palisades gi joe mini bust

i got all the gi joe mini bust when they came out. i thought they were great and then i guess palisades lost the license, but i never got rid of them and when i joined the army they got packed up and i honestly forgot all about them. so it was a surprise when i found them in storage.just wondering if anyone else collected these and if someone knew the story with what happened.

I bought a few and got rid of most of them. I think Palisades went out of business ending the line. It was good while it lasted. It even had a few sculpted by Andy B.

Unfortunately, Palisades went under. Great mini busts, thought. I alsohave the Snake Eyes Silent Interlude wall statue.

I've got Flint, Cobra Commander, and Roadblock. I would like to get Firefly and Snake Eyes at some point, but those tend to be more expensive than I am willing to pay. The ones I have are great. Palisades did amazingly well with these and the Muppets (and the Palz ain't too bad, either).

Yeah...these are cool...

I bought Firefly bust, Python & Crimson guards statue when they first came out, but I didnt collect them because I didnt like the arms look. I didnt buy early SW busts for the same reason...However, I did manage to get in November Storm Shadows bust on EBAY for $20...I would love to get Zartan Statue, Cobra Commander, Destro & Snake Eyes busts as well.

didnt want to start a new thread so i dug this one up as i was wondering if these Palisades busts were 1/6 scale? thinking of getting the helmeted CC bust and casting the head to make a CC figure with it. just wasnt sure if these busts are in scale or not. thanks for any help!

Aren't the busts more 1:7th/1:8th scale?

I've got a Destro and Storm Shadow bust if anyone is interested.

So rather than add to the thread and respond to the question, which being an owner of TWO you should know, you just spammed it.

I bought these awhile back when I was going to get into the Sideshow Joe line, but never did anything with them.

So can you answer the question instead of spamming?

For you, anything!

Sadly, I don't have any 1/6 scale stuff to compare them to, but they might be more 1/7 or 1/8 like Nam suggested. They're up in my closet, so it's been awhile since I looked at them.

Yea they are nice looking busts. But they are just that, busts. Unless we are taking about the bust on a woman, they are borrrrrring.

They were also a great way for Andy B to cut his teeth.

Darn. Thanks Nam. I thought I was onto something here. Would have been an easy way to make a helmeted Cobra Commander. Thanks again guys!

Well, before Sideshow, they were the best there was out there for high-end Joe.

Paint jobs are superior to Sideshow's figures, if that counts for anything. And they are smaller than 1/6 scale. If they were full figures, they would probably be 9-10 inches tall.
