Okay, I made a mistake years ago when Sigma 6 was new and I dimissed the line. Now I'm paying for that, since I've discovered just how cool these are and have started collecting them.
So far I've got three reviews (with pics!) on my site: Zartan - Review – G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 Zartan Inferno - Review – G.I. Joe Inferno (8-inch) Toxic Zartan - Review – G.I. Joe Toxic Zartan (8-inch) I'm sure everyone here has seen these figures many times before, but since I passed on the line when it was in stores this is all new to me. More to come! I'm really enjoying this line (and kicking myself for not recognizing how neat the toys are when they were in stores). |

Cool reviews, and it's great to see another Joe fan converted into SigmaSixism!
I've always thought that Sigma 6 is simply way too much ahead of its time, which is why a lot of collectors didn't like it - they're not ready for it and can't grasp the fun awesomeness of the toyline, especially one that's different from their own childhood toys.

I didn't get into Sigma 6 'til recently either. You've got to hold one in your hands and play with it I reckon, in order to appreciate it fully. They're such chunky, solid figures, they feel like 'real toys'.

Yeah, I think holding and playing with one of the figures helps a lot. I need to just apologizing to Hasbro for not making a big deal about these when they were in stores. Impressive figures.

Excellent reviews! Zartan is my favourite G.I.Joe character, and the Sigma Zartan is in my top 3 Zartans of all time! This line has some of the best action figures I've ever bought, even the repeated Dukes are great figures in their own rights. I'd give up my 25th/poc/30th figures before these guys. I highly reccommend the three Adventure Team figures (with articulated animals!) and the Dark Ninja Master! I LOVE THAT GUY!

Love the Battlegrip site... I've been a regular visitor for almost two years now, but always wondered about the paucity of GI Joe reviews. Still, better late than never. And your reviews of the figures have made me appreciate the Sigma 6 property in a new and different light.

Sigma 6, though, has really grabbed me. |

And thank you. I'm trying to get good pics and trying to write my excitement for the line in a way that it's clear just how much I'm enjoying the series. |
