Looks like Hasbro is farming out 12'' figures to someplace that actually WILL be able to make something that'll sell!

[ARROW]

Boing!!!

Now you have my attention!

[NightCreeper]

I quit collecting 3 3/4 inch gi joes a couple years back to collect Sideshow products. So this is good news for me!!!!

[Darren]

Hasbro gave up on their 12'' Star Wars figures and I believe sub-contracted the 12'' figures to Sideshow...that relationship has been VERY successful as virtually almost every SW figure Sideshow makes sells out.

 

I've been in the 12'' collecting realm for a while now (since Hot Toys' AVP Predators first were shown...that sparked my interest) and I still collect the GI Joe 25th stuff...but this is definitely EXCELLENT news as it combines my old (yet still much loved) collectibles with my new ones.

 

Woohoo! 12'' Joes perhaps? Premium format Cobra Commander...oh man the list goes on!!!

[GGPiKE]

WOW 12" Joes by sideshow AND Nightcreeper appears. Amazing. I'm pretty psyched about this. Thanks to Brent I have a nice Medicom Star Wars collection and a Hot Toys Aliens collection. I'm not a big fan of Sideshow, but if they pull this off right, I'll be behind them 100%. Need to go change my pants now.

[DOCHOLIDAY56]

OMG---

 

AH MY WALLET JUST RAN OUT THE DOOR JUMPED IN THE CAR AND DROVE TO CANADA

 

I CAN SEE MY SELF BUYING EVERY ONE OF THE JOES SHOWN!!!

 

 

KIDS COLLEGE FUND CAN WAIT!!!!

LMAO

Haha, no problem man

Maybe sideshow will be at con and we can see these up close and personal.

[T-Rat]

best news ever! Freak'n Sweet!

[Pit Viper]

Wow. These should be cool . . . and expensive.

[GGPiKE]

Wow. These should be cool . . . and expensive.

 

They'll be around $55. Not bad considering the really good 1/6 (Hot Toys and Medicom) go for about $150-$200. I'd much rather Hot Toys get the license though . . . more expensive, but I'd rather get Joes from a company that produces this:

I would think so. It is a pretty cool teaser, Toyfair cannot come soon enough.

Yeah, that price is doable. When I first saw the commercial I thought these were the $200 figures - forget that! $55, I can probably do, within reason (ie: don't release too many too soon, please!).

[Leroy]

WOOHOO this for me is the most exciting news ive heard in regards to an action figure line in the last 2 years. I cant wait

[Devilbat]

What a weird, unexpected, surreal, and formerly impossible Joe fan's dream. I would never have guessed in a million years Hasbro would allow a high-end company like Sideshow produce 12-inch Joes and Cobras. Incredible. And exciting!! (lol) Unbelieveable...

[Big_Iron]

IF we are going to get 12inch figs from someone other than Hasbro, I would have preferred Dragon to Sideshow.

 

The over painting and Mardi Gras sized heads on Sideshow figures has always been a turn off for me. Their uniforms are adequate, but the head sculpts and hands are almost always a MISS instead of a hit.

 

And according to reports, Sideshow is not going to be in attendance in person at Toy Fair, they are going to be doing Web updates the week of Toy Fair instead.

 

EDIT: Full Toy Fair Coverage from Hasbro to Sideshow will be available on TNI starting on Feb 16, just like every year.

[harkiri]

Cant wait to see these. if it is the $50 dollar rane statues I will be happy, if it is the $100+ range.....well I will never see them in my house, my wallet cant handle that.

[Mullog21]

I would think Storm Shadow and Snake eyes would be the first releases.

[Darren]

Considered I shell out $100-$150 for Hot Toys' AMAZING Movie Masterpiece (Superman, POTC,etc.), Alien, and Predator figures...$55-$70 for Sideshow's GI Joe figures will be a breeze!

[NightCreeper]

Don't forget if sideshow does Premium Formats, dioramas and busts it will be about $200+

 

Eventually you warm up to it and you learn to manage your toy spending money better! #US1#
