I loved Sigma 6, in the beginning I just bought all of the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadows and both of the Fireflys (the 1st one was a Joe, he was a double agent. he showed up as Lt. Stone's partner) Then it became whatever caught my eye. Stone is a rally fun figure and Dark Ninja Master is spectacular in his absurdity. When the line shifted, the Adventure Team sets were must buys.
By the end I was grabbing lots of figures on the cheap even if it was just for accessories.
BTW: The hellicopter SE and corresponding SS were double jointed. they were FANTASTIC figures.
The packaging becoming a storage locker for the wealth of accessories you got really makes this line look majestic in hindsight, but I remember being so "meh" on it at the time. Now I would love a line similar to this! And weren't these $14.99? GOD. Simpler times. Now we are lucky to get an extra or hands with a $19.99 figure.
Yeah we (collectors) bought into the $20 price tag and there's no turning back.
I like how the two robots just explode every time they're moved :P They look cool though.
YOUR ROBUT 💥S'PLODE💥
Good figures. I owned the Snake Eyes, but wasn’t sold on collecting the rest. Hasbro used the same joint system here as they did with their early ML figures, and I remember liking the joints on the Sigma 6 figures but hating them on the MLs.
Great video about an intriguing part of GI Joe history. I didn’t buy any of the line but it was an interesting aesthetic that I imagine I would have liked as a kid. I remember the vehicles with the small figures as being particularly cool looking. Great design and- like M.A.S.K.- the smaller scale figures helped make the vehicles feel more epic.
The cartoonish proportions & designs remind me of Disney’s Toybox line. Fun!
I was pretty firmly entrenched in the GI Joe collector world back then, even advised/helped write the stories for the Joe comic for a while.. and I actually like Sig6 more as a novelty line now than I did back when it was new. At that time there was a lot of hype about it & a rift occurred between fans who embraced the 8" scale as the new Joe & those who wanted all that R&D money to go into a better 3 3/4" product (which, eventually, it did). I was in the latter camp & as such was overly critical and damning of the Sig6 line.. probably unfairly so out of fear of loss of 3 3/4" Joe.
I loved the artistic design style of the characters. The package was very creative too with the tops and bottoms forming the locker and a repetitive blinking led light in the package got your attention at the store. I was saving for a house and wasn't buying toys then but in 08 I caved and tracked them down, mostly on eBay. Some of those leds were still blinking, though faintly. Since then I got hooked on collecting other figures like transformers & marvel legends. This was my gateway back into toys.
I remember thinking that they were OVER packaged and that the line could have done better without as many bells and whistles. Money was tight for me at the time as well and I had to pass every time I saw them.
Ah, I miss Sigma 6! I mean, in so much as I miss new ones. I still have ALL the ones I bought. Can't bring myself to get rid of them.
I'd like to see Hasbro create a line of six inch Joes similar to SW black series. Highly detailed, realistic, and posable based on the original 3 3/4" designs. That would be awesome.
Every time NY Toy Fair or SDCC or ANY of the cons rolls around I cross my fingers and hope for the announcement but nothing will happen until they have a movie ready to go.
Hey man!
I was just telling a buddy of mine the same thing just the other day!
Yes! Molded like the originals! just better quality so their crotches and thumbs don't break off!! Oh, and NO neon colored g.i.joes please?!?
They finally heard you with the release of classified series
Our time has finally come.
Looking at this video now and hearing your comments, it's like Hasbro watched this and then started the Classified line. 👏
I wish Classified took more cues from Sigma 6, like the fun things Sigma did with accessories at that larger scale. Sigma actually made spring-loaded-rocket-launchers cool.
I desperately wanted the sigma 6 storm shadow when i was a kid, they never released these in India but its good to take a trip down memory lane with this , ill probably get one off ebay now.
Hait they got expensive
Or Amazon. Shop around. Online shops compete with each other all the time!
@Hait ≈ a winner is you?
Storm shadow is my favourite character .
didnt see this for the first time until today. I was heavily into this line, and really wish the adventure team series would have kept going!
The 2007 Sigma 6 (Adventure Team etc) is my favorite part of the Sigma line. Recondo, Gung Ho, Shipwreck, Commando Snake Eyes, Lockdown...and the prototypes of Joe Colton (with the gorilla), Dusty (with the scorpion) and Short Fuse...it was getting so good, and then suddenly, it's done. And its wild to think, these guys were retailing for like $10 and $15. How times have changed!!!
Man I LOVED this line and wanted to collect it. They were like 8 inch versions of my beloved Xevoz line (which along with stikfas was what I was collecting at the time) but they cost a bit too much and were a little hard to find.
TheBd62 same guys behind that line did these. They were originally set to come
Alongside 4" versions to but they canceled them.
I wish they would make the footlocker for the 4 inch line with the accessory foam. That would be awesome!
I will not rest until I have a figure from that line, with accessories. Accessories make my heart happy.
I think ebay is open 24 hours.
Toy Galaxy... yeah, seemed bold when I said it, not so bold after Google search...
I like a few of these, but they kind of remind me of the blockiness of old school Virtua Fighter style, 3D polygonal figures. Annnd, I dunno if I dig that a whole lot. I think the Storm Shadow looks the best out of the bunch.
I was between these and 12in at the time. But only had 4.
Sweet line of figures. Have a few of the figs and enjoy the cases that come with for storage
... back when Hasbro was experimenting. I like to see a The Centurion intergraded into GI Joe and more MASK. Both can be like a futuristic branch of the Joe-Verse. 👍
I agree that idea would have been awesome especially if you combined them with this line.
That would be really bad ass!! I love M.A.S.K!
OH How about the Visionaries?
I collected SIGMA 6 back in the day. Still have them &really like them. The elastics have all lost their tension, but other than that they are all still in good shape. Guns still work after over a decade! Strong batteries .. looking forward to the rumored upcoming 6inch GI JOE line
I like the s6 line. Collected them for 1 yr back in the day. Just this morning finally purchased the one S6 figure I wanted but did not have (Grand Slam). I too wish that GI Joe would do a more realistic rendition of their characters in 6” scale so that I may be able to display them with my SW Black series and Marvel Legends 6” figures, which have come to dominate my shelf space.
These figures were great ...i collected most of them ...then they started repainting them & calling them a different character which was a cop out ! Still a very good line ...then they made adventure team ...
I love the Sigma Six figures. I’ve been going back off and on for a few years picking figures up. I’m actually waiting on the mail man to bring a package in today of some Sigma Six figures. Just a ton of fun.
I collected Sigma 6, and had a bunch of them. The only ones I have left is Storm Shadow and Shipwreck. Shipwreck came with a little monkey that you can put on his shoulder. Oh yeah, that Zartan came with a cool crossbow.
If you haven't done one already, can you be talked into doing an episode on Sigma 6's cousin Xevoz?
I got this line for my then 6 year old. The cartoon was actually pretty good and a great reimagining. I wish the line had been more successful, but it was good for what they did. Of course in my mind GI Joe has always gotten a raw deal from Hasbro if you ask me.
Agreed!
Exactly!
Is the story in Sigma 6 good.
@@greysnake2903 I honestly don't remember. It was like 16 years ago now. It was very anime in look, and it was a decent story. But it had some holes. I'd be curious to go back and check it out again.
sigma 6 was my first gi joe experience. haven't gone into too much else of the fanchise yet.
The blue one kinda looks like K-2SO
👆 This man's weed is blue!
(Thought YOU K-2S0'd a 420! NM/lol...)
The creative freedom of the gijoe designers of this time is beyond amazing. And they get so much gear.
I almost bought the destro a few times. Perhaps if I see them again for a fair price i would love to have a few.
Only really got into gijoe with the 25th anniversary.
The Sigma Six line, I'm pretty sure, was modeled after the original GI Joe line from the 1960's. With real clothing & a larger scale, though not as towering as its 12 inch originator, the later Sigma Six figures would go on to feature the classic "Kung Fu Grip." Though this reimagining was a spring loaded mechanism instead of the original rubber material, it was still an homage to the classic GI Joe of my Father's days. Still trying to complete my GI Joe Sigma Six Combat Squad collection, got 2 of 6 excluding the Box Set. One of the best stylized toy lines in my opinion.
Awesome vid like usual, thanks again for shining some light on another short lived & overlooked but incredible toy line. Keep up the incredible work.
I collected these when the cartoon was out. The footlockers were wonderful and kept me from losing stuff as a kid. I did lose Snake Eyes’ visor. Unfortunately they’ve mostly been lost to time. I’ve still got a few somewhere I believe. Years later I found out they made a Flint figure towards the end of the line that I really wanted.
Yeah I see Snake Eyes loose all the time at flea markets and he NEVER has his visor on. Really shouldn't have made it removable.
i had a good amount of the figures on there. so many memories
This line and the Master of the Universe 2000X series were the ones I kick myself for not picking up when I had the chance. I rarely see them in the secondary after market or any flea markets I go to. I guess i will have to break down and by them off of eBay. Awesome video Dan as usual!!!
i have nearly all of them new in box and two bins of opened sigma 6 joes.
these were meant to be played with. they stand up well to rough play and are much more of a toy than a collectible.
my grandchildren will get them.
I have some bare bones figures with no accessories that I found at a resale shop. But I never was interested in them enough to complete them. Just hanging on to them for a rainy day I guess. When 25th came out I started heavily collecting again. But I still prefer the vintage line over anything else. Or the 12 inch 60s, 70s stuff is my real passion.
I love this one, I have most, lots of accessories and cloth outfits....need to bring back
I have a TON!!!!! Of these. They're very easy to pick up.
I loved this series. I was almost all in but they were pricey. I still have a Shipwreck, Gung Ho, and Recondo with a crocodile. If I remember correctly they were pretty difficult to track down due to the line losing steam, but they are amazing and essential to the collection.
It's funny how prices have shifted. I think they were like $15 new which at the time was a high price. Today we pay $20 for a basic figure with no accessories.
Toy Galaxy - They had the three levels of packs, though. The standard figure with some accessories and no footlocker, the deluxe figure with tons of accessories and a foot locker, then the super deluxe figures with a figure, accessories, footlocker, and some other thing like a vehicle or a totem or animal. That line was all over the place in terms of what they were marketing. It was a beautiful bit of chaos.
I wouldn't touch these when they were on the shelves but now I kinda wish I would have.
Ebay is always open.
I've got most of them. Minus some variants. . .
I've actually bought these growing up as a kid I had the Duke version one, heavy duty, Spirit iron knife, snake eyes, Storm Shadow and Zartan
I eventually picked up the ninja armor snake eyes and the Motorcycle.
A month or two later I found at a garage sale a used Destro there was a small stain or scratch on top of the head so I kind of threw me off but I had that.
Outside of that I never really picked up any of the others because of the time I was getting older and I was kind of phasing out of GI Joe for a little while so I made the very bad decision of selling my collection because now looking back on it I wish I had a chance to button some of the other figures, which is where ebay comes in.
i love these figures..i still have Duke with the quad bike..
I want to get the Duke with the Jet Wings, that looks pretty cool. You don't see stuff like that on GI Joes these days.
That’s a really good collection. I do hate it when I can’t find something, I end up opening every bind I have 😩
I really REALLY live the art style and exaggeration of the line, and I've always loved when action figure lines had playability like that I might try to collect this line.
The 8 inch Sigma scale was awesome. I was really disappointed when they canceled it before we could get Scarlett, Baroness, Dreadnoks, and Cobra Troopers. The vehicles were great, but they really dropped the ball with the figures that were supposed to interact with them by making them mostly little statues frozen in exaggerated action poses and glued to wide foot bases. Additionally, they re-released several older 3 3/4 vehicle molds into the line, but they didn't bother to re-tool the seats and cockpits so the 2 inch Sigma figures just rattled around and slipped into the area under the steering wheel. The 8 inch figures were the real stars though. I highly recommend the Battlefield General version of Cobra Commander because he comes with a faceplated helmet that looks more like the original and a massive, wicked looking bazooka that would make Scrap Iron blush!
I may have to grab a few of the big names. Never seen these before, and I'm loving the look!
Wasn't Lt. Stone the main character in the short-lived GI Joe Extreme line/show?
This was a cool line, and even though I didn't collect them, I pick up loose B.A.T.s every now and then. Those are great, and are perfect custom bases for giant Ultrons! The weapon designs are great, too.
I still haven't watched the GIJoe Extreme cartoon. You could be right.
You are not missing anything. If you manage to watch the minute-long opening, you pretty know everything you need about this thing.
I adored Sigma 6 as a kid, but I did only have ninjas and the robots. Which I'm totally gonan buy now
The show was really good. Got a bunch of these.
2005-2006: I was buying lap dances.... Should have bought more toys instead
Stuff like this is the reason I love this channel. So unique and the quality feels casual but still very professional. Love it
And we appreciate you watching and taking a moment to comment. Thanks!
2005-2006, I was buying Gundam and Marvel Legends.
I remember being underwhelmed when I saw these on the shelves. They seem a lot cooler now.
They're definitely cooler when they aren't the only choice available. It's not a style that will appeal to every collector.
G.I. Joe 6 inch Black Series please
Seconded.
Agreed!
Hey Hasbro!
Please do a 6 inch toy line of the 3 3/4 inch G.I. Joe's!
(Minus the neon coloring)
@@SecretGalaxyTV ♪♪These are the days, my friend!
Let's hope they never end... (Let's 👉 & 😂,
b'cuz their Nerf® 🔫s are silly!)♪♪
I remember I got a snake eyes figure for my birthday one year. I really liked the scale, accessories, and overall styling compared to the 12 inch figures I grew up with, but I just wasn't interested in the other figures.
Not my cup 'o tea at all, but I'll always sit through a DITPB video! Actually just starting to pick up some of my GI Joe faves in the 25th anniversary line.
Unrelated, but I must request - please never change the DITPB music, it always puts me in a good mood!
I loved this line I have cobra commander snake eyes, storm shadow, and destro that zartan looks fantastic.
I am starting my collection with only Sigma 6 vehicles, but the figures will come later, especially when I get a rotation displays for each and every one of them. I plan on getting the Storm Shadow Ninja Motorcycle with a red dragon on it soon, and I will talk about it in my next video on my channel.
Toward the end of the sigma 6 line they had a sort of off shoot of some of the figures marketed as the gi joe adventure team which would have a different outfit and come with animals. Paying homage to the original adventure team sets from the 60s/70s. I think there were only 3 or 4 in total. They're definitely worth picking up if you see any
Yeah I had the tiger not too long ago and then sold it with a bunch of duplicates that I had at the time. Kicking myself for not at least holding onto the darn tiger.
Ah man that sucks. I picked up the Recondo one with a crocodile when it was new, but haven't seen any others since. They also had some pretty nice concept sets for the series that ended up not getting released in the end
Cloth on figures always makes me think dolls, not action figures. Oh, and one more thing Dan, we need a Macross/Robotech epeisode of Toy Galaxy! Or better yet, TWO episodes-one for Macross , the other for Robotech!
Aw man, I bought this line when it came out - but had to sell it all. Still a huge regret of mine that I had to get rid of them - I group up with the 3-3/4" line, but I loved the design of these figures!
Yeah I owned a pretty good batch maybe 7 or 8 years ago and sold them all as well.
GI Joe was action force when I was a kid in the uk
Snake Eyes is a character like Optimus Prime or Wolverine...there should never be a moment when there isn't a "current" figure on the shelves. I'd like to see a "Titans Return" style GI Joe (6" line)
Love the line myself.
Have quite a few of the figures.
Where I live these are hard to come by figures.
Would love to get more myself.
never had any of these, they look nice though. These and Xevoz are on my list of "old" stuff to pick up.
I have the Duke in the blue vest, Long Range, the Destro and a Heavy Duty and Tunnel Rat from the line. Only one I have on a shelf is Destro but I have long Range's double barrel in his free hand cause come on, Destro with a double barrel for the win! lol
As a die hard Joe 3.75 collector, I still absolutely loved this line and bought many doubles to open up and display. The colorful costumes, fantastic POA (which is still impressive to me even by today's standards) and AWESOME accessories these figs came with just made them a ton of fun. Long Range is by far one of my favs with his ridiculous 8ft long sniper rifle that broke down into like a dozen pieces lol. Most importantly, I felt you were getting a real bang for your buck when it came to figure pricing/value. So many cool figures, especially the "combat force" sub-line which was more paramilitary styling and realistic. Grand Slam, Leatherneck, Inferno, Torpedo, Tunnel Rat, Destro V2 with his "bank robbing" gear, the Recondo box set, Shockwave, Lockdown, Wet Suit, Gung Ho, Iron Grenadier, Desert Wolf, etc etc etc. Despite the line not lasting long, Hasbro really provided a great assortment of characters with so much style, POA and accessories, that it doesn't even feel like the same company made them going by today's standards. Sure the line wasn't anything close to "traditional" but that's what made them unique and cool. I personally believe the line is one of the most underrated toy lines ever made.
It was a great attempt at "modernizing" the brand. Just wasn't what the older fans who grew up with it wanted at the time.
Oh no doubt and very true. The 25th anniversary SA 3.75 collection they released is still, in my opinion, the best thing that the company has ever done. It was VERY susccessful too (even outselling the then very good SW SA 3.75 lines at the time) and obviously led Hasbro to replicate the success by creating the same concept for the SW SA 3.75 Vintage Collection. Almost ten years later I am STILL bitter that the 25th/Vintage Joe line ended after only 18 months...to pave way for the movie line garbage. While I am more than for the idea of a 6in Vintage style boxed Black Series take on Joes, I would want nothing more than an extension/continuation of the 25th Joe line into a full fledged mainstream line, like they did for the SW SA 3.75 vintage collection...which they are finally bringing back next year due to fan demand. My son is 4 & 1/2 years old and would love nothing more than to take him to the store, actually buy joes again and let him experience the awesomeness of the brand as I did growing up. Of course, I would buy one of each for me as well lol. I own a rather ridiculous action figure collection and out of ALL of the lines that I have and have collected to completion over the past 20+ years, I would say having a full collection of every 25th era Joe figure/set/vehicle is probably still the crown jewel of it all. No matter what Hasbro does, for good or for bad, I'm still beyond pissed that there's not a single damn Joe figure/line on the market right now, 25th/vintage style or otherwise. Every time I hear the Hasbro team at cons talk about bringing back joes when the new movie comes out, I want to vomit in my mouth. The writing is on the wall. The success has been proven. Give the damn fans a SA 3.75 Vintage style Joe line again and IT...WILL...SELL. While their at it, make a 6in black series line too and Hasbro will have more money rolling in across both scales/lines than they know what to do with. Ahhhhh makes me so mad lol.
This line of Joes was an oddball, for sure, and and a bit of an acquired taste. Having grown up in the late 80's with the 3 3/4 figures as a standby, Sigma 6 figures seemed strange at first. Once I dipped my toes in, though...it made sense. Never saw the Sigma 6 cartoon either. My love for this line stems solely from the figures. The weapons, the proportions and scale, the modular aspect, the weapons, the anchor and attachment points for the weapons, the posing options and joints on the figures, as well as the weapons, make this line unique and immersive - regardless of any exterior input. The figures themselves, the accessories, and the packaging were interesting, and very functional.
Like many others have noted, the cloth and elastic will age questionably, and there is a bit of (mostly) cloth for these figures. Overall, the line is hugely creative, and very enjoyable once preconceived notions are set aside.
they always reminded me of small soldiers the commando elite !
100%.
I'm collecting the Classified right now, but these look great. I might check on ebay see how much these guys run for
In 2005 I was waiting for Hot Rod to take over for Optimus Prime. Lol.
No but seriously, I was unemployed so no toys for me. :(
Otherwise, I would've been buying Sigma 6. I did eventually get some figures but not the whole collection.
This isn't the first time Joe had been 8 inches. There was a Super Joe line that was out in the 70s. I believe it was an off shoot of the Adventure Team line.
I have Snakes Eyes (reg), Firefly (reg), Stormshadow, Ninja BAT, and Cobra Commander. I picked them up only because I had purchased all the current Transformer figures at the time, and I was curious. I pulled them from storage the other day. Stormshadow's white had yellowed, so to fellow collectors that is a issue with this toy and how you store it.
Ugh. Yellowed white cloth/plastic is the bane of my collecting life.
I own a few of these. I LOVED that Destro figure when I bought it.
Can't beat the chunkiness and the oversize weapons.
Toy Galaxy They have kind of a Joe Madureira/American manga style.
The Sigma 6, Flint is one of my all-time favorite action figures
So glad you covered this because I was just thinking of them after the whole AM Driver/Centurions talk. Don't own a single piece yet, but its been on my radar for a couple of years now.
i actually have 2 figures from Sigma 6, ones a Snakes eyes that came w/ Storm Shadow as a 2 pack (got it w/ my cousin when we were younger cuz I really liked Snake Eyes an he like Storm Shadow) an the other was Kamakura
That show was awesome and cool
Long range looks like Golgo13
At the time I was hoping for a Marvel Legends style G.I. Joe line.....then we got this......
Hey Dan could you do a buyers guide for Star Wars black series?
He may tell you to get if not start with the Target Rogue one 3 pack that is on sale at target right now and you can find even cheaper at Ross if you're lucky which I have yet to. Definitely the new 40th anniversary Vader. A good Luke is the hard part Xwing Luke is expensive ROTJ and ESB as well maybe landspeeder Luke which is on clearance? Han and 40th anniversary Leia can be found reasonably still I think. Don't know what after that depends on if you like A Force Awakens or want to stick to the original trilogy. I hope they do make one regardless of what I say here. Anyway Good luck!
First time i have ever seen these thank you for showing im now off to ebay
I really love this series and also enjoy collecting them specially since there are not that many
I've picked up about 20 Sigma 6 Joes over the last few years and I really enjoy them. I've actually gotten a little bored with the current 6" Classified GI Joes, and I am looking back to Sigma 6 again :)
Just curious Dan, are you like me in thinking that GI Joe would be ripe for a reboot in 6 inch? I'm not saying it couldn't be a companion to a 3 3/4 a la star wars. But a 6 inch Joe line NEEDS to happen!
Love this line, don't mind the scale, love the weapons!!!
This was a great line. Randomly opened an old storage container and found 2 dozen of these. The tunnel rat and spirit were two surprises for me.
TWO DOZEN!!!! Nice!
I loved this line. I had almost all of the ones in your video plus a bunch of others (including Cobra Commander). Loved the style, weapons, and figures were very playable. Best was they came with weapon cases with foam inserts to carry guns. So awesome.
The foam in the cases really made it feel important.
I love this line of G.I.Joe
This video re-validated my childhood! Since this toy line is quite obscure especially in my country, I have no clue what's it called or if it truly existed! Seeing it again brought all the fun memories with my single figure from this line. Thanks for the trip to nostalgia lane Dan! appreciate it!
You're welcome! Thanks!
Growing up i had Duke, heavy duty. Snake eyes. Spirit iron knife, storm shadow, zartan, and the jungle armor snake eyes. I got a destro from a garage salr downside to him was he has a yellow stain on the top of his head, maybe a paint chip i dont know.
1 figure I would like to have had or I'm probably going to end up buying mostly because I like the way he looks in his design is the lieutenant Stone figure
The Toxic Zartan is awesome
I NEED IT!
There is one for $29 on eBay right now
Try a shop here in the Seattle area it's called Bobakhan they have some Sigma Six figures and I think I saw a toxic Zartan still in the package
I liked Lieutenant Stone mostly because of the design of the figure.
Lt. Stone was from gi joe extreme
Rory Lumley a very different character thought, this was a drastically new take, same
For Long Range, there was a previous Longe Rage, who was a red headed vehicle driver !
Dan, Sea Ops Duke (from sigma six) is my favorite action figure of all time. You should pick it up as soon as possible.
[Heading over to yojoe.com to look it up...]
Toy Galaxy I’m not sure if that’s the official name for the figure. Yojoe.com calls it duke (v2)
Icing on the cake would be a Zartan with a color change.
Sheesh brings back memories haha
I must confess that I have a LOT of these guys...Just got all caught up in the acquisition of any thing Joe-related. They were kinda cool in concept, like you said! BackBlast, Grand Slam and Heavy Duty were huge, like 9" Tall Duke Flint Gung Ho, Spirit etc. were around 8" tall and Tunnel Rat was about 7" tall. So, you had realistic size differences, and some figures had spring loaded hands(sort of Kung Fu Grip). And some versions of Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow had double jointed elbows and knees for additional poseabilty...But, They didn't stick around and faded fast!!!! Now, I have a bin full of low mileage figures!!! But, it's all good!!!! It had potential, but, I guess Hasbroke failed to commit!
I started a collection,thinking of starting to finish it
I suppose I am In the minority as I really liked this line. I am a 3 3/4 collector from way back. I found a lot to like about this reimagining. I own most of the character releases and enjoy displaying them along with my 3 3/4 line as it sparks conversation when I have company.
1st time seeing this line and i like it - the figure size, gimmicks, connector ports and all. my fav are green giant cannon duke and sky bat. think i'll check these out...btw did u find ur cobra commander?
Not yet... not yet.
I have the Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow figures, along with the Ninja Bike for the 8" figures. I did like the line, just never got around to buying more figures. Also, there was a line of smaller figures in 2.5" scale I believe, which is also the scale of figures all the vehicles for the line were made for, which was a shame because the line had some really cool vehicle concepts, but you couldn't then use them with 3.75" figures. Additionally, all the 2.5" figures for the line were basically statues as I recall from the promotional material, and I'm not interested in statue type figures especially in GI Joe which has always had highly articulated figures, which is why I never bought any of those. I could be wrong about the level of articulation on the 2.5" figures though.
Yep. There's a whole visual archive over at yojoe.com: www.yojoe.com/sigma6/toys/2006/
In the time these came out, I stopped buying Transformers ARMADA toys coz I got most of them that came out on retail. I was very much into buying and completing the toy line of MARVEL LEGENDS by ToyBiz. I also Got some of the toys from the Classics X-men and Spider-man line. Occasionally I get a ToyBiz TNA and JAKKS WWE Action figures too. Also, I Got all the TMNT from the series that came out in the time and HE-MAN stuff. Damn I spent most of my money on toys. I think I survived living in college with only Cans of Tuna and rice and instant Noodles. XP
I own only 5 Sigma Six action figures. I was so hyped when these were about to come out. I Played with my Snake Eyes a lot. If the designs of these Action figure were based on their appearance for THE REAL AMERICAN HERO line, I would have bought more.
I feel like it would have done better as an alternative line that wasn't being sold as the main line. Room for both in my opinion.
:)
Have to be honest, I never liked this line. I just want/wanted a 6" or 7" scaled Real American Hero line. Seems crazy to me that Hasbro hasn't played around in those scales for G.I. Joe when they're making so much money with Star Wars and Marvel Legends.
Every time NY Toy Fair or SDCC or ANY of the cons rolls around I cross my fingers and hope for the announcement but nothing will happen until they have a movie ready to go.
Tired of waiting!!! lol
Well I hope the Classified line is what you were hoping for.
@@ghareebcolt3954 It's a pretty decent line. Snake Eyes, Destro and Cobra Commander are the standouts for me so far.
