I kind of like the carded 25th version with the peaked visor. Not so big on the one with the rounded visor, and the anklets. The black commando version is pretty good too.

I've liked V1,2,23,30,41 and I'm looking forward to Resolute 1

I've disliked V4 and all the ninja force versions.

The rest have been meh.

I really like V9 as it was my first version of the character. I also like the one from the Heavy Assault Squad pack. Post-RAH I have to go with V23 and the first two 25th versions.

I like the Winter Ops one too, but you can only have one true favorite (unless your name is Richard Christy) :shifty:

I use v26 as a different character anyway, although I don't use my favorite (v4) as Snake Eyes either :whistling:

The whole body, other than the head of course, is from Sub Zero

No customs, I just use the figure as a different character

huh that sub zero v2 is pretty cool, never seen it before, altough brown's an odd color choice on blue. I would go with black.

Unequivocally , version2! Iconic, to say the least. Remember how cool he looked on those Mike Zeck comic covers? As for the toy: The sculpting, the colors, the gear, the card-art, everything just came together to create the perfect storm of bad-assery. Perhaps the greatest action figure of all time... I love you :snakeeyes2:

A very close second would be the last new sculpt version they did. Again, an excellent sculpt (which was not that common in the new-sculpt days), great colors, awesome accessories (how cool is that folding-stock mini-uzi). Admittedly, it had a few shortcomings, such as his poorly done hands that hinder his ability to hold his gear normally. While his ankle-holster didn't hold his knife too well, it is the perfect fit for any small handgun. This may be a minor nitpick, but the sword he came with was too bland and clunky. But Marauder John saved the day by giving us a 2-handed version of his original scimitar, which goes with this fig like peanut butter goes with chocolate! Sadly no card art to speak of, unless maybe you count the Bradstreet comic art that supposedly influenced this figure.

Version 3 was cooler in concept than in execution. Actually, the 25th version was an improvement and lives up to that concept! (And it pains me to say that!)

Hmmm... the ninja force figure was actually pretty cool. If it hadn't been totally ruined by the lack of o-ring and bad colors, it could have been a really cool figure. Cool little details, awesome headsculpt, too bad. :cry:

I also love a custom I made, which is basically version 4 in black, and another custom I got off e-bay a while ago.

And I have to admit, the 25th version 1 is a great looking figure.

My least favorite is listed as version 17 on YoJoe. Uninspired design, awful sculpting.

Oh yeah, I don't consider the T-crotch figures as Joes. And I don't count or buy repaints or frankenjoes, so there you go. Don't hate em, just not interested.

Wow, I can't believe I wrote so much about a little action figure! Must be love... :snakeeyes_versions:

I was not really a big fan of the ninja's in the joeverse,

but verison 1.5 as it was the baddest toy of the day

I think 23 was an amazing swan song for the o ring line

and 35 for being a really good looking extreme enviorment joe

Favorite: Version 34. An updated, hyper detailed version of the Snake-Eyes figure I had when I was little. From the knives on the chest to the earpiece to the uzi on his leg this is the ultimate version of the badass ninja commando.

Least Favorite: Version 2 by far. I never had it or even saw it as a kid but I wanted it very badly. Got it a few years ago and realized just what a horrible figure it is. Funky mouth, chubby torso, no boots, dumpy profile. Even though it's considered the iconic Snake-Eyes, nearly every piece of the figure is just horrible. BLECH.

Favorite version of Snake Eyes. That's a tough one.

I know that the T-crotch green Snake Eyes from GvC would be my least favorite.
That figure didn't even feel like a GI Joe figure.

My favorite one might be V3 because it was always special during my childhood since my V1 got broken up at the shoulder joint by my clumsy cousin and I never got V2.

A special mention goes to the 25th anniversary incarnations of Snake Eyes, V34 in particular is a great rendition of V3 with some great improvements.

I just got a v34 Snake Eyes for free, so I'll see. I'm not a 25th fan, but decided to get one after reading this thread
