Wow, so many haters in this thread.
First off, any of you Sideshow haters must not have seen these in person, because they are amazing. And no way would or should these be $20. The quality is outstanding, and besides, everything's getting more expensive. Deal with it. Secondly, this is a SDCC exclusive - which means it's basically an "extra". Little to no extra tooling/tailoring required. We shouldn't expect to see someone like Zartan or whatever here - that's for the general market. More people will obviously want that, so it will be more readily available. Personally, I love that they went with a classic figure, and toned down the green significantly. All teal would look ridiculous. Let's be honest, it DOES look ridiculous on the original figure, but it gets a pass because it's RAH and rare. Sideshow's been doing things a bit more realistically, while still remaining true to its RAH roots - more true than Hasbro usually is, that's for sure. Probably the closest they've ever come to getting the RAH/modern realism balance right was Resolute, but that didn't last long, did it? Sideshow's been consistently hitting it out of the park. I for one will be pre-ordering this, no doubt about it. He'll look great along with my Red Ninja exclusive. . Have they actually posted the price or are they assuming it will be $130 |

These GI Joe figures Sideshow are selling are part of their "house brand" line, they aren't made by Hot Toys (I haven't looked too closely but the base body Sideshow used for their first GI Joe figures might have been based on an early generation Medicom "buck" body, as it's somewhat undersized like the early Medicom figures were). |

I'm not going to the con, nor am I into ninjas. It looks quality, but I like the look of the Red Ninja better. Compared to a figure like Crimson CC, this is an easy pass. Not their best work, but a solid addition to the line, and I'm glad that the con exclusive is something I have no interest in. To anyone who gets it...as always... POST PICS!!! lol

No price has been posted yet, and probably will not be until around 5/17. $130 is probably about right, though. I wonder if it'll include an accessory that the Red Ninja did not?

For all we know, it COULD be less than $130. It really depends on the amount of accessories. Extra headsculpts drive up the price, too.

Remember, it was the original 12" GI Joes that coined the term action figure, not 3 3/4"!
So yes, this IS an action figure - not a doll! Dolls are for girls. (But technically, an action figure is a doll for boys (or, er, men), when you get right down to it.)
