Updated 12/18/14. Please see my recent post for the updates.
So a quick update! Edited 4/15/2014 So far I've picked up Sideshow Excusives on Cobra Commander, and Baroness. And I have a non Excusives Zartan. Right now in Flex pay I've got the Non exclusive Snake Eyes and Timber, and the exclusive Major Blood on a payment plan. Top of my wants right now are a Cobra Viper, Crimson Guard. And my next flex pays are Storm Shadow and Destro. I really like that General Hawk figure also. Does anyone have a Cobra Viper for sale? Exclusive isn't necessary.

I have bought most of the releases and the Cobra Throne and the Arashikage temple. My thoughts are below.
1. What are some of the best Cobra figures? - Hands down the best Cobra thus far is Firefly. Easily my favorite. I really like the Cobra Troopers and the Crimson Guard. The Viper is kinda ehh to me to be honest. Not a fan of the look of the vipers pants and boots next to the other figures. It looks much more Science Fiction than the other releases thus far. 2. Have you tried Sideshow's payment plans, and how did that plan go. - I have not used the plan, but i know many do, and have heard no complaints other than it could delay a new release to you if you havent made the final payment and Sideshow receives the shipment from overseas early. 3. Does anyone have a Cobra Viper, and or Cobra Trooper for sale? I do not. 4. What is a fair price for a Storm Shadow, and do you think Sideshow will do another Storm Shadow in his first costume again? I think anything in the $250 range is a good deal on him. There was an exclusive version that came with Nunchuks. The Exclusive version goes for much more. I do not think that we will see another V1 for many years. If you want a Storm Shadow, buy a V1 on the market or pre-order the new V2. |

Welcome to the Tank,
The Baroness will be my first Sideshow figure and its expected to arrive tomorrow I used the payment plan and had no issues. It was nicer to have the cost spread out over 3 months than 1 large sum. I personally think Firefly, Storm Shadow and Zartan are the best looking and agree with Cksport that you won't see SS in original costume again as they are releasing a V2 and have so many other characters to choose from. |

Man, so many awesome figures I've seen. Thank you for your responses. I'm really going to have to narrow down what I should get first. So far it's down to Cobra Commander, Crimson Guard, Zartan. But, the Baroness and Destro are coming out. And I really want to pick up that Cobra Viper and Firefly that are sold out. Too many choices!

I've been able to resist the temptation this far, but I'd definitely say I've almost lost the battle when it comes to firefly. Not only is he my favorite character, but I would also agree with those who think it's the best sideshow Cobra figure. There are some good joe figures as well, but they really nailed it with FF, IMO.

Your getting in late! The figures use to cost $80-120 and now are $190-220!
IMO the best ones are Hot Toys!! So you should look into those, even though they're based off the movie. Hot Toys does a way better job then Sideshow. I'm actually thinking about getting out of Sideshow collecting, I have all the 12" figures and 80% of the statues for Joes. But with figures doubling in price over the last 3yrs and the statues all costing $350 and up, it's just getting too exspensive. Firefly is selling for $400? damn, makes it hard to hold onto him...but he is so cool! I'll let the tankers know if I start selling my SS stuff. Last edited by hahoo3; 01-16-2014 at 12:45 PM.. |

The Hot Toys figures do look great, but I'm just not in to the new figures. I love the Real American Hero figures, so Sideshow it is. I've been looking at them for years, but hesitant to take the dive due to the cost. But, that new Cobra Commander figure has me rethinking that decision as he will be my first purchase for sure. Damn you Sideshow!!!!!!

Hi everyone! I'm new to this thread. First post in this forum actually. Well, I've decideded to start collecting Sideshow's GI Joe figures because Hasbro hasn't come out with anything I've been interested in for a while now. My questions to my fellow Hisstank members are:
1. What are some of the best Cobra figures? 2. Have you tried Sideshow's payment plans, and how did that plan go. 3. Does anyone have a Cobra Viper, and or Cobra Trooper for sale? 4. What is a fair price for a Storm Shadow, and do you think Sideshow will do another Storm Shadow in his first costume again? 2. I used the FlexPay for the newest Snake-Eyes - no complaints. 3. Not at this time. 4. I don't know what a fair price is, but good luck. I've been collecting since the beginning, and have at least one of every figure released so far (2 Cobra troopers being my only double purchase - tempted to get another Crimson Guard one day). From the early review, both the new CC and Baroness are incredible. Hoping to pick mine up from the post office tomorrow.
