Unfortunately I think I'm gonna return my Snake Eyes =(
Sideshow sent me one that had a few errors that needed to be swapped out for me to be happy, but they said that I had to send it back before they would send a replacement - thus I couldn't get a second statue and cherry pick the best pieces of the two to make one great statue. And they only offered me a replacement for that first one, which didn't leave me any options on what I could do. So I sent the first one back, got the replacement, and there are still similar errors with that second statue that I'm not comfortable having.
Now SS is offering me another replacement, a full on return, or to keep what I have and give me $60 rewards credits... =(
I saw this one at NYCC this week. I had never seen it before. It was really high on a shelf but I was blown away by it. I don’t know if I could quite call myself a casual GI Joe fan. I have all the Marvel TPBs and the animated series box set but I splurged on a few Joe paintings a few years back that probably kicks me out of the casual fan section. Never been the biggest Snake Eyes fan but I would consider picking this one up. I’m a huge Destro fan but that statue didn’t do much for me in the photos I’ve seen...I’ll stick to my Palisades bust for Destro.
Got both of mine regular, EX. both are super duper awesome like SS. P1 did such great work,. I going to have to sell them like SS, with PCS having TF, P1 Robotech Battleoid that I wasn't getting until they showed Roy Folker. Bailing on most licenses and buying so few statues isn't emough to justify buying more statues, so have to sell more.
congrats on a bad ass piece! for me there will be no better snake eyes, it is just about perfect
timber is unfortunately an absolute eyesore an odd misstep for P1 as hes executed really poorly - from design to sculpt to final product. i opted to leave him off altogether and hide the key hole with the gun of a fallen enemy (or one on the run )
i agree about the sword hilts, another strange oversight but personally i think he looks better with swords in hand so its a nonissue for me
