25th Anniversary Joes versus Sigma Six

[Zaku]

I am no fan of sigma six. One guy has cloth pants and no shirt, another has a shirt but no pants. No vehicles worth while for the 8" ones and unimpressive sculpts.........................Then Hasbro Brings on the 25th Anniversary figures. They have wasted our time with inferior sigma six and proven to me that they do have skills and brains still. Now i am viciously pro o-ring, but in this case i do not care. They have finally made a non o-ring body i like. They are like Gi Joe marvel legends. When i had heard that the 25th figures were not old molds i was scared. But now i am way more impressed then i ever would have been with reissues.

 

 

Way to go hasbro!

These are amazing! #US1# @firedevil@ @firedevil@

I think its presumptuous to assume that Hasbro was ever on the wrong track to begin with.

Sigma Six is very popular still.

These new sculpts are simply addressing a void that needed to be filled--namely more-articulated 3 3/4" military-style figures.

Remember, Hasbro said that the 3 3/4" and 12" scales were on HIATUS, not cancelled. Fans didn't want to take them at their word, as fans all too often are wont to do.

 

I think its nice that so many people are responding so positively to this new product, because it can only fuel more product like it. I think that people just have to have a little more faith..........but, ahem, that's an on-going topic in another thread. LOL.

I stil like the 8" Sigma 6 figures and plan to collect both.

[Zaku]

These are soo much cooler!

The 8" sigmas seem a waste. For something so large they could use better detail.

Most of they're efforts don't DE-rail overnight, seeing how even Sgt. Savage had an equal run at it, if you're just going by TIME. I certainly don't think Sigma Six has sold any better than or over and above the efforts that brought us Spy Troops and JvC. Those releases were hard to find on the pegs most times, as ANY, yet they undoubtedly SUCKED, because they soon scraped'em.

 

Judging by the empty pegs and shelves during those lines, one would have THOUGHT they were "very popular" as well.

Me too. I just got wave one (2007) today. Snake-eye and Stormy have the awesome new Triple hinge knee and elbow joint, Duke has a new head, and Gram slam is as big as HD. They rock!

 

Edit: The folks at Sigma Central are finding the Shipwreck wave now!

[MaxPower]

Yeah, SIGMA SIX SUCKXssss...

 

I can't believe I wasted my time and money on it. Dang!!!

 

What a waste of plastic and space!

 

I should have just waited and saved my money for the 25th anniversary sets.

 

Wait, I have a better idea now.

Screw the 25th anniversary Joes.

Im going to save my money for the 50th Anniversary JOES,

if the 25th are this good the 50th will only be 25 times better.

 

YEAH!!!!

I think most of us hated sigma 6 because they were getting all the attention. Since these new 3 3/4 figs are out I am willing to accept the sigma 6 for what they are and appreciate the fact that hasbro is looking after the new generation of kids.We finally got what we wanted so we can shut up and enjoy.I mean we're getting 25 new figs in one hit.How many sigma 6 figs are there since they were released?

I'd still like a Sigma Six Zartan - I'll get the ones I like (which seem to be few and far between).

 

But as for preference? No contest... I'll likely get the entire 25th Anniversary line.

[Zaku]

I will break down and get zartan as my only sigma six. But that is the oney exception, until a scarlett or baroness.

 

To me the anniversary stuff looks better in quality.

[Rama Sha]

I gave S6 a chance. Bought the entire first wave in fact. But in the end it didn't do it for me. The 25th already has me more exicted then S6 ever did.

I LIKE SIGMA SIX---------BUT

 

 

I LOVE ME SOME 3 3/4 JOES!!!!

 

I HAVE ALOT OF THE SIGMA SIX 8 INCH AND BUNCH OF 2.5 STUFF---JUST FOR THE VEHICLES MAINLY----

 

I CUSTOMIZED SOME 8 INCH STUFF-----BUT I THINK IT WAS JUST A "FILLER" FOR ME FROM A TOY STAND POINT----JOE IS ALL I TRUELY COLLECT---AND THE SIGMA STUFF HAS EVEN TAKEN A BACK BURNER FOR ME RECENTLY BECAUSE OF MY 5 YEAR OLD SONS INTREST IN STAR WARS------

 

I "WAS" A CLONE ARMY BUILDING FOOL-----------BECAUSE HE WANTS TO BE THE JEDI AND MY NATURAL ADDICTION FOR ARMIES----I CHOSE THE CLONE/STORMTROOPERS.

 

BUT NOW THAT THE 25TH IS HERE------SORRY SIGMA SIX AND STAR WARS-------MY JOES COMES FIRST!!!!!

 

ILL STILL GET SIGMA SIX STUFF I LIKE THOUGH!---AND THERES A FEW CUSTOMS I NEED TO FINISH YET

STAR WARS IS ON MY SON --------HE HAS ABOUT 50 CLONES, 10 SHIPS/VEHICLES, AND ABOUT 50 OTHER CHARATERS---IN ABOUT THE PAST 2 MONTHS-----SO HE HAS A GOOD START.

my son loves the old cartoon and thinks the new one(sigma 6)bites.imho i am very happy that they are bringing back my era of joes in a new form,but still sticking to the true original concept.

Sigma Six has always been tempting to collect, especially when you can convert some vehicles to fit 3/4" sclae stuff, but I never really got into it. The only time I have picked up Sigma Six stuff was for "Toys for Tots."
