"This will be our first collaboration project with BAIT, the North American premium retailer for the West Coast region.
Snake Eyes, the iconic ninja commando from the G.I. Joe series, will be the first product from G.I. Joe×TOA Heavy Industries!

=====
A project to resurrect an old-generation soldier using his DNA info has been requested to TOA Heavy Industries from the Arashikage Clan.
After a successful DNA restoration close to 80%, the soldier was then resurrected using the Synthetic Human body with the restored DNA info.
Even though the memory restoration was incomplete, the soldier became to successfully accomplish numerous covert missions on his own.

In the midst of a rescue mission for captured engineers, the soldier is ambushed by a mysterious white shadow…"


Looks like a bigger S6 figure with plastic body and fabric pants.

It looks very Metal Gear. If there were a 4" version he and Retaliation Storm Shadow could be buddies.

This must be in direct response to the overwhelming success of the Gentle Giant figures....

Kind of a shame about those, actually. If they'd gotten around to a second year and incorporated Swivel-Arm Battle Grip, I would've given some consideration to Destro, depending on the price tag (what did those things cost, anyway?)

This new 12" Snake-Eyes is, doubtless, one more example of high-priced collector-targeted merchandise that just simply is not in my budget. :-/
