And then really care if they ever do a Flint (who is 10x better then Duke anyday of the week).  KALASH69: Looks pretty cool, if he is done well and has a good amount of accessories he could be worth it, but looking back at the other figures in the line this one will be way over priced. Veedox: I second all that!

Is this about movie Duke being too young or something? I don't get it. Tazocin: Quote:

Unless you're referring to the fact that his trousers are "bloused"? QBERT: Must buy. I also can't wait for ZARTAN, FIREFLY, and BEACHHEAD spazzy: Been getting two so far, won't stop at this, can't wait!!
Wonder if it will go up tonight on the Newsletter or if we can't order until sdcc....three weeks is too long :( Jinx723: When the CENSORED are we going to see some female characters? I thought they would have atleast realize the mythos has some kick-ass females. Sideshow figures are going to be one big huge sausage-fest.
So far..
Snake-Eyes
Cobra Commander
Storm Shadow
Cobra Trooper
Duke
Cobra Officer
Scarlett ?
Baroness ?
or even Lady J ? nickvree: I kinda wish I had collected these from the beginning... cobralalalala!: I thought Sideshow was doing Zartan next, followed by Beachhead and Firefly? I Don't mind Duke as long he doesn't look like a grunt. cobralalalala!: Quote:

I agree though, I would buy a female character from sideshow, as long as it looked nothing like a barbie. DPrime: Quote:

They never look as good, although the 12" figures in general have been looking a lot better recently, especially with the Joe line. They're probably taking their time making sure they develop something worthwhile. Syn3sthesia: Quote:

I'd rather save my money and hopes till sideshow decides to do one. DaViper: I would get it but i can only stick to one line. Sideshow figures are to pricy for me. Blade: Quote:

I knwo this fro having owned several sideshow female figures.A company like Hot toys or ZC or even Triad should make the women of the joe verse...non movie version of course.

At least I know if the sixth scale Joe line goes under, I'll have my Duke. Good luck on the Flint and Beachhead... ;) Warrant Officer Flint: Quote:

I'm sticking my tongue out at you.. you.. you Flint hater  CrimsonGuard101: I bet this is going to be a strong echo off the Arnold "Dutch" Figure. He didn't have baggy pants and i can see Duke in him especailly the M16A2 with M203 greneade launcher riffle and other accessories...to easy of a reapint/kitbash LOL....
They could use Predator to make a Merc Wraith too haha.
I want Friefly, Cobra Blueshirt Officer+ 2 Cobra Infantry Blueshirts to go with my Crimson CC soon!
They also nee to do a Destro. Other than Snake Eyes the rest of the Joes will just look too plain to be in this Style of figs imop. TheGornIdentity: Quote:
