I just read that Hasbro is coming out with a new GI Joes series called GI Joe Sigma 6 that will have an animated series in the fall and 8" GI Joes! Included in the series will be Duke, Snake eyes, Heavy Duty, Spirit Iron-Knife and Storm Shadow. Check the pics: photos.figures.com/photo/1/showgallery.php?cat=2318I like the Storm Shadow. Snake Eyes looks a little weird. The bodies look almost like Stikfas or something. But I might just have to pick them up. A Marvel Legends size Snake Eyes? Carlito: That's Cool. |

Here is the article from Figures.com:
New 8" action figures and all-new animated series!
When Hasbro created the action figure category more than 40 years ago, it immediately ignited the imaginations of kids and forever changed the way boys play. Now, after 40 years, Hasbro’s GI JOE brand is reinventing the category it created with the introduction of GI JOE SIGMA SIX, a new line of action figures featuring an all-new 8-inch scale and weekly, animated series to debut this September.
The initial offering of action figures will include: Duke, Snake eyes, Heavy Duty, Spirit Iron-Knife and Storm Shadow. Each figure will be fully articulated and will come with their signature gear, as seen on the animated series. Approximate Retail Price of $14.99 and available this fall.
Additionally, the Sigma 6 line will feature the Ninja Lightening Cycle, a motorcycle that changes into a hovercraft. Approximate Retail Price: $14.99.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
$14.99? Yikes. I hope that price goes down. I might not get very many if they are that much.

And they're apparently suspending the 12" and 3.75" lines for a period to try to get people to buy these. Anyone want to take odds that these will barely outlast GI Joe Extreme?

8'' is too tall, they should've gone with 6'' so that they would be in scale with Marvel Legends and Street Fighter.
