ha, I was never big on G.I. Joe but it seems a bit overdue for Hollywood to poopy out a live action summer blockbuster 3 hour murder party.
did this guy always have that red iching mark on his plastic body? i don't know the details but there's a water/north over fire/south symbol going on there. i wonder what his future holds?...
Your worst nightmare, meet Kent. Kent, your worst nightmare...
So yeah, I'm rarely interested in jumbo-sized Hollywood spectacle and epic-length...homicide ho-downs?
BUT, I was pretty into Snake-Eyes as a kid. That character probably influenced my decision to move to Japan and become a ninja-mercenary bound only to my honor and thirst for revenge. That and Pocky--loved that stuff!
Yeah that is an I Ching symbol on his arm.

There's another ninja guy (but he's on the C.O.B.R.A. side) with one as well, named Storm Shadow that was my other favorite. Here's the one I had:

I even had a choose-your-own-adventure novel based around him and his shifting alliances. So rad.
A white ninja suit covered in tetris shapes? I would be much more excited about movie stills of that guy.
The only G.I.Joe figure I ever had was Shipwreck

I have no idea how he came into my hands as I was never that interested in human-shaped toys aside from Mask. He did come with one fantastic little parrot that I still keep around, though.
Oh yeah, I had that same Shipwreck!
