G.I. Joe Classifed Snake Eyes Repaint

 

I'm such a sucker. I really am. There is nothing that drastically different about this Snake Eyes to warrant actually buying it. 

For those of you following the G.I. Joe Classified series, you probably already know that Hasbro is currently releasing repainted figures from the first wave. However, of them, Snake Eyes here is such a subtle change that I dare say it may not even qualify as a "repaint". More so a run change.

I say this, because if you look at the package, the real only change that people might notice, and I really do mean might, is that the knife is no longer packed in a tray to the side of the figure's head. Instead, it's been put in the sheath on his hip.

However, to see the oh so subtle change to the figure, let's zoom in on both the original and repainted version.

The original is on the left, and the repaint is on the right. Do you see it?  Can you point out the change?

The repaint, or at least mine, appears to be a flatter paint, as opposed to the original, which has a bit of a gloss to it. Especially on the head. However, the true change is the red dash above the visor. This is on the original, but removed from the repaint.

Other than that, no changes.

So tell me, is it worth twenty dollars to essentially buy the same figure that literally a small brush stroke has been removed from? Probably not. Not for most sane people.
