3.75'' Sigma 6 HISS and Cobra Trooper
« on: September 13, 2010, 07:38:59 PM »
I figured it was time to show Sigma 6 some love. Granted the show was... not up to our expectations and the scale change... ruffled a few feathers. However, I believe that there were some very cool designs that came out of the Sigma 6 era.

For one thing, the DTC HISS is, IMHO, probably the best rendition of Cobra's iconic tank since version 2. The Sigma 6 version was scaled to fit the 2.5'' figures. It included the driver (who was referred to as Cobra Trooper in the cartoon).

Since, these toys exist only in 2.5'' scale, I decided to make my own. I still have a few touch-ups, details and stickers to add. I still have to paint those fuel tanks on the side and I'm still convinced that I can find a better helmet for the trooper, but I'm pretty happy with the way these turned out. As always, feel free to comment.  :-)

Very Nice Work!  I still claim that Sigma6 is the Go-Bots version of GI Joe!

Thanks guys, I'm glad you like them. I wasn't sure about the trooper.  :)

I know S6 isn't everyone's cup of tea, but I think that there were some pretty cool elements. I've always wondered why Hasbro hasn't revisited that trooper in 3 3/4''.

Is that a Star Wars blaster?

Very nice work.

You get a timbit.

Thanks. Yup, Star Wars blaster is from one of the Battle Droids I think. I figured that it fit in pretty well with Sigma's futuristic look.

The chest armor is also Star Wars, from a Clone Trooper.
