Its funny, when they first released GIJoe in 1982, there were no Cobra figures in my area. Since we were young (5 or so) we thought Snake-Eyes was the bad character because he was all in black. Funny how kids think.

Snake-eyes has always been one of my favorite characters. Yo-joe! 🇺🇲👍

I love the fact that you are wearing a Johnny Cash shirt while doing a review for "The Man In Black" 😂👏👏👏

Snake Eyes version 3 was one of my earliest GI Joe Figures.

Gi Joe issue 1 and 21 Silent Interlude have been reprinted numerous times. However, the back up story to issue 1 “Hot Potato” is usually not reprinted and that story hints that there is a connection between Scarlett and Snake Eyes which is not fleshed out until later issues.

The shirt choice didn't go unnoticed by this guy. Well played Sir.

The character that brought me to this brand. I saw him hanging on the pegs at the store and didn't look back.

I love to see these toys. I owned some of the first wave. Sadly my mom threw all my toys out once I hit my teens. I have started with the new classified series. I like your channel.

My mom would allow me to pick 1 G I.Joe figure when we went to the store. I will never forget avoiding choosing the 1982 Snake Eyes figure thinking how generic, boring and simple the toy was. To think how far he has come in G.I.Joe lore over the years is amazing. The 1985 S.E was a different story as not only was his figure more bad ass, he came with a wolf!

Laughed our loud at when he said he also comes with "the head of a second wolf he has murdered"

Best way to follow a month of Cobra is literally the most popular Joe.

Now this is a review...well done. Snake Eyes (and Stormshadow) have been favorites since I was a kid. I still love both of them beyond the nostalgia, they are the benchmark of what a commando and ninja should be. (and yes he is both) The Classified series reignited the kid in me and having a lot of fun casually collecting and displaying them.

Excellent video. It had to be tough to do this one as Snake Eyes was the breakout character. Something about a good guy wearing black. Thanks.

Sir.. Thank you! This video brought back so many happy childhood memories of my dad. My dad was a big Snake Eyes fan and was a real life GI Joe. He was in the US Army Air Corps in WW2 . He had all of the vintage Snake eyes figures . Lol he even bet on race horse just because it's name was Snake Eyes.

Love Snake Eyes, and the Ver. 1 uniform is my absolute favorite, it just looks so cool.

Wow! Thanks for the extremely thorough review of this pivotal character. Unfortunately, the overexposure hurts the mystique around this incredible Joe. He’s still awesome, though.

Snake eyes was awesome. As a kid that grew up with the sunbow cartoon I liked snake eyes and remember him being in the show more than he actually was. The first three mini series (Mass Device, Revenge of Cobra, and Pyramid of Darkness) where my favorites and each featured snake eyes. The scene in Mass Device where he shoots the screen down to save everyone. When Scarlet reaches out and they "touch hands" though the glass. Held a lot of meaning that went over my head as a kid. I would have to wait until the 89 Snake Eyes to have him in figure form. Still for a cost cutting measure they hit it out of the park. Ninjas have their place in GI Joe I just wish they had not gone overboard trying to keep up with TMNT. Snake Eyes is a great idea for a modern ninja. If I could go back in time the only change I would make would be a simple paint application on the straps. Having them dark grey would have drawn out the details a little more.

Great review (that lives up to the "definitive" title) of the first G.I.Joe figure I got as a kid.

throw it all the way back to the early years and say "vee-hickle" 5 times in a sentence. One of my favorite review lines came from the Penguin Guide to Jazz, when it referred to Thelonious Monk as "a return to composition as the highest order" and as a mixture of "...sober gaiety, bleak humor, and thunderous intensity"

This is my favorite version of the resident Commando of the G.I. Joe team.

Tremendous review. Approx 8:30-8:41 - Had to pause the review and wipe tears of laughter away about the wolf comment. Keep up the great work!

This review was outstanding! It hits all of the bases with the information, & then again with all of the technical things such as camera, sound quality, & editing. Very good job, HCC788!

Always my favorite Joe.

The Commando Snake Eyes is the best! I wish Hasbro would have made him like this in the live action movie.

I really like this review, very informative. I was surprised that you did not include the o-ring version that RHINO released with their DVD of Revenge of Cobra. To me this is my favorite because I consider this the most Sunbow accurate of all the Snake Eyes I have seen. Amazing video, keep them coming.

As for all six Snake-eyes figures in the vintage toyline I gotta be real, I like them all I think they do all have their positives, the ones that aren't as good as others could've been better but I feel could've been a lot worse as well.

Classic figure💯💯💯

Really thought you were going to say he's "Silent...but deadly!" 🤣🥃🥃

WOW. No frills, N0 paint, not much back story for v1. This should not be a popular character but actually is AWESOME. The most popular character of the series!

I would love to see a classified version with a black commando jacket,similar to the thumbnail you posted.

Always love your videos bro! Great to see you back in full swing action!! Been hard to keep up with all your content lately!!

Definitely my favorite character, good stuff 👍🏾

Wow! I think this is your BEST review to date! That's high praise, because I think that you always do outstanding reviews. This one though, is exceptional! You're back in the groove, and better than ever, HCC788!

Such a great, iconic character!

Awesome and super indept review as always HCC. You definitely are THE best Gi Joe reviewer. Thank you for sharing.

Great review Hoodie! My son and I love you're reviews. Hope you can do some more soon.

Amazingly comprehensive, well researched review. I feel like I know the character 10 times better now.

GI Joe resolute shows how much of a badass he is when he goes to fight storm shadow.

Awesome video Hoodie!

Black Noir is definitely my favorite GI Joe

Great video. I love your "min-review" of the Snake Eyes Origins movie. My thoughts exactly....."What the hell!?"😂😂

GI Joe Resolute gave us the perfect animated version of Snake-Eyes. I didn’t bother to watch the most recent movie because I’ve been a fan of Snake-Eyes since the beginning of ARAH. So I can’t bear to see yet another childhood hero of mine ruined by modern Hollywood.

Amazing review Commander! Just a awesome figure is general. Very basic but one of my favorites. Thank you Commander!

Phenomenally thorough video!

I never had any of the vintage version. I liked him better in the comics. The only Snake Eyes figure I have is the classified 2 pack with Timber but want to get the individual classified figure and I bought the o-ring repro figure with Storm Shadow. I really like how they made sure to keep version 1 but include version 2 weapons.

Good 👍 one HCC, Thank you

I was confused at first about Snake Eyes in 82. I thought he was a bad guy, because he was in black and his name relates to a snake, so I thought he was Cobra, but his affiliation was G.I. Joe. He's the Boba Fett of G.I. Joe. In the Snake Eyes movie, he kept his friends close and enemies closer.

Excellent take👍🏾

I always thought his code-name was inspired by the BOMB, since he was always last but decisive to help G.I. Joe win battles, alongside his pet wolf Timber !!

The best version. By far.

Well done! I think he was my 3rd figure. I still have him straight arms and all lol

Awesome video... As Always!

Awesome video!!!

Burning question: will we ever get Snake Eyes in drag and Timber with the hat and sunglasses that can dance? lol

I wondered about the Johnny cash shirt until you threw out 'the man in black.' Way to draw it together.

great job!

Great overall review, but I do think it was an oversight not to mention the near copy retro figure released several months ago by Hasbro. The latest o-ring figure is at least as relevant to the Snake Eyes V1/1.5 figure arc as the 6” homage, and probably more so.

Great video

The classified commando Snake eyes that come with timber. Looks more like the ninja force Snake Eyes V4.

Did he also use the Moe Howard eye poke technique?? Great review.

I wonder how deep Hasbro will go with Snake Eyes in the Classified line. 2 years in they're already getting close to needing blue paint.

Hilarious “Snake Eyes is over exposed also this is my 3rd video on Snake Eyes” 😭😭😭

😎👍

That Snake-Eyes movie sounds like it got everything wrong at the same time.

To me, SnakeEyes is 82-85. If any future versions are made, they must be based on those first 3

As much as I rag on “oh my god, another Snake Eyes figure”, if we just talk about the CHARACTER, I love him. Am I kinda jealous he has like 79 versions? Yeah! But like, comic Snake Eyes is a great guy. He has a great story (except for maybe that Arashikage ninja trance… that was kinda BS)

I’m probably about to get it, but I’m sticking with my guns. Yeah, it sucked as a whole… but the Snake-Eyes from the Stars and Stripes box-set (97?) is probably my favorite version of Snakes.

Algorithm bump! You forgot to mention that black is slimming!

Are you sure Snake-eyes was avalible thorugh Hasbro direct, because I saw the catalogs on 3DJOES, those catalogs show everything that was avalible even the mail away figures (the only exceptions were the sears and toys r us exclusives) and I never saw Snake-eyes in the mail away sections for any year.

Yesterday I learned there is a Batman vs Snake Eyes comic miniseries. What the heck is that about?

Remember when Snake Eyes got kicked off a rooftop by Torch in season1 episode Cobra's Candidate? So much for master ninja.

I hope you figured out how to get the classified figure to look down. Mine has nonissue looking down enough to contemplate his bellybutton lint. You might need to rotate the neck as it is a separate piece and articulated as well.

One might say snake eyes is silent but deadly😂

I remember having the original snake eyes and Storm Shadow and then they made the second version

My first GIJOE figure.

Classified has already done enough Snake Eyes figures for a while but the V3 would probably be awesome in classified.

I'm glad Fury Force was scrapped in favor of G.I.Joe, because we wouldn't have Black Nick Fury later on in the 616 comics, plus it would proably mean White Nick Fury wouldn't be phased out of the comics, I never liked White Nick Fury he's an over authoritive jerk, plus he'll rip you off just to get what he wants, just ask Ironman. Edit: The name Spook for Fury Force was also the name of a lesser known Batman villain.

You forgot his proficiency in thumb wrestling lol

"Head band"? That "Head band" is the strap holding on his goggles...🙄

I’m a Vintage guy only… I have nearly every vintage figure up to 92 including multiples of various cobras for an authentic feel… I store them in tackle boxes stacked in the closet… I have been considering moving the collection to a display case … would the later figure stands with the name painted on it work for vintage figures… and if not what could I do to modify them to make them work???

With all the extra articulation, snake eyes is ready to start an onlyfans

I never owned version 1 or 2 had the 89 one for me though the 85 one stands out

Best video ever

Snake eyes is a ninja that works as a commando for the gi joe team

9:15 i think it actually called a cz scorpion

I have four snake eyes and eight storm Shadows

I have a blue verison of this figure.

Lol 👽 butt stuff 🤣 😂 true story Barney hill was abducted with his wife they were the first to be abducted their granddaughter is a ufc fighter Angela hill.

Only thing OG Snake eyes was missing was Timber.

Ef Larry- he bent the knee for that bull💩fake snake-eyes movie that was beyond ridiculousus

Are you ok??? How is your family?

Btw….. I reeeaaally tried to like it but that movie was 💩

i shared it in my snake eyes declassified page on facebook

The 6 inch figures gun looks like a nerd gun becuase hasbro was being cute.. and made the gun based on differnt nerf guns
