Stopped at TRU after work and was surprised to see the wave 1 '07 visored Snake-Eyes and the v2 style Storm Shadow on the pegs. I figured they'd found someone's stash, and since I'd been wanting them for parts I picked 'em up. Something made me look closer though, and I realized that SE had the corrected crotch . . .

and that the other Joes on the shelf had the new 2-peg stands . . .

So I snagged what they had. They also had a Trooper, a hooded CC, a Serpentor and a Scarlett on the pegs, but there's no way to know whether this was old stock (which is my guess) or were shipping with the new variations. I compared the backer cards on these to my old ones, and couldn't find any differences there. The SE fix is easy to spot, and you can just look through the side of the bubble to see if they have two-pegs on the stand or not, so they're not tough to notice if you're looking. Dunno if anyone else cares, but I had to grab 'em just for the 2-peg stands, they're simply worlds better than the one peggers. I'm just curious what else is packed in with these three, whether it's simply more reissues of existing figures, or if there's more variants to be had?

Not old stock. That assortment has been shipping to Wal-Mart & Target for a few weeks now.

I grabbed the SE a few weeks ago. He's awesome. Especially since he's got a backpack hole, now. Now I've got a super poseable, backpacked, SE v2.

Well hell, here I thought I found something new. Way to suck the fun out of it guys :p


Actually, thanks for the heads up on SE's backpack hole, I can't say I'd have noticed that before I took him apart.

Is the new V2 fixed crotch Snake Eyes black now instead of dark gray?
He looks darker in the photos you posted but that could just be the lighting.

Wow, I'm glad I sold my extra MOC 25th Snake Eyes while the ebay rates were still ridiculously high. I'm guessing they're plummeting now. Any word on if there's a fixed SE w/ black timber?

Meanwhile, I've got to agree on the 2-peg stand thing. My Lt. Torpedo came with one, and it makes the one-peg stands look like crap. Now I just need to find something to do with my gigantic bag full of the one pegs.

I kinda hope :hasbro: will come out with blank Joe and blank :cobra: stands here before long like they did with the Star Wars stands on HTS. Like a 20 Joe 20 Cobra pk or somethng of that sort.

They finally fixed him?
Too late, I already painted a V2 head black and put it on a wave 5 body...

Its cool news though.

My V2 SS from the same refresher wave came with a double-peg stand, but doesn't have a backpack hole. Odd.

I love my new V2. He's awesome. I just wish he came with a retooled ARAH V2 backpack.
At least MJ has a sword, and awesome MP7 coming.
