Debating On Jumping Into The Sideshow G.I. Joe Line...

I love the figures, but couldn't catch them all. I have most open and displayed on a shelf, but several are still sitting in their boxes unopened.

They're very pricey but soooo awesome. My favorites are Beach Head, Cobra Trooper Zartan and Firefly. Only missed out on 3 or 4. The Hot Toys Snake Eyes is far superior to the Sideshow versions though.

Man, I miss the G.I. Joe line from Sideshow!!! I was able to get some great figures during their run. It started with Firefly, then before I knew it I had Beachead, Dusty, Lt. Falcon, the dessert Cobras, General Hawk, Baroness, Cobra Commander, Storm Shadow v.2, Rock n Roll, Snake-Eyes and Timber, Zartan, two ninjas and Destro!!!

The one thing I regret not getting were the environments. That dessert diorama was cool, and the Arashikage Temple was epic.

I wanted the Temple for my 3 3/4” figures.

Would there be any interest in some Sideshow Joes? I have several I’m looking to sell that are unopened.

I agree that the line is addictive. I had planned on keeping my collection small but wound up eventually getting almost the whole figure line, including Lt. Falcon which I believe is a SDCC exclusive. I picked up over half of them on ebay and went for the previously displayed but complete figures which allowed me to get them at a lower price. I even picked up the hot toys Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. I am still looking for the Cobra Desert Sniper, which I lost out on in an auction, but I want to get it for less than what it is currently being sold for on eBay.

I didn't get any of the environment sets because they are so expensive on the secondary market, but it would be great to have them. I also really wish that they had made figures of Scarlett and Roadblock. They are major Joe characters and are noticeably missing. Otherwise, I really enjoy the line.

BBTS has the Baroness for a few bucks off MSRP. I'm not a statue or large-scale figure collector, but it sure looks pretty cool!
