Silent, but Deadly

by

Sideshow Toys has finally revealed in full lighting their truly awesome 12″ Snake Eyes. Feast your eyes upon his badassedness:

There are a ton more pics of this bad boy over on Sideshow’s site, so go there and check them out after you read my world shattering thoughts.

Like any good commando, Snake Eyes comes with a whole slew of equipment. I’m not going to put the whole list on here, because it’s simply too much. Some of the highlights include several different guns, his ninja swords, interchangeable hands, and various grenades and knives. This guy can give Chuck Norris the night terrors.

As I feared, he carries one hell of a price tag. He’s a whopping 119 dollars. It might as well be 119 Faberge eggs or 119 virgins, it’s an almost impossibly high price tag for me to justify buying a 12″ figure, even if it is the cat’s boner. I’m starting to believe that this is the year that the toy companies want to finally destroy me. First there’s the two big Hasbro toys and now this. The wife says that if I absolutely need a Sideshow G.I. Joe figure and can figure out a way to pay for one without selling her to the Russian mafia I can get a Storm Shadow when he comes out, but man this Snake Eyes is calling me bad. I need to figure out a way I can make some cash quick. Maybe I should finally break down and go to my email junk folder for stock tips and various other money making opportunities that I’ve been putting off…

    I hear ya. This figure looks fantastic, no doubt. But $120 for one figure, no matter how awesome, is some kind of nerd line I can’t make myself cross.

    While entirely badass … I have a hard time justifying it as well. And it’s essentially a really expensive Ninja Ken Doll. It looks great, but I’ll have to pass. Besides the 25th Anniversary line is just killing my wallet. And I have yet to pick up wave 8!

    How can he possibly be “silent” when he’s carrying all that shit around?

    Looks awesome!

    With all those pouches, it’s like a Liefeld drawing come to life!

    — except with accurate anatomy.
