being posted.

I havn't had time to read through all the Stormshadow thread. Is their a general consenus on which body is best for him? Or is the Pro good enough? I like the last pic mando posted of his.
