I've been reading all the posts here and on Sideshowcollectors.com regarding the controversial release of SSC's Crimson Guard. I don't think I've read collectors so divided on a 1/6th figure since Firefly (which I think they hit out of the park). Leather jacket, red tinged gloves, octagonal helmet, coloring of the mask, and him not coming with a revolver or sawed-off shotgun as a sidearm have been a few of the complaints.
He just went up for pre-order, Exclusive "Seigie" or "Fred" swap out portrait and regular helmeted versions. I ordered my exclusive version. Just wondering how many ordered him.

I pre-ordered 1, but I was REALLY tempted to get 2 so I could have one on each side of Crimson Cobra Commander and his throne... but then i decided I would like to stay married and I just ordered one.

I ordered 1 exclusive. It will be a year before we see this, so who knows what little changes they may make. I dig him as is.

I ordered one. But it's so far away it's got me wanting to purchase something Sideshow. I just can't decide if I want a GI Joe, or Clone.

I got me 2 of those crimson bad boys. I agree with the desert eagle as opposed to the revolver I think it was a great move.
But to be fair the revolver should've added as an exclusive and the switch out portrait should just have been standard for both. |

I can't see getting this figure without his Fred-head.

I ordered 1 exclusive as well. Sideshow always seems to hit the mark...

I am going to skip the CG. Never cared for MJ or his attire and that flaming jacket really doesn't do anything positive for the figure. I'll get a couple of Vipers instead.
