HISS Tank member Gyre-Viper has posted an image of the S.N.A.K.E. Armor and Dr. Mindbender set that was supposed to be released in the Modern Era line. Being that the SNAKE Armor was just released recently in the Rise of Cobra line, after a long absence from the various G.I. Joe lines over the years, could we see this set make an appearance in the future? Being that Hasbro likes to use tooling at least more than once, perhaps this is a possibility.
After all, most fans do want a S.N.A.K.E. Armor in it’s original colors….

Nothing special here. Well, kinda... I mean we got both, so nothing new... one became a member of the Defense of Cobra Island 5 pack and one became 'SERPENT' Armor... but here's the prototype of the Snake Armor that was gonna come with Mindbender.... I've also included links to some of the other stuff for those just joining the fun.
originally it was gonna be this armor with Mindbender, a modern era Mirage with Chuckles, Whirlwind with Recondo, and Ferret with the twins.
anyways... figured I'd share this since I posted pics of the other two and the ferret with twins protos have shown up several times over the past year or so in numerous threads.

Now that would have been a cool set. Too bad they scrapped it. Mindbender would have been much better for parts. They could have used his spot for a different troop builder in the 7 pack. At least we got both. Good score on this.

Poor ME/25th :( so many good htings wasted into ROC reapints...its like some vulture was sitting outside the Hasbro Board room and turned into a garbage disposal when they fired off the 25th/ME support teams :(
Man that would have been cool to get Mindbender and a real SNAKE in vintgae packaging...oh well thanks ROC...

Paint the armor in BAT colors and sell it for a million dollars!
Gyre-Viper says
I'd love to see box art for these cancelled sets.
MAJOR BLOOD says
Was this going to be an exclusive?
Gyre-Viper says
heh didn't expect this to get front paged since itz the farthest thing from "new".....
same reason I only took one pic. I mean with the Mirage I had to post multiple pics of it cuz it hasn't seen the light of day yet and the Whirlwind I took multiple pics of cuz I had the Jungle gun for comparison... hehehehehh.

Maybe next year? They have to use that Mindbender mold somehow.
Mark my words, this will be a Target exclusive for PoC.
DrNightmare says
You guys keep saying you need MB for fodder, but I don't see why? The torso is ugly, the arms are okay, and the legs are just CG legs that you can get in 5 packs for like $13.
What does everyone use Mindbender for? I feel left out of the loop lol!

Seriously, a shirtless body has so many applications and Hasbro hasn't made enough of them.
