Your Snake Eyes turned out great! I really like the color scheme that you used. I'd say the quality looks as good as the Star Wars figure kits by Bandai. Is this the Snake Eyes kit that is currently being sold at Hobby Lobby?

The quality of these Furai kits is up there with Bandai in my opinion. Fit and finish is top notch. However if Bandai decided to produce their own kits of these characters I'd choose Bandai hands-down. Bandai ha almost perfected their engineering to hide seams and streamline the assembly process. Furai has some learning to do in that department. Sometimes the instructions are clear as mud until you see the next step assembled and they need to engineer some of their parts a bit better like Bandai does, but not directly copy them. They do have an opportunity to be better at hiding seams and placing the pour stubs in better positions to ease sanding and trimming in awkward small places.
That said, it is a great kit, fun to build (with a bit of trouble spots due to the instruction diagrams), and even more fun to mess around with all of the cool accessories he comes with. Included are four sets of hands for the different weapons, an Uzi, a Tabor, two short swords, two M-9 Barettas, two knives, two stun/smoke grenades, three Frag grenades, and an AT-4. This kit is loaded with goodies to place him with.
And lastly, yes that is the kit you'll find at Hobby Lobby and isn't a bad deal if you get the 40% off at checkout. There is a separate kit for his Ninja motorcycle which can hold some of that gear including the Tabor, spare M-9, and the AT-4. In the pipeline to being released is his arch nemesis Storm Shadow and he's loaded with extra stuff as well, has a motorcycle kit coming as well, but what I'm really looking forward to is the release of the A.W.E. Striker combat vehicle. It's supposed to retail at $149, but I'm seriously hoping I can get that from Hobby Lobby and get a discount because that MSRP is steep!
