Wow. Not just kids collecting S6. I really can't stand that line. There too pricey, awkward, animey(real word), and crappy. Sorry collectors, I don't mean to sh!!t on Sigma 6. Really, to each is own, and whatever puts a smile on your face while purchasing, opening, or just having it is a good thing.
The sigma 6 line still has the most badass version of an IG ever. |

I just picked up the last few at my TRU recently. I passed on some 2 1/2" at a local junk store late last year, that I now regret. I'll start getting them in a few months on eBay. (Once I pay off my credit card!)

I love them, they are my favourite Joe line. I am slowly killing off my 3.75 collection in favour of these |

In terms of still collecting... once you get started, it's tough to stop searching until you have every one... then there's troop building (IG's, CobraFly's, BATs/Sky BATs, etc.). And then you research the unreleased ones like Zanzibar...
Toy News International - Daily Action Figures Toy News, Reviews and Discussions In retrospect, the line ended in perfect fashion. You know how some lines get old (25th is really 26th). Well this capsule of a line is perfect in terms of a collection. I feel the same way about Transformers Classics (Universe will never be Classics). To own this line is to appreciate and admire our modern day sculptors and box art specialists. I've gone on these rants before, and I've spoken to toy makers... In terms of sculpting, playability, paint applications, articulation, and production value... this line is a marvel. Oh, by the way... there are plenty of variants... feel free to ask anyone, but keep an eye out for an all black weapons Storm Shadow V1, Green Snake Spirit V2, Skull Key Long Range V1, and Pale Skin Duke V1. For a complete list of Sigma 6 variants... just a Google search away. The best way to start a sigma collection is to vulture pick from forums like this in bulk or contacting eBay auctioneers before an auction gets a bid... haggle, use the "geek needs your help" line alot, and always say "you wouldn't have to pay eBay a percentage of your profit." And knowing is half the battle! |

I would love to have some of those un-released figs. Scarlett is at the top of the list for the female body,that opens up a whole new world of customs.

Any time I'm out searching for 25th anniv. or transformer figures I keeps a look out for S6 figures. I have a complete set of figures outside of the red ninja from the convention.
Which figures are you looking for Destro?Outside of the very rare figures like shock blast heavy duty maybe some of us can help. I got into the S6 line very late really during the early part of the 25th anniversary line and I had a lot of fun finding figures when I couldn't find 25th anniversary figures. And I slowly pieced together a complete collection of 8inch figures and a good portion of the 2.5 inch vehicles. |
