I was playing around with the 12" figures, I picked up so far, and decided to show 'em off. I added little critiques as well.
Dusty: Great design and accessories. Along with Beachhead and Duke, Dusty is a must have for me. Snake Eyes: This is one I was so pumped to get when the line was first announced. Unfortunately I don't think the figure stood the test of time. The accessories rock, but the base body is undersized- he looks more like a teen than an adult.

Flint: The head sculpt doesn't do much for me and I would have liked to have seen slightly darker colors used for the straps and gear. Though the accessories rock- like the removable wrist watch.

Duke: Love this figure. Other than the body being loose I've got nothing bad to say about it. The attention to details is just fantastic- the dog tags are actually marked with name, rank, etc.

Beachhead: Again, a must have figure. Love the head sculpt. I've got a cloth Balaclava on the way so I don't have to swap out heads for the masked version. The one down side to these figures in general is that the accessories rarely tend to stay in place when "playing" with them. In this case Beachhead comes with several arrows that fit into a holder, but fall out if he's moved around too long. He also suffers from loose body syndrome. I couldn't get his arms to hold a pose with the gun without having them slowly fall. (same with several others.) Also Sideshow forgot to add the two little hoops to his belt so his backpack could be held in place- yes it can be fixed, but for over $100 I'd like it to be right when shipped.

Cobra Commander: I'm glad I own him, the design is flawless. And, I do really like the painted eyes- creepy real.
Firefly: Tons of gear, and fun figure. My only critique is I would have liked to have seen a sling on his weapon. Could have really used that.

Cobra Trooper/ Cobra Officer: These two I dig, and would like to pick up a second Trooper some day (I keep checking eBay for a deal). They come with loads of ammo clips (two per pouch), which I thought amusing seeing how much ammo they spend hitting nothing most of the time. :-D

Storm Shadow: Got a white Balaclava on order for him. Again with the accessories- the arrows don't want to stay in the pack. Luckily I haven't lost any. And I wish there was a place for his throwing stars.
Finally- what fun would it be without the undead showing up?? As the prices of these continue to climb I do hope Sideshow adds articulated fingers and stops with the multi hands. Overall I'm pleased with the line and hope to see it continue for a few more years at least. Thanks for looking.

I can see them all, great job mate. I've been thinking about getting a sideshow figure just as a once off type of thing. If I do I think I will get Stalker as he is one of my all time favorite Joes.
