So instead of making core characters everyone wants, like Firefly or Zartan, they take a cue from Hasbro and release a repaint. For a hundred dollars. So glad I don't collect dolls.

Well, look, I couldn't resist the SE...have one in the mail from a 3rd party...and I have Duke preordered. But I have to agree with you here, though not for the same reasons. If I'm going to drop 100 bucks on a toy/collector's item, it better be a core character from whatever universe. Firefly for $100? Sure. Zartan? Absolutely. Beachhead, Shipwreck or Flint? Yes, yes, and yes. But...Cobra Sniper....? Looks cool, but not $100 cool.

Thank you for understanding. I won't buy them, yet I do understand the draw of these. $100 for this, while cool, is way too much, and strikes me as little more than a quick cash grab from a company that makes tons of profit off these figures.

Yeah, this seems like a pretty transparent cash grab. I doubt there are any "new parts" involved in this figure; it is probably essentially a Sideshow Frankenjoe. And hey, good for them if people buy it. Capitalism and all. Just won't get my dollar.

Yeah big deal, hes a regular Blue Trooper with black gear that they already released, I am army building the hell out of these type of guys! Don't got the money to play? Then step back....Its a plus that he is a classic cobra troop and not an ROC turtle viper! Gawd Sideshow don't you dare change lines on us to ROC ever!

artiepants

10-29-2009, 10:09 PM

Is there any difference between him and the Officer?
I guess a sniper is cooler, but it surprises me if they were going to go the "repaint" route they wouldn't do a Stinger Driver instead, since it's a 'canon' redeco...

vadersquest

10-29-2009, 10:11 PM

I hope they continue to give us troops. This might not have new parts per say but we do have a silver signal cobra trooper. Thats the way I look at it.

senorvandal

10-29-2009, 10:12 PM

I'm digging it... but at the same time like Foolproof pointed out $100 for what basically amounts to a repaint is pretty steep. Perhaps if they had some extra accessories or gear. Just one rifle and one pistol, there should be NVGs and maybe even some type of Ghillie Suit. That would better justify the price IMO.

CrimsonGuard101

10-29-2009, 10:13 PM

Plus mixing and mathcing gear/clothing at some point with all of these could present some awesome configurations...though I dread trying to undress and redress these big figures LOL thier little buckles and stuff, theres soooo many and so much to work with, I dun have the patience for that LOL...

10-29-2009, 10:20 PM

haven't bought any of these ( yet ) but the trooper just arrived at my local comic shop and this one is pretty cool. i'm not a real core character kinda guy so this would be fine with me.

It's only a matter of time now. If they can make a sad repaint/retool like the Bazooka Trooper, i'm sure a "Sniper Trooper" won't be far off.

CrimsonGuard101

10-29-2009, 10:30 PM

He is a perfect base too for a Crimson Shadow Guard (wish they woul dmake at least a CG, they woul dnail it like hardcore comapred to that horendous thing that was at joe con...), even in a 3 3/4 mode a Crimson Shadow Guard Sniper would be badass...time to go beat up a cobra trooper to repaint!

You have to admit, "Sniper Trooper" would be way better than the latest troop building repaint "Nano-Viper"

True, very true... hell i'd probably buy 10 just to fill the dearth of troop builders that have actually been worth buying lately. If it wasn't for the EEL, Para-Viper and Snow Serpent repaints there's a good chance i wouldn't have bought a single figure for the rest of the year.

ordered 2

I believe other than the rifle the head is different, haven't compared to others but read on other forums that it is indeed different.

To get this license is probably costing SS a crap load of $$ so they are going to make as many troopers as they can until they don't sell anymore.

I don't have a huge problem with it, of course I want main characters, but it doesn't take away from the other "core" characters they are planning for many years (that was also already confirmed) it is a simple retool that you don't have to buy if you don't want to.

If they put out all the main characters early the line will surely die out very quickly, and we won't get to see the b, c, and d characters.

Patience they have already done quite a bit with this line so far, and I am sure it will get much better.

thats cool, but I tired of putting out $100 for a 12" figure only for a repainted clothed figure...why couldn't they given us a Cobra Viper...would of made more sense

spazzy

10-29-2009, 11:40 PM

more time and development to come up with a Cobra viper, this is just a couple simple retools.

Do you people think all the characters are just done and sitting on shelves waiting to be the next one in line to order??

C'mon with hasbro approvals, design, prototypes this takes months and months.

I bet this along with the officer was decided when they made the trooper.

10-29-2009, 11:45 PM

Hawk 7222

10-29-2009, 11:55 PM

Actually Hot Toys 1/6 scale retail for considerably more. It's a good idea and not a complete repaint. Custom making a 1/6 scale figure at this end of the quality scale costs in that price range anyways.

klinton

10-29-2009, 11:58 PM

As nice as it is...I'd rather it be a less generic character. I mean, all the little bits are nice, but can be readily found at a hobby craft shoppe for less.

Like someone said earlier in here: I don't mind dropping a hundred dollars on a unique sculpt and costume, but this has nothing stand out to merit the tag.

DPrime

10-30-2009, 06:26 AM

Well, KIND of disappointing, to be quite honest. I mean, they already announced a repaint - the "Cobra Officer" - fairly recently. This is a nice looking figure but I kind of wish they had sat on the mold/design for a while and released this down the road sometime. It'd be a perfect SDCC (or whatever) exclusive.

I pre-ordered it, but I may cancel it down the road, especially since there's no exclusive (yet?) and shipping from Sideshow to Canada is so expensive. I kind of want to get every one of these, but I might just decide to wait and get it from a board member or something after its release.

It's only a matter of time now. If they can make a sad repaint/retool like the Bazooka Trooper, i'm sure a "Sniper Trooper" won't be far off.

I'm surprised Hasbro NEVER did up a trooper in black like this. The closest example I can think of is the Action Force "Hunter" character who was a repaint of a Cobra Officer and was actually a good guy who was a member of the SAS.

I have picked up some of the recent bootleg RAH Cobra Troopers in black which are of a very high quality. This reminds me of them quite bit.

Jmacq1

10-30-2009, 06:38 AM

Hells yeah, placed an order, cancelled my Pre-order for the lame Officer for this guy! Wow he looks hella cool! Wish Sideshow would do 3 3/4 inch figs, would be a whole new world of awesome since they seem to know and want to make good figures, especially original ones like this one!....

Yeah, because people would be THRILLED to pay $30 for one 3 3/4" figure.

Oh wait, no they wouldn't. Way to kill the G.I. Joe line.

Jad

10-30-2009, 08:07 AM

It's a cool figure, but not essential. If I were collecting this line, I would pass on it.

(GI)Joe

10-30-2009, 08:47 AM

hmm idk , im a little torn on this one .. i love the way he looks in black but in all the pic's it dosent even look like he can hold the gun right so thats turning me off to this figure big time .. but i agree its not an essential figure to have and just seems that sideshow spit this one out to make some more grub

JustinX

10-30-2009, 09:00 AM

Pre-ordered him... a really nice trooper, but Sideshow is killing the wallet. They are releasing one every month now with my Cobra Officer and the throne environment due out before the end of the year. Timber withe the Waypoint environment should be in my hands on Monday. I agree it's like a "repaint" for Sideshow to do this, and I really like the figure, but we need some more Joes to even things out. Sideshows coming out so fast is taking me out of the 3 3/4 game right now, except for some select figures. In my opinion, Sideshows really are the ultimate Joes.

Neat concept. I wish they had given the blue suit the Dragunov rifle, as the original figure had, instead of the AK. Out of my budget, but maybe I'll get lucky and find a way to get my hands on that rifle.

Do a search on 1/6th Dragunov on Ebay and you'll find some high-quality ones right now.

Steel Brigade

10-30-2009, 11:24 AM

SHARP!!
Nicely crafted somewhat unique Trooper.
Sideshow has done some amazing work with their GI Joe line as a whole.

I'd like to see this come out as a 3 3/4 inch too, using the Resolute Cobra Trooper as a base...

To those of you in Canada, there are some sites that have (mostly) pretty good deals on Sideshow stuff (well at least one does). PM if you're interested. It may take a little longer than directly ordering from Sideshow, but it's worth it.

As for me, my Cobra troopers are finally arriving either today or Monday, and I picked up the Cobra Commanders and Snake Eyes. Since I'm not buying 3 3/4" anymore, I can justify these guys.

Sideshow has stated they're doing Firefly and Beachhead...plus they've got the dioramas and whatnot coming too (plus environments). I think they're doing a pretty good job so far. They know everyone likes to troop build, and at $100 you can get one of each or multiples of certain guys. I bought two Cobra troopers, but I'll probably only get one of every other trooper...

Here's hoping the next SS GI Joe is a Joe though...preferably Beachhead (or Scarlett).

CrimsonGuard101

I would be sorry very willin gto pay $30 from sideshow (Hasbro coul dnot market such a product due to thier lack luster ability to do it a 3 3/4 line anyway) you don't have the funds personally to play at that level, but who wouldn't BUY a $30 figure made emacualtey from Sideshow??? People pay $30-50 right for ebay rare garbage joe figures right now...comon get your hread out of the clouds...

The Mad Bubbler

10-30-2009, 02:57 PM

Looks cool, but, yeah, as some have said, it's another troop, and for $100.00, I want soemthing different. I haven't picked up any of the Sideshow Joes yet (they do look well-done, but a bit pricier than I want to pay), but if they make a really nice Destro, Baroness, Serpentor, Scarlett, etc., I may have to pick them up.

Are you fucking kidding me? You collect GI Joes and you say that Hasbro makes lackluster figures? Or are you going to say that's irony too? I don't pay $30 for GI Joes because I can pay $8 for something that may not be in your top tier bullshit, but is fun and look good enough for the price point.

I know I'm opening myself up to the argument of price increases, but let's just ignore that for the sake of not getting into it.

It would most definitely kill this line. Not everyone pays $30 for figures on ebay, because not everyone can afford to. Now I have to sign up with Sideshow and sign bullshit and wait for a specific date to receive my item with the possibility of not being home to pick it up? No thanks. You just killed the line.

I don't understand how sideshow making 3 3/4 inch figures for $30 kills the GI JOE Hasbro line please explain? Sideshow takes it's time and creates awesome well done 12inch figures as is and their workmanship would be superior to Hasbros figures on any 3 3/4 scale figure if they ever did them. They even come up with original figures like this Sniper and Hasbro can't even be bothered to do so? The only risk Hasbro would run is loosing high end collectors who value the work Sideshow does to make these types of figures (or 3 3/4 figures for that matter). Honeslty with the lack of support that Hasbro is throwing for ARAH due to ROC stuff, a different manufactuer who wants to produce figures of this magnitude is needed, and I see no one other than sideshow that has the inclincation. More power to em if they ever do em, and if they do.... will definelty get my $30 per figure....

At Sideshow's current rate of inflating the costs of their items if they made 4" figures they would be in the $30-40 price range. Too rich for my blood (and I think most people out there), but to you millionaires knock yourselves out !

Sometimes I regret buying so many 3 3/4" figures @ $7.99 rather than using that money to get one of these.

Yeah, I stopped buying the 3 3/4" earlier this year. Blowtorch was my last. I even skipped the Cobra Island stuff (somewhat regrettably, since I was waiting forever for Mindbender). I moved, packed it all away and now just display 12" (same goes for Star Wars). I don't regret it, especially since the Rise of Cobra stuff pales in comparison to Real American Hero for me.

You do not have to be a millionaire to enjoy these that is silly...it's just 12 Joe figures (or less if you count the gas/shipping/additional figures form a full case you may or may not want you end up with just to get the one figure, you pay to get them) or 12-15 stops at Starbucks a month, 8-10 times of going to a nice restruant for dinner a month Beer runs or cigrettes etc. Just depends on what your priorities are on. I cancelled my premium level HD ($100/month) TV stations to have extra funds ever so often for one of these. Not like they release them every freaking other day...plenty of time to save between releases.

sigh , sideshow wins again!! just ordered one for myself and brother. i wasnt going to but damn these just look to awesome. i stopped buying the 3 3/4 figures once the 25th line was dead so im saving a bunch of money to put towards sideshow

dont have to be a millionaire for these figs.. just where your priorities lie thats all.. good thing with the sideshow stuff is they offer the pre-order pretty far in advance of the acutal release date so every pay check i take out 20 - 25 bux and put it in my sideshow enevelope, and i dont mind paying the extra cash for good quality.

Fred Broca

11-01-2009, 06:44 PM

These figures have 30 points of articulation. With that many points of articulation, how is new figure going to be different that what's already out there?

I'm the first to admit, Sideshow is vastly overpriced, (especially C.C.'s throne.) unfortunately they get away with it because the product is hot.

My only complaint is that since Sideshow is charging so much for the figure, is the COBRA ensign should be an actual patch.

Say what you will about the COBRA sniper, that figure is a better dollar value than DC Direct's Wonder Woman will ever be.

(GI)Joe

11-01-2009, 09:45 PM

I see that glassy-eyed look in their eyes and think that if my dad had some of these back in the day when I was a little GI Joe collecting machine (still am), I probably would have died and gone to heaven. Thus, in my case, the kids and I enjoy hours of fun putting these deluxe figures on display and occasionally we might even include them among our play figures (read that as, careful kids or daddy will kick your butt).

When I was a kid, I'd save every penny and gladly blow it at the local stores on Joes... Now you can't buy them all but the kid in me can't pass up these sideshow beauties either. I'll let you grown-ups debate the ethical dilemma of Sideshow's exorbitant pricing, but consider this: Would Duke let mere money stand in the way of recruiting a deluxe Joe team member from Sideshow? Would Cobra Commander let mere financial obstacles impede his plans to own as many awesome figures? What does the kid in you say? All I can see is my children (and myslef) all goggley-eyed and smiled every time one of these cash cows comes in the mail.

(As for you negative nay-sayer types: Good grief, I am beginning to wonder if some of the wives/girl-friends of the hopelessly addicted collectors are writing some of the stuff on these forums)! Yo Joe - The kid in me is signed up to get one!

The Kid in me can't justify the ridiculously high price tag. :)

I believe other than the rifle the head is different, haven't compared to others but read on other forums that it is indeed different.

It's definitely a different head sculpt. I have the Trooper and his eyes suggest he's about to go on a PCP induced killing spree. Whereas the sniper has a calm, albeit nefarious look in his eyes.
