Title: G.I. JOE SIGMA SIX

Press Release (http://http://www.hasbro.com/media/pl/page.release/dn/default.cfm?release=349)

Well the 12" collectors are going to be pissed off. And I will be really pissed off if Hasbro got rid of the 3 3/4 line in favour of this.  Hopefully more details will be released.  But this smells like the Savage stuff all over again.

sure a new animated serie is cool but...8 inch figures??? real pants on Spirit... Man this is too much... the animated craze that took everything even got its claws on joe... Sure the new figs are nice but...its not the same.

Looks like the new manga comic will have some toy support...its going to need it...the Heman line went this way and is now the way of the dodo...these Joes will flop I bet...unless the cartoon is prime time and can be seen by every kid...! :|

These guys aren't that bad.  Stylized to the max, yeah, but they LOOK cool.  And ya have to admire the amount of gear they come with even if it's kinda futuristic.  They're certainly eye-catching and I can dig the intention on Hasbro's part.  

But 8" figures at $15 each?   Um, no.  That's too much of both conditions IMO.

And I should add that if they do a S6 version of Zartan, I WILL buy him.  That would be sweet!   (I will not get my hopes up!)

Man,
I was away for a few days and I come back to see this. Man, I missed a lot. What a shocker. All the boards are flooded with speculation and fear.

I'm glad joe will finally get it's own toon, but I hope it won't be cheesy.

What this means for the 12 and 3 3/4 line? Time will tell.

Has everyone forgotten about the original Power Ranger - they were 8" figures and they sold for $20.00 (each), and guess what, they sold huge.

Ah. I still have my original Green and White Ranger figs (along with Dragonzord and Tigerzord)

err... I mean, Power Rangers are silly!

The only time any Power Ranger sold for $20 was maybe at a flea market by some picker...!!


Power Rangers were 9.97 when they hit the stores...I worked for the toy department in a major retail store back then and can still remember saying to myself...these will not sell...not for 10 bucks each...!!! :shifty:...at a toy r us...but at walmart...who knows? :shifty:
