G.I. Joe ARAH the cartoon series is by far my all time favorite television show ,past and present.The constant thickening of action packed plots,exciting characters and a soundtrack laden with funky drum beats and bass guitar riffs was enough to make any kids head spin.Heck i go nuts watching it now.As a kid i would always go to school the next day to discuss past episodes and what funny or cool things certain characters did in them.Quick Kick was a popular topic of discussion with his crazy antics and acting aspirations.Roadblock and Bazooka were always talked about at one point or another and Cobra Commander’s perpetual whining about a foiled plan always drew laughs.Yet and still no one made bigger headlines those weekday school mornings than Snake Eyes!Those much anticipated head-to-head confrontations with Storm-Shadow were legendary and the fact that he never spoke was too cool!Watching Snake eyes on television was one thing but owning the elusive action figure with Timber (his pet Husky) damn near made you the” Godfather” of Joe collecting.Seriously if five kids asked you to spend the nigh that weekend and one of them owned a Snake Eyes figure,the latter usually took precedence.I never owned this Snake Eyes as a kid but was fortunate enough to pick one up a few years ago on line for a pretty decent price(considering how hard it is to find one loose under 20 dollars).He’s in pretty good condition with tight joints and although Timber was included with the figure none of his accessories were.
1985 Snake Eyes w/Timber
Its amazing how far action figures have come, great pick up.
I just gave away my 25th anniversary Snake-Eyes w/Timber because am wanting a original or reissue of the Commando version.
JDub:Yeah they have,and the amount of characters available to choose from is insane.
jboypac: I’ve bid many a times on that vintage commando version and always came up short.
