Talking Point: Flame Toys Snake Eyes 

They are shiwing up at Ollies stores for $12.99. I just picked one up along with a Bandai Star Wars Boba Fett midel for the same price. Its a great price to pick up a second one if you're still thinking about it.

good tip about the ankle/ pretty cool figure, i like the idea of building my own. I think i would want to customize the paint a little...

Glad I could "laugh with you" about the ankle joint, lol. I was thinking about getting the bikes. But I didn't realize they were so much smaller than classified. On the other hand, I do have a sizeable SE\SS collection 🤔

Thanks

I just got one for $12.49 + taxes and it came out to just under $13 after taxes. I too broke the ankle joint but I fixed it by using a micro drill and putting a metal pin that I made from a paper clip and gluing it into the holes and it retains the articulation. I’ve learned a lot of ways to repair model kits and action figures by putting a metal pin into the broken area and reinforcing the broken piece or pieces. This kit has also been fun to paint the little details on it and making it look a lot more realistic.

When you assembled him did you file anything down or use an xacto knife to cut the pieces from the plastic holder or did you twist them off with your hands? Also what type of pliers were you using and when did you use them?

My mileage does indeed vary on this one. The "added" value of assembling the kit doesn't really appeal to me, and the design strikes me as just another Snake Eyes. I'd like to see something either super accurate to the original toy line, or something new and interesting. As it is, this one sits in that nebulous limbo that isn't quite in either category. But, as always, good job on the video.

I liked him but was surprised that he wasn’t 6” tall. I want to try the StormShadow

I wonder if hasbros license didn't allow them to make these kits 6in. I would have been all over these if they were because they do look nice.

$40 in the US would be big money here in Canada. I’d rather spend that on vintage goodness.

It does look bette4r than I expected. My local comic book store has one and the motorcycle for sale. I might buy the figure but I will pass on the motorcycle.

how did u get the dam pieces together on step 11, ive been trying for teh past 20minutes and afraid the peg is gonna break, those pieces are super tiny for my big fingers >

I just bought one none of the things fit and its a waste of time and its very janky
