Supposedly official.

It was up at AICN earlier this morning (yeah, I know) but was yanked. They're supposed to be posting it later tonight, and it'll be featured in tomorrow's USA Today.

Either way, we'll know by tomorrow for sure.

I don't think it looks that bad. I guess I was expecting much worse since I heard some of the X-Men III guys were working on it. It could be better though. I could see it looking pretty cool if it gets dirtied up at some point on the movie - hopefully they do that. I don't want to see pristine costumes that stay that way through the whole movie.

Honest question: Why are some people upset about the SE costume? Save for a few minor details like the symbol on the shoulder, he looks like he stepped right out of the comic. So I'm confused.

Bad lighting really. It looks a BIT better here.

Some versions of Snake Eyes in the toys and comics have given him the Arashikage clan symbols on his costume and sword.

It's not too bad. It looks like Snake Eyes at least.

I'm just curious what it takes to please people. Now I know that someone will get their panties in a wad and fire back with some derrogatory comment that shows their maturity level, but I am asking an honest question here. When you look at movies like Spider-Man 1, everyone wondered why they had to change the look of the Green Goblin and they couldn't make him more faithful to the comics. Same with the X-Men not wearing their costumes, same with Juggernaut, same with the Punisher, same with Daredevil, etc. Now, we get an almost "Pulled from the comics" translation and still people are upset. I too was curious how they were going to pull off Snake Eyes because, let's face it, he's the one that stands out in G.I. Joe lore. What I mean by that most of the force is basic military and then there is this stealth ninja. I am glad to see that they are staying faithful. This picture alone has increased my faith in the movie 500%. Look at this side by side of the two and tell me how they screwed up. I am looking for honest intelligent conversation as to what could be better.

Let's be honest. The first pic looked weird and kind of fake, video-gamey, and the lighting was bad. Once we saw the sharper image it comes off a lot better.

So I mean, I don't think people need to jump on others for not liking the first pic. It kind of rubbed me the wrong way as well. When I saw the better picture, its like "Oh Ok, that looks decent."

And yes for this design they stayed pretty faithful to the look of the comics a lot like the Spider-man movie character. So no matter what I say against the movie, I will say that Snake Eyes looks accurate at least.

I absolutely agree, when I first saw it I thought; "Meh." Then with a little lighting change, I was able to completely change my attitude on it. As I told Hunter, he looks like a badass SWAT Ninja. :word:

When I first saw it I wasn't even able to see the texture/lines/design on his mask/helmet. Looks great.

I'm no avid G.I. Joe fan so don't flame me for not appreciating the fact that Snake Eyes looks like he stepped right out of any GI Joe comic or TV series, but something with that picture isn't clicking for me.

Maybe it just looks too cartoony for me? I dunno what is, but maybe if I see him standing along side other characters, maybe I'll feel differently.

i'm not a big joe fan(hell i still think of it as action force) but i like it

the costume design in this movie IMO falls into the same category as something like masters of the universe there isn't much to work with, you either go totally faithful with modern tweaks as seen with snake eyes to you scrap it and start from scratch there no real middle ground

I'm guessing unless they go with the trademark outfits most of them wore, the majority of the more bizzare suits will go the X-Men route, while the ones we know well, like Snake Eyes, Baroness, etc. will be a little more faithful. You can't have Shipwreck walking around in that Donald Duck looking ****.

Yeah, they'd definitely have to do something different with him (although I don't think he's even in the movie).

Yeah, Snake Eyes is pretty simple when it comes to costume design. And what they've come up with is damn near perfect.

I can see Scarlett's uniform needing something most likely redesigned from scratch. If hers were translated as closely as Sneke Eyes', she'd look ridiculous.

By far, one of the best adaptations around. This is definately promising that they are going to stay faithful. It would be easy for them to try and change everything to make it fit in today's world.

Holy ****. Its kind of sad when my mind gets so used to different takes on these familiar costumes that it almost reacts negatively when it sees such a close interpretation. They threw on things I just KNEW would not be on the costume. The symbol, the pouches, the knife on the chest, the bracelets are almost exact. Even cloth pants. After hearing everything else about this movie (somehow I'm still cautiously optimistic) I was definitely not expecting this accurate of a portrayal visually.

I'll cosign, I can't wait to see Storm Shadow and the other costumes. Looks like they at least partially understand how iconic the looks of these characters are.

i know exactly how you feel and couldnt agree more,when i first saw it i thought "fan made" just cuz it was so close and so right,the arishakage symbols on the shoulder and sword for starters i never thought they would include! Then theres the visor,i really expected them to mess with that for some reason.

Its such a strange feeling when you know that finally some people have realised that certain characters and thier looks have worked for years and years for a reason!

I mean when you get a dull superman suit for no good reason and all the unnecessary changes made to other characters in their big screen incarnations you sadly come to expect an unfaithful adaptation...strange huh?

Wow... TheVileOne is being positive about the Joe movie? Stop the press! Stop the press! :woot: Anyway, I'm with you on this design there, mate. It's one of Paramount's better decisions for the movie thus far.

I can see Scarlett's uniform needing something most likely redesigned from scratch. If hers were translated as closely as Sneke Eyes', she'd look ridiculous.

I know that Sigma 6 is kind of controversial with some fans, but I thought that they at least did a good job with Scarlett's new uniform. Sorry I couldn't find better pics.

While I love that they stayed faithful to Snake-Eyes' look, I'm afraid that Scarlett's classic costume hasn't stood the test of time particularly well. I actually hope that they give her suit's look an overhaul.

I hope they keep Scarlette's loose pony tail. Those Sigma 6 pics look like a different character. Most of the soldierish characters can be changed up like Duke, Heavy Duty, and Rip Chord but here's hoping Storm Shadow, Destro, and CC get this Skane Eyes treatment

Indeed. If Destro doesn't have his metal mask, I will be unhappy.

He has it, but doesn't wear it at all times.

Good enough for me. Now I just hope it doesn't look like butt.

I just hope it doesn't look like Dr. Doom. Or if people associate it with Doom.

I just hope his helmet doesn't make him look like he has a giant melon of a head. It could look exactly like the comic version, but if it makes his head look big then it'll be hard to take him seriously. Hopefully the costumers and designers know what they're doing.

the script review revealed this regarding Destro's mask:

it's composed of nanotechnology that conforms to his face

Actually, looking at the suit does raise some concerns. Given that Snake Eyes' musculature is due to the bodysuit, I wonder how they're going to do Storm Shadow since his exposed arms (if they go with the classic look) make it at least difficult (if not outright impossible) for him to wear a bodysuit. As a result, he might look noticeably smaller than Snake Eyes, which could be problematic.

Kind of convoluted, but hey, if it looks good on film I won't complain.

I like it. Makes me curious to see how faithful the other costumes will be.

Scarlett's original looks slightly more modern than her America's Elite. I think all they need to do is give her some grey pants and a form fitting grey & gold shirt.

I reckon the first set of America's Eliet costume would work fine on screen. They've clearly shown that Snake eyes translates brilliantly. Some of the 80's comics and cartoon uniforms are a bit too dated to work (Duke's for example). But the Sigma six ones are way too cheesy and fantastical.

Not to mention that the Sigma 6 suits are repetitive. They are pretty much all the same design with a few slight variations. I prefer the Joes each having an individual look based on their purpose and military background.

But isn't that what a uniform is supposed to be? The repetitiveness of the design gives them a sense of uniformity that shows they belong to the same unit. I recall the original RAH figures also having a very similar design amongst each other.

I like Snake Eyes apart from the pants. I do wish his suit had some texture to it however.

I'm guessing unless they go with the trademark outfits most of them wore, the majority of the more bizzare suits will go the X-Men route, while the ones we know well, like Snake Eyes, Baroness, etc. will be a little more faithful. You can't have Shipwreck walking around in that Donald Duck looking ****.

He won't be wearing that "Donald Duck looking ****" [Enlisted Service Dress], Shipwreck is mostly known/seen wearing the Naval Working Uniform.

To quote Wiki: "Working uniforms are worn when other uniforms may become unduly soiled or are otherwise inappropriate for the task. These are worn at sea, and in industrial environments ashore."

However, much like the Air Force's transition to the new ABU, Army's to the ACU, etc. the Navy's Working Uniform will transition to something similar, only blue.

Yeh i think thats what they were trying to do lol.

When I was a kid I always wondered how Polly could be so intelligent to come up with such witty quips...I just assumed he had some sort of robotic or genetic enhancements!
