Accessories:

Snake-Eyes came with a black Sound Attack machine gun, a silver sword and a black backpack sheath w/ silver fittings.

The packaging also included a color background.

The Operation Avalanche set came with five black guns and two black backpacks. No weapons 'belong' to one figure more than any other.

Variations:

Some collectors consider Snake Eyes (v13) to be the early version of the same figure as Snake Eyes (v14), as they were both packed with the same Cobra Commander (v13) and available as part of the 2002 "Wave 3" release of figures.

Body Construction:

Snake Eyes (version 13) has an entirely new body sculpt. The same mold was used to make Snake Eyes (v14) (2002). Every part except the head was used to create Duke (v14) (2004).

Additional points of articulation were added to several new 2002 figures. Snake Eyes (v13) has hinged ankles and swivel wrists. Note the return of the O-ring design absent from earlier new figures from 2002.
