Post subject:  RoC Snake Eyes and others review
Last Friday I received the upcoming RoC Paris Pursuit Snake Eyes mint on card.
Let's just say that he didn't stay in his bubble for long.

He comes with Timber, a G-36 (I think), a pistol, a knife and a very cool katana and sheat. Unlike any previous SE we've ever seen at retail, this one wears a nice trench coat.

What came as a surprise is that his mask is flat. No sculpted mouth or nose like we've seen on movie stills. Could he wear two kinds of mask in the movie?

The visor is very nice. Instead of being sculpted, its an add piece of acrylic which really creates the illusion that he's wearing a visor and not a metal piece in front of his face.

But enough with my words and on with the pictures

The review doesn't stop here because today I got some loose RoC figures which are very nice.

Hawk who sports a cool shoulder holster and gun belt

Stone who has the best bare arms/glove combo we've seen since the beginning of the 25A collection imo.

Breaker

I'm thrilled at the upcoming RoC figures and I can't wait to see them at retails. Let's hope they'll be as cool as these ones.

Hawk is the only one that really stands out for me. Storm Shadow isn't bad but I like the masked version better. Stone is bad either, but is pretty bland overall.

Nice quick review. I like the Paris Pursuit Snakes. Definitely snagging that one.

Can you pop a Flint head on the Stone and Hawk bodies and post some pics?

These look really cool. I actually always wanted an SE in trench coat, and the movie line delivers. Hawk & Stone look great, and I agree that Stone makes a nice stand-in for Flint. Breaker looks kind of bland, not bad, just not as cool as the others. Looking forward to grabbing these.

Trench Coat Snakes is a win.

Something about Storm Shadow seems out of place to me, and it may be as simple as the holster on his leg. The rest of the figure is cool, both as Stormy and as custom fodder. That head has a lot of custom potential.

Hawk looks nice. I like the T-shirt/Camo combo, and while it seems to be proportioned correctly for Quaid, I wouldn't mind seeing the same thing in a little more bulky of a torso.

Stone seems off to me. Maybe it's that the head is too generic. Maybe it's that of all these figs, this one looks closest to having man-boobs at the mid torso joint. I don't know. But for some reason this figure seems more like a knock-off figure than a Joe to me.

I've liked that Breaker figure from back when it was first previewed. Again, the head has a ton of custom potential, and the body, while slender, might allow for some versatility in the custom area (same can be said of the Hawk figure I just complained about too).

My wife is going to kill me, given how many of these I'll be buying.

Thanks for the pictures.
While I like the idea of Snake-Eyes with a trench coat the limiting hard plastic one is a big detractor for me.
Hawk, Stone and Breaker all look great to me (although Stone will become my movie version Flint with the right web gear and head swap). The black shirts and camo pants is working for me as a nice unified while still individual look.
The Storm Shadow with a head swap (or maybe just a hair repaint) would be great for making a Simon LeBon (Duran Duran lead singer) custom figure complete with '80s version of the future clothing.
