G.I.-JOE: Retaliation Movie Preview Amazon.com 4-Pack Review (Part 5)

Welcome to the fourth installment of my
G.I.-JOE: Retaliation Movie Preview Amazon.com 4-Pack Review!

Today we will start off with the last (but not least) figure for this boxset review:

Snake Eyes

Here we have G.I.-Joe's silent but deadly ninja/commando: Snake Eyes.

Ever since his first appearance in the first series of G.I.-Joe 3 3/4-Inch action figures, Snake Eyes has always sported the all black look.
Funfact: Originally he was going to have a camouflage pattern but due to financial restraints, Hasbro ended up making him in all black plastic with no paint applications at all. Thanks to that we were given one of the most recognized characters if the G.I.-Joe series.

Over the years, he has had 60 different versions released since 1982 and most of them still retain that all black look he's become known for.

How does this version stand against the others and what makes this version worth picking up or not?

Welcome to the fourth installment of my
G.I.-JOE: Retaliation Movie Preview Amazon.com 4-Pack Review!

Today we will start off with the third figure of the set:

 Storm Shadow

 

Cobra Commander's personal bodyguard and the ninja brother of Snake Eyes.

Storm Shadow's look hasn't changed too much over the years and usually he always wears his white duds.

How much has he changed in this version, and is it for the best or worst?

Welcome to the thrid installment of my
G.I.-JOE: Retaliation Movie Preview Amazon.com 4-Pack Review!

Today we will start off with the second figure of the set:

 Cobra Commander

Here we have the fearsome leader of the terrorist organization: Cobra.

Cobra Commander has always been one of my favorite characters from the G.I.-Joe series for

various reasons like his look,his personality, and his position of power.

His color is usually blue (and various shades of it) but he has also worn outfits of various colors and designs over the years. He's also worn black plenty of times in the past and always looks in it.


So how does Cobra Commander look now that he's back in black?

G.I.-JOE: Retaliation Movie Preview Amazon.com 4-Pack Review (Part 2)

Welcome to the second installment of my
G.I.-JOE: Retaliation Movie Preview Amazon.com 4-Pack Review!

Today we will start off with the first figure of the set:

 Roadblock (as played by Dwyane Johnson AKA The Rock).

The Rock comes with his ROCKet Launcher.

Roadblock is the G.I.-Joe's heavy arms specialist who's been known to speak in rhymes (at least in the cartoon) and can cook one a hell of meal.
Though he didn't have much impact on me as a character back as a kid, I think the movie's really breathing new life into this character which is causing me to actually have interest in him.
Also casting The Rock to play as Roadblock was a brilliant idea because besides having star-power, he's an all around awesome guy. Can't wait to see how he portrays one of the Joes!
