Snake Eyes uses a tactical flight pack with pivoting blades, giving him speed and maneuverability in the air. His skills are essential in combating Storm Shadow, who has his own flight pack to perform aerial missions of sabotage and destruction. The articulated Snake Eyes action figure comes with ninja weapons and accessories, and features a backpack with spinning copter blades.
