Trust me, it takes a lot for me to bust out the Chris Farley terminology… you know, I don’t even really like the Snow Job figure, except that I LOVE this Snow Job figure! Holy crap! I’m definitely not one for arctic themed guys, especially ones that are more or less repaints of the Arctic Snake Eyes, but damn…that new head sculpt, great paint apps, and absolutely INSANE gear have just sold me. I mean, we’ve seen the gear before, but setting up that tent? That is pure coolness. That nasty sniper rifle certainly helps as well.
Yeah, it’s an arctic figure, and a character that doesn’t especially enthrall me, but the overall presentation is pure sickness. Thanks to ceraurus of HissTank.com for just costing me more money.

I think I’m going to get him for the rifle and gear, then swap his head out with the 25th Snow Job head. Using this head on the 25th Snow Job body, I believe I will have the perfect Snow Job. (for me)
I didn’t even notice the tent!!! prolly end up picking him up now.
I agree completely, alpine! removable goggles on this sucker is a must!
Wow. I’m a huge arctic figure fan (odd since I live in SoCal and hate snow) and this figure does not disappoint. Looks like between this Snow Job and RoC Arctic SE I have the basis for a nice RoC arctic ops Joe team.
That lean-to tent alone makes me squee and the camp stove is just brilliant. Say what you will about some of Hasbro’s decisions, figures like this and the desert Zartan warm my fanboy heart as they empty my wallet, me grinning the whole time. Well done Hasbro, well done indeed.
Say what about what decisions? Sorry, that just stuck out to me and wonder what you were talking about. Here’s to hoping a miracle happens and these things show up earlier than slated.
I was talking about some of Hasbro’s design decisions and choices for what parts to use for some figures. People like to complain about the repaints and reuse of parts but here it works incredibly well.
I really just like him for the head, rifle and gear. But I agree, this reuse of parts works very well for Snow Job.
On another note: I am hearing some speculate that these figures are not POC or at one time were, but may be changed to ROC and be available in the next few months. Then in the fall, POC, whatever it will be will hit retail. Sounds plausible, but not sure if that’s true. I hope so, because I really want this Snow Job.
