I still think, to this day, the 8" Joe line has been one of THE best conceived and designed toyline to see retail shelves in the past decade, easy.
Yes, I love my retro product, but Sigma Six felt FRESH. There were WONDERFULLY designed toys. They had a suberb presentation which made each figure (especially the early Commando class) fell special, the accessories were detailed AND fun, not mention so many you could have a TON of scenarios with just one figure. They were stylized enough that the conservative parent people would have hard time arguing the "violent propaganda" and the toys were TOUGH. Unlike today where we see broken figures with just a little movement, Sigma Six were built to play and play rough. And by being a new incarnation, the design team had leadway to make some truly impressive product. Flint may not have been very retro, but he was well designed and fun. 25th, RoC, Star wars and such are nice little collector lines. But Sigma Six was a REAL TOY LINE. Sadly, I think what made it so special probably would have doomed it anyway given the price increases we've seen across the industry in the past several years. Even by the end of the line, you could see the Commando class start to suffer from price cuts. |

Sigma 6 would be even more worthles to me than RoC. Atleast I can use RoC parts as custom fodder.

I have 268 sigma figures boxed carded and custom not counting my fodder trunk, i'd welcom anything that would expand myy options or horizons of this line. If it got me a Baroness, Scarlett or Jinx I'd pay sdcc/mastercollector premium. I also have 3 non bike vehicles for them as well, Firebat, Moccasin and Sharc

I liked the Sigma 6 figures but I wouldn't want to see them come back. What I would like to see is a very limited line of very well sculpted super articulated six inch Joe figures, like the Masters of the universe classics line for around $10 to $15 per figure.

Anything more than 4 inches is wasted.
