If you knew someone only by the name "Snake Eyes," you might at first assume that they were a gambler, named for the the one-one combination on a pair of dice. In the case of the GI Joe: Real American Hero character named Snake Eyes, this could very well be the case. No one really knows. The man is a mystery, his real name is classified information.

For this bust of Snake Eyes, Palisades has chosen to portray him with both arms (some of the other busts have just one or even no arms), with his sword drawn and ready to do battle. The base is 1.75 inches tall, Snake Eyes is another 4.25 inches on top of that, with the sword blade also at 4.25 inches, making the bust almost nine inches tall from the bottom of the base to the tip of the sword. Snake Eyes is loaded for bear, or Cobra, as the case may be: in addition to the sword, he has darts on his right wrist, three grenades on the strap on his chest, and pouches on his belt and bicep straps.

Snake Eyes is perched atop a square base with the GI Joe logo on the front. The base is painted with a "beat up metal" deco, much like a metal footlocker that has seen much use, being dragged from one remote location to another. The look of wear gives it an authentic feel: this isn't a new recruit with a shiny new base. The paint on Snake Eyes himself is a combination of blues, blacks, and grays, with the colors highlighting his rippling muscles and the folds in the fabric of his costume. Bits of green and copper on his belt, straps, and grenades bring attention to those parts of his outfit. The paint on the bust itself has a matte finish, but the sword is a glossy black, drawing your concentration toward it and away from the man wielding it.

The packaging for Snake Eyes is a window box, so that if you aren't sure where you can safely display him, you can leave him (safely) in the box and still have him on display. The artwork on the box is by Dave Dorman, who has also done the art for Palisades' 12-inch Reservoir Dogs action figures and their Micronauts action figures. The back of the box features a file card for the character, production team credits for the bust, and pictures of other busts in the series. The sides of the boxes have more pictures of the bust.
