threezero is expanding the 1:6 GI JOE line for 2022!

[Shaun & Ed Fan]

So Roadblock and Snake Eyess are the only two JOE’s who have been made? Has Threezero hinted at who’s next or are they it?

They did show some kind of early illustration type artwork of Lady Jane a while ago...

Yup, Lady Jaye is the only one from the original concept drawings that hasn’t been released.

As for other Joes, here is what 3Z said in the initial announcement:
The next characters in our line-up include Roadblock, Lady Jaye, Scarlett, and Duke from Team Joe.

So they apparently have 3 other Joes planned, but haven’t made them.

The elbows are naturally weak. I’ve had 3 bodies and they all tend to barely hold at 90 degrees but typically force themselves down. Just the nature of the rubber arms unfortunately

I took a syringe and injected FIX around the inner elbow joint. It helped tremendously! Might try a body swap for Snake Eyes and Firefly. I know it's more involved because of the pegs. I still love the way these figures and their accessories look.

Thanks for letting me know! Didn’t think that would work on ratchet joints. Good to know as I might see about doing that for Destro instead of swapping the arms entirely

I just got the Commando Snake Eyes in from Sideshow and I like him overall. If you have the first version you almost have this one already since 90% is reuse. The sweater and tactical vest and headsculpt are the only new features. All of his gear and clothing is reuse. I like the red on his visor as it really pops in the room. I will get pics up later when I have more light available for the display.

Good to know. My plan was to take an extra Snake that I have and turn it into Commando version.

This line is my new obsession.

Unboxing video with great shots of everything. He looks pretty good even if the only new things are the head, shirt and vest.

Here is the new commando Snake Eyes with the first three zero and my sideshow commando with an updated sweater for the classic look. Overall sideshow is my favorite version in overall look but the three zero figures are very nice. Even with the reuse I like them. The red visor really pops. The firefly and Destro and Cobra Commander figures to me are their best so far and I look forward to what is next in the line.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts and pics of Commando Snake Eyes @punisher1974

The Sideshow one was also my preferred but felt like they just didn’t go well with the new 3Z figures. I think the 3Z Commando version could’ve been improved ever so slightly had they gave him at least more tactical/military style kneepads similar to what they gave to Firefly as well as combat boots, maybe even some tactical pants.

I finally got my Cobra Commander out of the box to do some work on him. My mods are slight but I like them.

I ironed on some fabric interfacing along the underside of the shirt collar to get rid of the ends curling up as well as help the collar lay flat and stay sharp.

I also added some padded foam sleeves to the biceps. I tried swapping the arms with some bulkier ones, but under the shirt, it didn’t make much difference in my opinion; so, I went with the padded option.

The main thing was adding the missing magnets on the cape at the ends with the cobra medallions to attach to the magnets that are sewn into the shirt. Odd that they left those out. The cape looks so much better now that it’s not floating above the shoulders

I’ve got him on the old Sideshow Cobra stand. I think he looks pretty imposing on it as well as almost resembling the old Sideshow PF.

Your mods do make cobra Commander look better and he was already a well done figure. Destro and Firefly are also top notch and I agree the Snake should have had combat boots more like Firefly. I really don't like the boots and kneepads Snake comes with. I have the Sideshow Commando Snake with the Threezero figs and I think he hold ups well with them but the original one they did does not at all even with body upgrades.
