| I would, but is there a reason why they would cost $20? That's $5+ more than the msrp of the Commando pricepoint figures. If it is due to inflation and whatnot, that's understandable.
With that said, I would buy these granted that the bodies are changed. I would prefer more realistic proportions. I think if that were done, these figures would outsell the 12" joes currently on shelves. The 8" bodies already had more articulation than the current 12" joes, with a realisticly styled/proportionate body, there would be no reason for the 12" joes to even be on shelves. I would like to have the double ball jointed elbows and knees on these figures, such as those found on the Dojo Snake Eyes, jetpack Storm Shadow, and helipack Snake Eyes from Sigma 6. Those joints were innovative. The best things about the new 12" figures are the new head sculpts. They look good, though some are out of proportion compared to some of the bodies, unfortunately. If we could get realistic head sculpts for the 8" line, as well as proportionate limbs, hands and feet, I'd be happy, coupled with the double jointed elbows/knees.
As toys, I've always felt that the Sigma 6 figures were better toys than the regular 12" figures(unless you count the super articulated versions, then it's harder to compare). The accessories were the things that attracted me to Sigma 6 as well as the consistency, add in everything I mentioned above, and I'm sold.
