He was an American soldier, injured trying to save Specialist O'Hara (Scarlett). -- ~~We're here. We're not here. Get used to it.

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> Having had the oppurtunity to read some of the original comics through download I know tha the original Snake Eyes was involved in a firey, disfiguring helicopter accident in Nam. He now looks uglier than V, and can't/doesn't talk.

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> I'm not complaining or anything... because the sheer awesomeness of these photos is enough to kill most large mammals, but is his musclesuit/armor complete with false veins and muscle striae? Totally unnecessary, but pretty kick-rump nonetheless.

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @Cantonkid: Ack.. you know, I always get him confused with anybody else... I feel kind of bad about it, because he's been pretty decent all along, but I can never pin him down.

ThatGuyOverThere

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> Actually Ray Park is Scottish. I think the Korean actor is Byeong Heon Lee who is set to play Stormshadow.

As for the costume...its Bat-tastic. ;)

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @daived:
Looks like a five-seven to me too, those were also my first two questions. "when did he start using a pistol" and "is that a five-seven?" Good choice though.

So in short, ray park, a korean, is playing a japanese ninja, with chinese divination on his sleeve, carrying a belgian pistol.

ThatGuyOverThere

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> does he usually use a pistol?
its a FN five-seven if im not mistaken.

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @GenXCub: Why? And are you sure? He's got a molded cranium and triceps that would cut through spandex... These pics don't reveal his nips. Besides my admittedly prurient interest in seeing the ladies, there is legitimate reason to want to see them. It would be hard not to deliver on ninja/commando gear that every ex-boy will love. But the look of the ladies will say a lot about this film. Will Sienna Miller's Baronness look like a cheap Trinity or Selene rip-off? Will Scarlett be utterly camp, receive a major overhaul, or land somewhere in an unsatisfying middle? Alright, Destro, Zartan, and the Commander will be more revealing... I'm just a pervert.

mowglicub

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> Im under the impression that Snake Eyes cant talk cause his face got pwned during the Vietnam war. Or is it one of those alternate "GI Joes vs Battlestar Galactica" comics?

Mecharine

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> I didn't know they made serrated samurai swords.

Given the fact that Transformers surprised me (in a good way), I'm willing to give this a shot. I don't think "Yo, Joe!" will play very well. If it can laugh at some of the silly aspects, it may be good.

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> Snake-Eyes got his face burned off pulling an unconscious Scarlett out of one of the crashed choppers in Desert One, didn't he? Still makes him too old, though.

Any pics of Storm Shadow?

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @braak, @moff: I'd almost prefer semi-naked, trying to figure out how to peal off each other's form-fitting gear (the Baroness to Scarlett: Kiss, kiss, "How did you get this bathing suit over the latex jumper?"... Kiss, kiss...) -- but, yeah, I'm tuned into that signal.

Tim Faulkner

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @sensenet: I am guessing it was a bit of a joke. Although I also wouldn't see it as "screaming of homophobia", more screaming of heteronormative...ness.

Either way, it isn't even a buff guy in a unitard, it's a guy in a suit with molded muscles, which is just silly for oggling purposes.

On the GI JOE front though, looks bad ass.

braak

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @sensenet: I don't think it's homophobia to prefer pictures of the Baroness and Scarlett to pictures of a dude in a unitard, especially if the Baroness and Scarlett are kissing.

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> My mom wouldn't let me watch GI Joe when I was a kid... Too violent and no positive female role models. I shit you not. To this day I have never seen an episode of GI Joe beyond Sigma 6 or whatever that is thats on now.

So for any hippie parents out there wanting to keep their kids from watching TV and playing with guns, keep track of my posts to see how they'll turn out.

That being said.. this looks awesome. I hope my mommy lets me go see it.

Garrison Dean, King Awesome

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> That really captures the essence of Snake-Eyes. Great job! As to him talking, I hope he doesn't but I'm not going to have a faneurysm if he does talk.

Isn't that an FN FiveseveN pistol? If so, keen!

@ Tim Faulkner I hope the comment "Snake Eyes was always my favorite, but I want pictures of the Baroness and Scarlett -- not a dude in a unitard." was some kind of joke on your part. If not...screams of homophobia. Please refrain from that here - IO9's awesome because (among other reasons) it is gender inclusive. I'm sure there are plenty of readers who love seeing a buff guy in a unitard.

sensenet

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> I was so in love with Snake Eyes when I was younger. I'm netflixing G.I. Joe DVDs right now, and there's an overabundance of the annoying Shipwreck, but very little Snake Eyes. I pout.

Pouncer

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> Thank you for not even pretending this is SF, but including it anyway, because it is pure awesome. And, you know, not to speak ill of the great Snake-Eyes (my long-time favorite as well of course)...but...

1) Are Ray Park's eyes just above the bridge of his nose or something?
2) Is Snake-Eyes threatening to shoot me in the head and then cut me? Cause if so, I'm not so worried about the cutting part.

92BuickLeSabre

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> I very much doubt we'll hear SnakeEyes speak; you could make a one-minute reel of all the lines Ray Park has spoke in major action movies. Also, no Action Man buddie cop movies this go around.

I got the fear about many things in this flick, but this isn't one of them.

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> I wonder if he hisses like that crazy ninja in The Octagon.

FrankenPC

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> snake Eyes can't talk! That's just... well, silly isn't the word but it's wrong. If SAG rules require that he has lines due to pay reasons (lots of weird rules those actor's guilds), it should be handled Silent Bob style: he says one all important line and that is all.

Gyrus

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> And I would note that the IGN link above suggests that we will get some craptastic talking/face reveal Snake Eyes origin story... although I'm sure there's been 30 rounds of rewrites since then.

Tim Faulkner

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @Klappstuhl: I thought that also.

Regardless, I want that costume.

NcSchu

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @aspiringexpatriate: Age of actors is a minor issue (since some of the worst castings will be behind masks the whole time -- hopefully) in comparison to the potential horror that this is either a G.I. Joe/Action Man mash-up/buddy flick [movies.ign.com] or a 20-something slapstick version of Lethal Weapon in the military [www.slashfilm.com]

Tim Faulkner

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> Is it spandex, which show "real" muscles, or are the muscles molded into the suit. As for talking, wasn't it explained in the movies that he had his vocal cords damaged in some accident. IIRC, I remember him being hurt in some snowy woods. I would want him silent, but that requires a good actor to portray a character through just gestures.

Git Em SteveDave seeks Lego build buddy. How about you?

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @braak: It would help explain his chronic poor judgment, though.

One time when we were in junior high, my friend Dave flipped out when a bunch of Cobra soldiers (like a dozen) managed to take down Snake-Eyes. I think it was when he was stumbling around in the snow, around the same time he met Timber. Anyway, Dave starts yelling, "Nobody can beat Snake-Eyes! Nobody!" We had to calm him down.

And then about a year later, he gets on this trip about how if Axl Rose was really fuckin' trashed and hopped up on coke (keep in mind that we're still in junior high, in Fargo, North Dakota), he could take out anybody, even a black belt, because Axl would just be going fucking crazy and "Crazy beats karate. Crazy always beats karate."

Obviously, then we were like, "Well, what if Axl fought Snake-Eyes?" And we've been struggling with the question since. It's like the grandfather paradox in time travel.

That is weird.

braak

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> @ParJoe: Really, the only reason you'd hire Ray Park at all is to see him move around; if the foam rubber suit doesn't move well, they might as well have just cast me.

Tim Faulkner

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> Weird casting choices overall. Destro and Hawk are much older, barroness, snake eyes and storm shadow are mid/late 30s and everyone else, including cobra commander, duke, and scarlett are mid/late 20s.

Just. Odd. Cause it's interesting that they're not all in their 20s. I wonder if the script is any good at all, if it's even done.

aspiringexpatriate

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> Meh....I dunno. Hopefully the foam rubber suit will move well. I'll have to see it in action.

se7a7n7

]]> <![CDATA[New Pictures of Snake-Eyes Costume Meet Your Futuristic Ninja Needs]]> "if he'll talk or if we'll just see his face in the flick"

Hopefully neither, unless it's a flashback to.. um.. Vietnam? It's set in the modern day, no? Sure you can have vets from Somalia, former Yugoslavia, or the Persian Gulf, but Vietnam was so crucial to the backstory of it all. Course so was the Cold War. We'll see how they deal with that.

aspiringexpatriate

Looks neat, though.
