Title: Sigma Six's main team
Post by: Redmao on April 14, 2005, 07:31:07 PM

Yup unless you've read it somewhere else, read it here for the first time! I read it in toyfare magazine.

Sigma 6 main 6 will be.... Duke, Snake Eyes, Scarlett, Heavy Duty, Tunnel Rat and a new guy named Long Haul. Wait what about that Spirit figure?? Well he'll make regular guest appearance as the article goes.

So we have it here, the typical team, the leader(Duke), the mysterious guy(SE), the girl, the kid or funny character (TR), the tough guy (HD) and Long Haul who probably be the driver guy...

This new line really doesn't interest me.
I wish it did, but it basically means I now have more money for Marvel Legends, and a couple of other toy lines.

I guess the feeling is general. I'm kinda sad to realise that I'm not part ofthe main target for gi joe anymore... part of being an adult  I guess... A younger (much younger) generation is aimed at now. I guess its time to let them have their joes, though I doubt it will be like what we had in the eighties...

We'll always have the Joes we already have. I guess the tricky part is being unable to enjoy our current collections, and always craving more. When we're kids, we can't get more because our parents won't allow it. Now, we can't get more because Hasbro won't allow it.

It's a little frustrating, but should it be?

I always thought that Hasbro would do really well if they did small runs using old/modified molds - like the comic three packs and TRU 6 packs, but do them in smaller runs specifically geared to collectors.

But then none of this stuff would ever come to Canada anyway.

It shouldn't be frustrating. Even if we can't get new figures, no one can't take what we have nor the memories of playing with those figures as kids.

I just hope the cartoon looks great...after all, its said that Gonzo studio (Check out jet-fighting anime Yukikaze) is behind it.

I am only looking forward to watching the cartoon.  I could care less about the toy line.

What I meant is, it's frustrating to always crave more. Oh well. Ever since I got my new job, I've been getting lots of new toys. No Joes, however. I won't be getting any Sigma Six either.
