GI JOE 2: Retaliation: Snake Eyes Costume Info Thread

[Rusty85]

Anyone got any good pics of how the rubber is on his arms? I originally thought that suit covered his entire arms and body but noticed that it looks like it only covered the outside of his arms and a little bit of the inside.

Looking forward to everyone's input.

Ray Park hated the first suit. He couldn't move in it, and he felt his performance suffered from it. I believe he's the driving factor in the suit change, but I could be wrong. I made my visor from stainless strips and black aluminum mesh. Welding the sucker was a pain in the neck!

Here is my first costume 7 months ago with Larry Hama, i just bought a new body upper chest suit few weeks ago to make a update but i have not the time for it.

The first visor is just a clear sheet with stripes on it...very blah. It should be layered like venetian blinds, or have a series of slits, or whatever, to give it that medieval knight vibe.

As for the rubber suit, yes they copied that painting...and I think it's a lousy painting, so there you go. If they'd done a head to toe copy of the Reloaded cover above, that would have been a better choice imo.

Pretty cool suit! What's the new suit look like?

 

[Maulfett]

It is almost the same like my old Snake eyes costume (photo above) but it covers more my complete upper body like a shirt with long sleve, so i will cut the area exactly like the SE from rise of the cobra movie.

They realy nailed him this time.:cool

Really?

I don't EVER remember him wearing pads and a motorcycle helmet. :confused

I think it looked more like the comic last time.

He should be wearing ninja boots. his outfit should be cloth and his visor should be attatched to his face not floating out there.

I love Ray Park. I've been lucky to hang out with him several times. I remember when he first got the part I was SOO excited!!! :cool

I just don't like this at all. He looks like a mix of tron and well... he just looks like a motorcycle rider more than a ninja.

I think the fan suit that is on this page is WAAAY better than either movie.

So in just doing some quick checks on the net for a base for the shirt, I came across these as possibilities...

Not exact in match but I would say at least in the same ballpark.

 

[Rusty85]

Nice finds man! I've been looking for something close but so far nada! Maybe some good behind the scenes shots will come out soon :love

 

[tcsmit29]

I'm disappointed that they've eliminated the bandolier/baldric across the chest, as that's a signature look for Snake-Eyes. :unsure

Agreed! Sure Snake-Eyes is a ninja but he is also a soldier/commando/bad@ss. He needs the tactical gear, ammo pouches, pistol on his side, and uzi. Or maybe an MP5.

 

[Rusty85]

Here's a cap of his new sword, I'm liking the design, hope someone puts this baby out!

 

[cayman shen]

IS that his new sword, or just something we see him draw in one clip of the trailer? I thought I saw a black scabbard in other scenes (thought the sword itself looks the same, I grant).

Good observation. From the screen caps it seems to be the sword with the "wooden" grip, but the scabbard does look black.

Not to get off topic, but in the trailer it looks as though there is a sword that's broken during SE's confrontation w/ SS. Is this blade a possible replacement for SE's sword from ROC?

 

[Rusty85]

I'm gonna guess its the same sword but that particular black scabbard is connected to his costume since he's got it when he's being arrested.

 

[BlackKaos]

I would tend to agree that this sword is probably his because you can see him with it in several screen shots, like this one. It also looks like he has a ninja sai, possibly a pair.

I would say that the new suit is mirrored after these two suits. The chin strap is on the one is identical and the visor and overall shape of helmet is similar in the sigma 6 version.

 

[crabra comander]

Well I like it! Baldric, Shmaldric! He needs to be swift and deadly, with no clunky grenades and ammo pouches! He is just straight up Ninja niceness!

 

[Rusty85]

Same here man, I can't wait to get some better pictures with good lighting. Nice find on the suits there Black Kaos! The visor on that one helmet looks dead on.

 

[Rusty85]

Here's a new pic I found. The comic version but still its better than nothing. Supposedly they're releasing a 4 pack with Roadblock, Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow, and Snake Eyes in April. Action figures I believe.

 

[BlackKaos]

Awesome find Rusty85! He looks Bada$$ in this pose. If you get anymore then keep them coming. I need reference pics and so far the comic book art is the closest thing I will get.
