G.I. Joe Classified Deluxe Snake Eyes by Hasbro
“Pork Chop Sandwiches!” Hasbro has brought back everyone’s favorite Greatest American Heroes for 2020 with G.I. Joe Classified! This is the first time G.I. Joe action figures have been released in 6-inch scale. The first figure available to purchase, through pre-order, was Snake Eyes on the Hasbro Pulse website as a Deluxe Version. I was lucky enough to snag one before they sold out online.
The Deluxe Snake Eyes figure arrives in a collectors box with some embossed artwork of a wolf and dragon heads covered in a slipcase with the same design. Inside the box is Snake Eyes in the standard G.I. Joe Classified window box which is encased in foam. Also included in the collectors box is an exclusive Arashiakge Ninja Clan weapons rack with 9 additional weapons. There’s also a collectible print of the Deluxe Box suitable for framing in your toy dojo.
Snake Eyes V2 1985
The figure itself is highly articulated with great attention to detail. (A benefit of the 1:12 scale) These 6-inch G.I. Joe figures will fit right in with Hasbro’s Marvel Legends line. This Snake Eyes appears to be more inspired by his 1985 V2 incarnation rather than the 1982 V1 version that Hasbro Pulse lists as the inspiration for the design. Many online reviews weren’t happy with the design of this Snake Eyes, but I was definitely pleased with it, because the V2 version of him was my childhood favorite. All this figure needed was his wolf companion Timber that was included with his 3 3/4 inch ‘80s counterpart.
I could go on about the awesomeness and high poseablilty of this version of the world’s best silent Ninja Commando, but I’d rather just show you through the over 30 photos I took below.
