Man, 25 years, time really flies., August 18, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
Okay, I'm a man in my early thirties who played with G.I.Joes back in the 1980s. I used to have to listen to the adults around me talk about how when they were kids, their G.I.Joes were the size of Ken dolls, and had realistic facial hair. So what, I liked my G.I.Joes! Besides, being roughly four inches tall made it easier to have them fight in all their various land, air, and sea vehicles (the 80s really shoved a lot of toys at us, now that I think about it).
"Enough nostalgia" you say, "Tell me about the toy today!" I'm happy to say that the 25th Anniversary G.I.Joe action figures are still pretty cool. They're still very poseable, and even come with little black bases to stand on (they even have their code names on them). It looks like they changed the waist/torso movement a bit, but it's an improvement, in my opinion. Nice level of detail, the same amount of durability from back then, and a few weapons to choose from.
For you collectors out there, the package illustration is a nice throwback to back in the day, only with silver trim around the cardboard. And yes, on the back they still have the cut-out files!
The bottomline is these are fun action figures that every boy (or girl, why not?) should get a chance to play with. I always found that they encouraged creativity among kids, I think a lot of it has to do with their small size and poseability; it's fun to take little people and act out crazy scenarios with them. When you're a kid, you can do that, but when you're an adult, you make sure no one's watching! And for those of you who don't know, Snake Eyes is one of the coolest characters in the G.I.Joe pantheon. And now you know, and knowing is half the battle.

Almost as good as the original 3.5'', September 19, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
A re-imagined reproduction of the original 3.5'' Snake Eyes.
I was impressed with the new design and the new levels of articulation.
I grew up with the 3.5 inch Joes and though I don't play with toys anymore, I couldn't help but open these up and put them in cool poses... Really brings back memories.

Snake Eyes GI Joe 25th Anniversary Comic Series, June 5, 2009
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
YO*JOE!=== Blast from the past. This Snake Eyes has to be the best figure in the new collection. From a nostalgic perspective, this figure fulfills everything you would want Hasbro to do when re-releasing Snake Eyes. From the illustrative graphic down to Timbers beady little eyes this toy embodies what Joe figures are all about. Get one, and you will know that you picked up a sweet throwback! YO*JOE====!

Snake Eyes with Timber Reissue Is So Cool, October 28, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
This Snake Eyes 2 reissue is pretty cool. Snake Eyes was always one of the baddest, dangerous and most mysterious members of the G.I. Joe universe for those of us who grew up in the 1980's and played with the figures, watched the cartoon and read Larry Hama's best selling comic book. While the original Snake Eyes figure was one of the coolest in the original series the second Snake Eyes figure was one of the most highly sought after in the line with additions like his wolf Timber, katana sword, uzi sub machine gun and combat knife as accessories. Fast forward 20 years or so & i'm browsing through the store today and stumble upon a Snake Eyes reissue! Even though i don't collect or play with toys anymore i'll admit i was greatly intrigued, the packaging, drawing of Snake Eyes and even the file card were just as i remembered them back in the 1980's! The detail in the figure was better then i remembered and a wave of pure nostalgia washed over me. I quickly purchased it with a big grin on my face and rushed home to open it! The poseability of the figure is superior to the original and i had fun geeking out and putting him in cool poses. Thank You Hasbro for reissueing this great part of my childhood.

The figure I never owned, October 30, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
Since I was a kid I searched for this figure of Snake Eyes for years. In the UK it was hard to find. So when I heard that they were re-issuing it again I knew I had to get it, maybe that sounds rather sad but hey we all have interests of difference.
It is doubtful that I will be playing with this figure as I am a few years older now, but it does take pride of place next to my computer screen. It is, without doubt a very cool figure, as everyone knows that Snake Eyes is a great character.
I don't know what else to say other then I reccommend this figure to anyone and the others too.

New GI Joe connects our grandsons with their deployed dad, July 25, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
My son is in the US Army in Afghanistan. I found his old GI Joes and his sons got interested in playing with them. I was so glad to find out that the new 25th anniversary ones are coming out again. The boys are having fun with my son by email and messenger to talk about old and new GI Joe play.

SNAKE EYES, November 4, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
SNAKE EYES need I say more. This is one of my childhood favorites next to Storm Shadow. If you want to be a kid again, even if you are 35 years old, get it. I will keep this one in the package and let someone in the future know how much remembering your childhood is. I plan to pass this on to my child if I have one, if not bury it with me!!!

great memories, January 17, 2008
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
Snake Eyes was by far the best toy I ever owned, and probably the hardest to find. I don't collect toys, but when I saw this one I had to buy it immediately. I haven't taken him out of the package, but I can tell by looking that he would stay together if I were weird and played with toys.

I bought 3., September 4, 2007
Durability: Fun: Educational:
This review is from: GI Joe 25th Anniversary Snake Eyes Action Figure (Toy)
I liked this so much I bought 3. At first I was disappointed in the quality. The preproduction images where much better than the toy as usual. But once I opened it up I was very pleased with it. It's too bad they are so close to having a 5 star toy here, there are minor details that hold it back. Much better than the older version. Very cool.
