Hasbro 12" GI Joe Snake Eyes v.2.0

Here's my version of "GI Joe: The Rise of Cobra" 12-inch Snake Eyes upgraded. I basically added stuff on him to beef him up - see my previous post for the original Hasbro version.











Never liked Hasbro's shiny body without clothes. When Hasbro originally produced 1/6 scale 12" action figures, they wore 1/6 scale uniforms or costumes and had accessories. I decided on put on something for Snake Eyes in case he catch a cold - Hasbro's original version had nipples! The outfit also added bulk to him and now his arms don't look scrawny.

I also added an extra belt with extra weapons and accessories. Had to change his pants and boots as Hasbro's original pants was too tight and the boots too small.


I also gave Snake Eyes a Heckler & Koch MP7A1, besides the Uzi he came with.

    Hell yeah! You did some justice to this guy..It shows a lil' effort goes a long way. This is how Hasbro should have done it. Knee pads are a great addition; the default trousers way too boring..Great post Alex

    hi "NONE" I didn't get the Sideshow version either because I felt that it costs too much. Glad you like this version I've done :) As for accessories, you can try some on-line stores near you
