If these are being released in the rumored 5 packs, I can kind of see Hasbro putting V2 Snake Eyes in a different pack to boost sales. Thing about it is, would a fan who only wanted Snake Eyes pay for all 5 figures? I think most fans would prefer 25 different characters. Anyway, as I said before, I prefer SE V1, it's the outfit he wore in all my favorite appearances, cartoon and comic, and this update is really cool.

You know what would be really funny. If we got a clear, red plastic SE that catered to "radioactive" SE from the cartoon! Ok, ok, I'll shut up now.

I was working hard at work this week and now it's the weekend and I've missed all the news about new figures!? Serves me right for not checking this out sooner. Instead of asking questions that are probably already answered elsewhere, I'll just keep reading.

It will be great to see some of these new figures alongside anything from 1982-2006, just to see how they scaled them. I still plan to pick them up, but it would be fantastic if they are close enough to pose (or wedge into) vehicles we already own....

This trooper and his Dragunov sniper rifle look ready to ruin someone's day.

I like it, but the head and face just seem...weird. It wouldn't be the first of the series I'd get, but I'd definitely get it.

The chicken legs kind of throw the figure off, but I like it. The MARS briefcase is a nice touch too.

Normally, when I see a new version of Snake, i just kind of shrug and move on, because there's about a million of them.

This one is different. It literally made my jaw drop. This one, the Commander and the Cobra trooper are probably my top 3.

I think we will see the 25th figures in retail (I think too much money's gone into them to not have mass distribution), and depending on how they sell, we will either get more than 25 figures, or it will be the end of 3 3/4 figures for a while.

I like it. Here's to hoping we get a Viper of the same quality.
