I'm actually going to try this tonight - I got an extra Grunt to use the helmeted head and double-ordered Law by accident so I've got the parts. I also wonder what body the movie unmasked Storm Shadow head would fit on to be Tommy in his military days.
 
This Snake Eyes but Classified, so Sean can keep his green theme

What they should do is give Sean another gambling-based code name to “match” Snake-Eyes (yes, the codename is based on “rolling snake-eyes” with dice, NOT a reference to an actual snake). I’m not interested in gambling, so I don’t really know what might be a good name though.

If you want to have fun with it - call him Boxcar. It's when you roll sixes on a d6, as opposed to rolling ones on a d6 (Snake Eyes). Also, hilariously appropriate, there's a term in poker; Counterfeit. Which is exactly what this dickbag is.

Isn't that really what he is? Just some arrogant twat's homebrew Kamakura?

Well isn't he just Kamakura in a new outfit?

Yeah. But Kamakura was created by DD, and 'Snake Eyes Kamakura' was an IDW storyline. Someone literally homebrewed him into Snake Eyes, because they were absolutely bereft of real creativity and also because IDW is just as scabby as Marvel and wanted desperately to have the SHOCK of killing Snake Eyes, but was also fucking terrified to have a Joe comic without Snake Eyes, so decided to have it both ways. I know everything is marketing and capitalism these days, but this character (or this version of the character) reeks of it SO badly.

So if you're going to change Kamakura to be 'more Snake Eyes-y' - you can do it in a way that is still true to Kamakura as a unique character instead of intentionally stripping that away from him so he can be your new Snake Eyes, complete with Snake Eyes costume, Snake Eyes mask, Snake Eyes sword, and Snake Eyes behaviour.
 
Fucksake, I just tried to swap the head on my spare Grunt figure and snapped the motherfucking neck peg just nudging it with my thumb. I looks like the peg that goes into the neck (joining the neck and the head) was fuzed so it had no give to it. I'm going to try to use the spare nec peg from the white greenshirt to try to make the swap, but what the everloving fuck, man. I really have no luck with neck swaps lately, makes me miss the old immobile necks we had in Legends for so long.
 
I love the articulation we get with the double-function neck ... sleeve.. I guess? But I would not want to try swapping it, to be honest. Modern action figure construction is one of the reasons I mostly stopped customizing.
