Super7 puts Snake Eyes in a parka, and packs the whole 1982 comic in the box

Super7 listed the second entry in its Comic Collector Series on August 19, and it is a strange and rather good idea: a 3.75 inch Snake Eyes dressed for the Arctic, carded in front of a full reprint of the comic he is dressed for. The set is $30.00, it is in stock at Super7 now, and the company says only 5,000 were made.

The comic is G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero issue #2, cover dated August 1982, titled “Panic at the North Pole”. It sits behind the blister in the window box rather than being folded up somewhere in the packaging, so the cover art is doing double duty as the cardback illustration.

Snake Eyes in blue, which is the whole point

If you only know the character from the last forty years of merchandise, the figure looks wrong. He is in a blue hooded parka with tan gloves, olive trousers and orange boots, with a blue balaclava and white goggles instead of the black commando gear.

That is issue #2. Snake Eyes had not become the silent ninja in black yet, and the North Pole story puts the whole Joe team in cold weather kit. Super7 has sculpted the version that is actually in the comic in the box, which is a more disciplined choice than it sounds, because the safe move on a Snake Eyes release is always the black suit.

The cardback. The reprinted cover carries a Skybound Comics Group corner box, and the file card and clip-and-save proof of purchase are both period-correct touches. Product photography: Super7.

The figure has 12 points of articulation. Super7 lists three accessories: a weasel skull necklace, a backpack and a rifle. The necklace and the rifle are both clearly visible in the tray, and the necklace is not a gag. Kwinn, the mercenary who turns up in this issue, is the reason it is there.

The cardback is doing more work than usual

Super7 has printed a real file card on the back, laid out the way Hasbro used to: Primary Military Specialty infantry, Secondary Military Specialty hand-to-hand combat instructor, birthplace classified, grade E-5, and the line about twelve unarmed fighting systems. There is a clip-and-save proof of purchase worth one comic point in the corner.

The story summary beside it is the useful bit for anyone deciding whether they want the reprint. General Austin sends a Joe team to an American research station at the North Pole after a raid kills everyone there and empties the files. They find an abandoned Russian station with a dead transmitter, and a machine gun toting mercenary named Kwinn, who tells them what he is actually doing there. Kwinn’s first appearance is a reasonable thing to have on a shelf, and it is the same book Skybound has been building on in the modern run, most recently in the extra-sized G.I. Joe #25.

One naming thing worth flagging

Super7’s own listing calls this the “Skybound Comic Box Series”. The printed card calls it the “Comic Collector Series”. Both are on the company’s own material, published the same day, and we have used the printed name here because that is what will be on the shelf. The reprinted cover carries a Skybound Comics Group corner box, which is presumably where the listing name came from.

Where it sits in the line

This is number two. The first was Cobra Commander with issue #1, also $30, which BigBadToyStore still has in stock at $29.99 if you want to start at the beginning. Super7 has been busy on this licence lately: the Fatal Fluffy Force Pack landed at the start of the month, and the company is running a countdown pointed at another G.I. Joe ReAction+ announcement on August 24, with no product named yet.

Getting one

Super7 direct, $30.00, in stock as of this morning. BigBadToyStore does not have this set listed, and Entertainment Earth returns nothing for it, so there is no cheaper route to point you at today. The 5,000 unit number is Super7’s own, printed in the product description.
