| For those who don't go to Spawn.com oir JoeBattleLines, these 8 figures are just the tip of the iceberg. While these 8 figures are all expected to be out by June at the latest (we've already got the 3 waves of 2007 released), the line looks to be radically altered later in the year. I don't know if they are ending Sigma 6 and starting a new series (ala the typical TF theme change such as Energon changing to Cybertron), or if this is a new sub-theme withing Sigma 6 (like Unicron Battles in Armada). What we seem to be getting is 3 sublines for the 8 inch figures - Military, Adventure Team, and Kung Fu. This is from an illegally leaked catalog sheet, and there is absolutely no detail provided beyond names (which can change considerably).
The lineup given is:
Adventure Team - Animal toys? Or Joes with animal sidekicks? Siverback, Tiger, Desert Scorpion, Great White, Panther, Raptors
Kung Fu - Flint, Infiltration SE, Yakuza SS, Street Bike BAT
Military - Leatherneck, Shockwave, Sandstorm
Yes, you read that right - Kung Fu Flint. Try not to cry.
In addition to all these, we also have:
ExoDuke (Duke w/ mech armor?)
Agent Pantha (same as Adv Team Panther?)
Destro Battle
Samurai Snake Eyes
Ninja Elemental
Iron Fist
Wild Weasel
Heavy Metal
Undercover Snake Eyes (same as Infiltration SE?)
Overkill
A Dreadnok
Maybe a Viper (though this could have evolved into the Iron Grenadier)
This is going to be a busy, busy year.
