Wow. Well, that sucks. I wasn't full on into SS, but I figured they were doing well enough with GI Joe that it would continue. Geez.

They got some of the most iconic figures done, and some second stringers too, so it can't be that much of a surprise.

SS doesn't produce a lot of Joe figs each year. Nothing at SDCC probably means nothing for the rest of 2014. How does that mean good old "death of teh line?"

That sucks, though I don't collect this sounds bad...

Not a surprise considering how many recent figures have yet to sell out and how many have gone on sale. It started with V1 Snake-Eyes, in-stock and gift-card eligible, and Bludd who still has even his exclusive version in-stock and gift-card eligible. CC and Baroness have now joined him in the same boat. Destro and SS V2 are in stock but they're newer. Plus 4 Hot Toys movie figures are available, 2 gift-card eligible. They're a little overstocked right now.
Anyone looking to buy one, bookmark this Sideshow Freaks thread. There is a monthly $20 off code for Sideshow orders that's been going on for about a year now and always gets posted there. http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/fo...-do-with-codes Last edited by JediJones; 06-14-2014 at 07:44 PM.. |

Not surprising but it is disappointing. I had high hopes for a Scarlett, especially after the awesome Baroness release. Too many people complaining about and not buying the recent stuff though.

-SSC Alex For those that don't have experience with Sideshow, typically when they announce a line is on hiatus it usually means the end of the line. they did a great job with the cobras they have released, but the joe side is lacking. shipwreck, tunnel rat, lowlight, spirit, scarlett… so many possibilities.
