    The size difference between ML and Classified is a bit big, but not as bad as the difference between 6 and 7 inch. (Bacala posted a photo there with Spawn and Snake Eyes which is far worse than that of Deadpool)

    That Deadpool is pretty oversized though. I imagine Snake Eyes scales much better with the recently released vintage Deadpool.

    I put my review up last night. Great figure, tons of articulation and some great accessores. Would have liked to see a little more paint and I don't love the facemask, but what a great start.

    First off, I love the figure. Crazy pose-able and just looks awesome. Love all the accessories. Now, as for joints, the ab crunch on mine has some wiggle between ratchets. That's my only tiny complaint. But otherwise I give the figure a 10/10. Great start for a new line.

    Was just thinking today about how cool the Moray Hydrofoil snake logos would look as forearm tattoos. One on each side.

    Some of you diehards probably already know...Hasbro uploaded the old Sunbow miniseries on YouTube (Revenge of Cobra, Mass Device, Pyramid of Darkness). I've been rewatching Pyramid.

    I wish they'd put up Operation Dragonfire from the DIC toon up on youtube. G.I. Joe has been up on Tubi for free (with ads) for a while, but Dragonfire is the only thing missing.

    Still the best looking Snake Eyes we've ever gotten. With some creative posing it might still work, sorta.

    Use the vintage Deadpool. It's closer in size. And it's a better version than that one

    At least Snake Eyes et al will look fantastic with Star Wars Black Series.

    I think Classified Snake Eyes will scale perfectly with the articulated icons ninjas.

    Yeah, pics floating around on IG of them together. They look great.

    Personally I feel like he works with Legends well enough. Could be taller but it still works.

    Exactly! I will never pose any of my figures, let alone those two just standing straight next to each other like that.

    I just think of G.I. joes as just great soldiers and not the larger than life heros like the marvel legends.

    Yeah. SGT. Slaughter could be a mutant though the way he whacks people around.

    I see them as like Frank Castle, Hawkeye, Black Widow and Nic Fury among others. Just extraordinary people that can only really exist in comic type fiction.
