Snake Eyes is a custom that is often done with an emphasis on the ninja side of him. I wanted to get away from that as much as possible, but still hint at it. I really wanted to go for the Commando role for him and on my Special Operations team he is the demo man, much like he was originally as a Commando for the original 13. I did want him to be both masked and unmasked, so I had to have removable heads. I was never happy with versions of his masked head, so I made my own. I also wanted to show his scarred face and I liked the look of him with a boonie hat. I also wanted to hint at his past with Storm Shadow and the Arishikage Ninja Clan so I chose the Storm Shadow V2 arms for the symbol. I also gave him the short Katana for the same reason.

that looks production-level good, Chuck. Yes, a lot of your work is THAT good of course but looking at the sleeves arms and trousers of SE there, I can't see a custom in it all, just the high quality paint work, accessory compliments, and plastic grade that Hasbro would put into their mass produced figures if the budgets for a every figure allowed for it.
found a perfect balance between his two personas too
