Sideshow stuff is always nice. Real adult-collector oriented stuff.

Food for thought: would you trade your 3 3/4" collection for Sideshow stuff? (equal value's worth)

And back on topic: I love Sideshow's work but I will not buy every collection that has the Gi joe name on it, otherwise I'd become broke, and start running out of space long before that. The Cobra soldier is my favorite so far.

Based on the quality of the Cobra officer that I have, the Viper will be awesome.
Very tempting...

You have it all wrong..  :shifty: here's the og. question: would you trade your 3 3/4" collection for Sideshow stuff? (equal value's worth)
..Well, I could get 3000 Sideshow dolls with that kind of trade! :lol:
No seriously I have around 4000 figures, but LJ is right.. most of them are army builders (my biggest armies are blueshirts, cg's, BATS, Techno-Vipers, Tele-Vipers, Vipers, Crimson Shadow Guards, Greenshirts...etc) I'm trying to collect the International stuff these days but man, this is so pricey  :'(


..btw bandy, 900 is a lot of figures.. you're a collector since how many years?..I'm in since '86..

This is the first Sideshow release that hits on all cylinders with me. It's an accurate reflection of a design I love, it represents some of what I think of as the core of the GI Joe mythos, and it's not a character that I have another homage piece for.

I could not resist, so I pre-ordered one. I have been happy with the Sideshow stuff. I hope they come out with a Destro and Zartan soon.

It gives credit for the traffic to those over at "the site that shall not be named."

Hurm.  I thought it was just a subtle reference, and actually laughed out loud!
