I used to play with toys when I was a kid, and lots of em’. But my all time favorite was defintely G.I. Joe. And I’m not talking about the 1960’s doll versions that parents rave about, I’m talking about the good quality ones that surfaced around the 1980’s, where you could actually move every joint of the figurine, incluing the wrists, elbows, and knees (and they had the bootleg black rubber band holding the torso together).
I must have had every single last one of these G.I. Joe figures, including a grip of the vehicles and accessories. I also loved the TV show and the movies, just good stuff. My favorite character, just like every other dorky guy, was Snake Eyes. Now he went through a few different costumes, but he always looked like a bad ass. I had been hearing that they were making a motion picture of G.I. Joe (set to come out in 2009), and was at first pretty disappointed since Hollywood without fail has successfully destroyed any classic comic book and 
TV show remake. However, I did just come across these photos released of the new ‘Snake Eyes’ from the new motion picture, and I must say that it looks damn cool. I hope they don’t ruin this film or have Paul Walker in it. Well I read that Dennis Quad is in it, so I know that’s bad enough. And remember, “knowing is half the battle”!
Below is a picture of just one of the old ‘Snake Eyes’ versions (toys):
