I have seen some posts on here with tankers talking about being really excited to find a Lt. Stone or their desire to find one. I have a few Sigma 6 figures from the first few releases (namely Duke, Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes) and thought they were really great figures. That said, what is the big deal about Lt. Stone? I can’t remember if I’ve seen him on shelves or not but I stopped really looking at the Sigma line a while ago after being disappointed that they didn’t make Scarlett. Is he really rare or something or a recall?
Let me know why people seem to like/want this guy so much. Thanks

1. He has an eyepatch. Losing an eye and coming back for more shows that you're badass. When the various Arab nations united against Israel, they should have taken one loom that their general and known they'd made a mistake. That dude looked like he could eat ground glass, and the eyepatch helped.
2. He has a bionic arm. Losign an eye is bad enough, but losing a whole friggin' limb and coming back for more is a whole other ball game! Basically, it increases his badass quotient another 110%. 3. He has a Zartan mask. DO you have any idea of what kind of balls it must take to disguise yourself as the greatest master of disguise in a whole universe of masters of disguise? So yeah, all in all Stone is one bad mutha just on looks alone, very nearly in Snake-Eyes league. He's 200lbs of badass in a 190lbs frame. If he's even half as tough on the show as he looks, then it's no wonder they had to make Cobra Commander a serious badass just to have a prayer against him. |

A friend of mine got one the other day.Him and me both hated Stone,but loved the trooper.It took us about 5 min. and he was in parts.I took the head for a Bludd custom.The Zartan head looked dumb as hell.The only saving grace i seen for him was his head(Just cuz it looks like bludd) and his gear.Other than that,i didn't see what all the hype about him was.

Range of motion is great, and the accessories are excellent. You can turn him into a Cobra trooper in disguise. Even then, his accessories aside the trooper accessories are great. His pistol sans silencer can fit into his net gun. He has 2 silenced pistols and hip holsters for both. One of his arms is clear green.
His accessories are awesome and the figure as a whole has a lot of play value. |
