Story by Staff Writer Shaft Snake-Eyes is listed as a “Commando” and has a PMS of “Infantry” and a SMS of “Hand-to-Hand Combat Instructor”. He would probably have enlisted as an 11B Infantryman and served in regular units and then make the move to a special operations unit (such as the 75th Ranger Regiment). The types of schools Snake-Eyes has attended would attest to this. Most standard infantry soldiers would not be trained in all hostile environments such as desert, mountaineering, jungle and arctic. Maybe one or two but generally…

Welcome to the Outpost.

One of the most distinct features is the removable head. The overall design made it relatively simple to swap heads and other body parts to customize figures. Although Hasbro produced a good amount of the original figures some were left out and…
