While I like the SE, I have to go with Big Ben.

Yeah, about the 1991 Snake-Eyes. My take on that -- best uniform design, worst color scheme. You want to do a cool version of that, track down the "Night Fighting Guile" figure from the Street Fighter movie line, that used the same mold, paint the little area of flesh around the neck area black, find a 1991 Snake-Eyes head, paint it black, paint the goggle lenses the color of your choice, and assemble. Quick and easy custom with darned impressive results.

Or just use the head from the Desert Patrol Squad, Winter Ops or HAS set -- no painting necessary ;-)

Well, true, but I made mine before any of those sets came out... :-D

I had to go with Dusty. This is a year of extremes with some great figs, some great molds with bad colors and some just bad overall figures. Big Ben is a classic figure, too. I have fond memories of him from when I was a kid. (kind of...) and he was one of the first figures I tracked down when I first started buying vintage Joes. But, the arctic version worked so well for his mold that I'll hold out and vote for him the next time his mold comes up.

I cant say that I really like any of these fig's. But since I got to pick one it was a toss up between red star and low light. I picked low light since he didnt have any votes yet.

1. Big Ben. Great commando-look. Just so cool........
2. Red Star. Nice accesoires and ditto figure!
3. Heavy Duty + Tracker. HD is a solid figure, but his weapons are a bit over the top. Tracker also looks fine, but his colours aren't exactly jungle.
