I'd love to see a torpedo or ripcord. I realize ripcord might be a long shot, because of the whole roc/marlin way and thing, but it would be a cool figure. A wetsuit in seal bdu's and also with scuba gear would be awesome.

Sideshow's SDCC offerings have usually been recolored variants of past figures or (in the case of 2012's Falcon) made using mostly reused parts.
They could have easily done: 1. An O13 Greenshirt like Grunt or Zap. 2. A Cobra Blueshirt Trooper variant like Scarface, a Bazooka/RPG Trooper, or Flint in Disguise (which some would have bought just a better Flint portrait and flocked Beret). 3. Black and Silver CC (I wouldn't have bought it, but some like that look). 4. Either a Crimson Baroness or a blue uniformed one. Maybe on a slightly shorter body, tinted glasses (black or green), and with her ARAH assault rifle. 5. A Black and White "Ninja Force" version of the latest Storm Shadow or an all White one sporting Cobra emblems (Resolute/Renegades inspired). 6. A PDD or IG version of Destro. The fact that they weren't even tempted to try to cash in on any of the above shows how low a priority this line was for them. It could be the only reason Destro was released was that he was in development so long that SSC felt they had to release something (I remember them posting ages ago that he was a "definite" for 2012 release). The hold up was supposedly a new large body that could be used with Roadblock and Gung Ho...the one they used simply has leg extensions. |

Yup...but I think we were all in denial. I don't blame them, sales have been lukewarm (several figures are still listed, including EX versions) and some of the 12" community did not respond well to the more recent releases (Destro mainly).
I'd be for a more limited run like the old days of like 500 or less, but not at a higher cost. I don't know why they call it a "hiatus"...I think SSC G.I. Joe ARAH is dead and we will only have the Hot Toys Joe 3 movie figures to look forward to.
