Yes, the  iconic Ford Mustang is back in the news, yet again. This time, the Ford Mustang Boss 302 has won the About.com reader’s award  for the ‘Best Special Edition Mustang’. This version of the Mustang has the ability to outsmart the popular BMW M3 both on the track as well as on the road.

The heavy and powerful 5.0 litre engine is capable of generating a power throw of 444 horsepower and develops a torque of 380 lb-ft. The top speed achieved is 155 mph which makes it one of the fastest muscle cars in the world. This doesn’t mean that you only have to drive the Mustang faster.

The 2011 Mustang Boss 302 can also go round corners pretty rapidly. The car has an advanced ‘ Limited Slip Differential’ with carbon fibre plates. We don’t need to give you the specifications of this vehicle again as you all might have already read them in the previous posts. So, enjoy the rest of the day dreaming about the Mustang.

My 100th post!

It seems like just yesterday that I started Chase Variant.  But how quickly and enjoyably these past 10 months of reviewing have gone by.  I guess its also fitting that my 100th falls on the 15th day of the Lunar New Year because this is the day that the Chinese believe everyone grows a year older.  And Chase Variant is more or less there too.  So Happy Birthday everyone!

On to the review!

Theres one thing that movie makers always pull in kung fu movie sequels--they recycle sidekicks/villains not just from the previous movie, but take them from other movies as well!  For example, Hollywood Ninja 2 might have a sidekick appear to aid our hero fight the bad guy Boss, who turns out to be the Big Baddie from Chinatown Samurai 3!  Oh, the web of intrigue those ninja movie-makers weave!

In that spirit, we have our star for New Year with Ninjas 3--Arashikage Bike Snake Eyes!

How does he compare to Arashikage Bike Storm Shadow?

Will Storm Shadow be jealous of Snake Eyes skill level?  Or will they join forces against the mysterious Evil One?   Will a fight ensue?

I know youre all dying to know!!! :P

Like: That Hasbro (generally) dont screw up the fan favorites.  At first glance, Snake Eyes may look like the top half of his Ninja Commando version and and the standard Joe Blue camo pants.  But while the pants may be general issue camo, the upper torso is a completely different mold with looser clothes versus the muscled skin-tight "suit" of the original version.  I kinda prefer it, since with all the ninjitsu hell be doing, hell need clothes he can breathe in.

His arms are also new, with pouches strapped to both upper arms and what looks like spare crossbow bolts on his right forearm.  Those look great but Snake Eyes doesnt come with a crossbow!  Ah well, it can just sit there and add to his cool factor.

Like: His head articulation is perfect.  He looks way up, way down, and can turn it all around.  He does the hokey pokey and he turns himself about, that what its all about!  Hey!  Ok thats enough of that...

Like: No "nose and mouth" on the face mask.  Strictly mask, strictly cooler.  Much cooler.

Like: His belt harness.  Its got pouches, silver painted clips, and isnt just a simple belt.  It really makes him look more commando than Ninja Commando.

Like: His Arashikage blade.  Not only is the Arashikage symbol painted clear and sharp, but the blade is also unique, with one edge straight and the other hooked.  They meet in a fearsome point.  Also, the blade near the hilt of the hooked side has what looks like notches.  And it looks like so far Snake Eyes has offed 5 worthy opponents.  And thats just the blade, folks.

Check out the hilt!  A semi-curved cross piece atop a wood carved hilt.  I especially love the grip because theyve detailed in wood-grain and shaped it so that it looks like its been custom made and sized for Snake Eyes.  So.  Sweet.  It reminds me of the sword Morning Light from Storm Shadow: Solo--practically magical! :)

Like: That his grenade bandolier is removable.  Its also cleanly painted and counts as an accessory!
Dislike:  My main beef against Arashikage Snake Eyes is his ankle articulation.  Hes got the standard swivel/hinges there, but the hinges are rendered useless by the tight upper portion of his boots (the shin/lace ensemble).  Thats a pity because a ninja needs to be able to point his feet for kicks, jumps, etc.  Less flexibility in the ankles also means a figure thats harder to balance in all those martial arts poses.  Oh, well.

Dislike:  This is minor, but he doesnt hold his Uzi quite right in either hand.  Since his finger is part of his fist and not separate, he cant put his finger through the trigger guard.  After making a small cut so that he can do this, he looks slightly better but still cant really hold the gun straight. I guess that gripping his sword right is more important and his hand is perfect for the blade.

Dislike:  I havent really mentioned his bike up till now, but its basically a repaint of Storm Shaodows version.  However, I think Stormies colours suit the bike better and match the riders colours more.  And really, a bike like this with no manoeuverability in the front wheel is really a BFG on wheels.  Why?  Because they sacrificed movement so that the vehicle can fire off a missile out the missile port in the front.

Without the movable handlebars, its tough to pose Snake Eyes gripping the handles and sitting right (and flush in his seat) at the same time.  Snakes kinda short compared to Storm Shadow, who at his height, already cant quite sit the way Id like him to, much less Snake Eyes.


The only other movable part of the bike is the kickstand.

RATINGS
Aesthetics: 9/10 - Arashikage Snake Eyes doesnt look that spectacular or unique at first glance.  In fact youll probably notice the bike first in packaging.  But dont be deceived!  Snake himself turned out to be a gem, both in sculpt and in the small paint apps on his weapons, bandolier, belt buckle, and right forearm..

The bike though, is a repaint of Arashikage Storm Shadows.  And its colour scheme (the blue), though painted to complement its rider, doesnt quite match and turns out to be rather ordinary.


Poseability: 8.2/10 - Hes perfect except for the ankles, which he gets heavily docked for because he can pose like a champion but cant balance in those poses.  In fact I think he balances better in a handstand position (with sword in hand for assistance. :P)

Although I love the idea of a downtime Snake Eyes in half camo/half costume, if they cant get him ankles that work, then they shouldve used different lower legs instead of the standard issue camo legs.  Regular soldiers can get away without full ankle articulation, but this is Snake Eyes!  Why couldnt the "Bro have just used PP Storm Shadows legs and repainted them?...

Fun: 9/10 - His sword, his Uzi, his bike, and stickers to go with the cycle!  Those would be fun for a full 2 minutes while you stickem on.  But the sword is just so fun to play with.  Theres just so many menacing poses Snake Eyes can achieve with it, all the while with his left hand free to Uzi up some baddies or knife some poor enemy soul

Also, he can even use the long sword two-handed!  All just for that extra slashing power!

Value: 7/10 - Snake Eyes set me back S$22, thats about US$15.70.  Seeing as how its a Toys R Us Exclusive and Ive only ever heard of it being seen once here(through The Rangerlord), its a steal.  Somehow, for more than double the new price point here in Singapore and only 3 weapons, this figure manages to be worth just enough to justify what I paid for him.  Thank goodness for the Arashikage Sword, which is a really nice piece of work.

Overall 8.5/10 - A solid Snake Eyes figure to own if you have none.  But with how hard he is to find, its unlikely hell be the only one you own.  Youre better off buying the Paris Pursuit version or even the Ninja Commando verison, if skin tight rubber with nose and mouth mask is your kinda bag, baby.

This figure is really more of a completists piece.  Or if youre the type who likes to buy a few versions to piece together an "ultimate" version of the character, this Snake Eyes will give you a gorgeous upper body, a nifty sword, and a bike.

**Oh and if youre wondering where all the ninja movie stuff I talked about at the beginning went to, well check back here soon for the next post to find out!
