Sideshow G.I.JOE

[BlackKnight]

Any Collectors out there ?
.... I had a Couple ..., Now I got 5 of em.
The Only things I've really boughten the last Month or so ...
Man ..., These things are so Bad Arse..., and I was such a Fan of the RAH Figures..., to see these , it's just Unbelievable to me. There's about 5 More I really want ...., and I can't wait for Zartan.

They are really amazing. My brother is a big RAH fan and I'm surprised he isn't all over these, but it's the nostalgia of scale I guess. He'll pay $100 for a tiny rare 3 3/4" figure, but not 12" of awesome?! I don't get that, but then again I grew up with both large and small scales that 80's kids didn't.

It will be interesting to see how deep a character selection they will be able to run this line beyond the a listers like duke, destro, snake eyes and storm shadow. But I guess mainframe, mutt and SCIFI might have their fans willing to shell out for their favourite characters f they are limited Ed.

Well They Haven't made Destro Yet ....
Or any Core Chick Characters like Baroness, Scarlet or Lady Jaye ...

But Characters Like BeachHead ..., and Desert Cobra Troopers have made the Cut.


I'd Really Like a Baroness, Ship Wreck, Quick Kick, Mutt/JunkYard or any Dreadnok Myself . But there's still A few I'd like to get my hands on, before I need anymore to come out.

those are sweet...are they as nicely detailed as the hottoys?

Well..., They are Cheaper than Hot Toys for 1.
When they 1st come out ..., most are half the price as a HT Figure.
IMO They are just as well detailed as HT. The Weaponry they Come with is Just Insaine. Hawk and BeachHead come with so much crap..., I dunno where to even put it all.

The Bodies are different . They have some likes, and dislikes from me, but the over all completed piece, just out weighs the cons for me.

I've got the Cobra Viper in my collection and the Crimson Guard is on order. It seems to be a hit and a miss with this line but for the most part I'm really impressed with the figures.

[BlackKnight]

^^^ Watcha mean By Miss ?

... I haven't Expirenced that yet myself.
The Only thing I can think of, is Cobra Commander.
I believe is Classic Look, with his Helmet mighta Looked cooler to me , and would have liked to have had that version.
That Viper looks Sweet...., I may have to add him to my wish list.

I have Dusty, Cobra Commander, Viper and Firefly. I'm anxiously awaiting my Zartan pre-order.

By "miss" I'm mainly referring to a few of the head sculpts. Seems like Duke, Flint and Beachhead (ummasked) weren't quite as impressive as people had hoped. I'd like to see the line continue to do well so maybe we can get a Cobra B.A.T. at some point. Now that would be an awesome figure!

[BlackKnight]

I did not know BeachHead came unmasked. I thought the Duke headsculpt was great. Flint perhaps not so much.

You can see some pics of the unmasked Beachhead here.

Yeah ... I dunno..., I don't really see him looking like that.
I don't ever remember seeing him on the Old RAH Toon without his Mask though ...., so I dunno.

[Random Axe]

That's a messed up sculpt there. Yeah, it's got character and is realistic, but it's anything but heroic. Looks like he's ready to spit some chew on Cobra. Not impressed. Stick with the masked head.

How well does the SDCC movie baroness stand among the sideshows? Is she in scale?
