SDCC Cobra Commander?

[King Darkness]

Yes it will get worse, because people seem to think that every figure released has to appeal to them and them alone. Just don't buy it people! It really is that simple.

It is clear to me the G I Joe section is the new Star Wars section

Ugh......

Backlash with be vicous if it is something really really cool.

 

[MANDO]

Doesn't the head of the Ku Klux Klan wear a red hood? Oh, dear...

I'm not!

(Unless the bonus thing is a throne, then I'll get it but part-out the silly figure)

 

[EVILFACE]

I'm obviously not a huge JOE fan, so I have no idea how just *how* cool it will be to everyone - but it definitely made me want it...

Knowing Sideshow, it's prolly some snake knife or joystick

 

[The Josh]

Silly. An accessory, no matter how cool, won't change the fact that the figure itself is lame.

Silly? Lame. Says you. Just another two cents on the board Carl. Doesn't make it fact.

 

[lcummins]

Because they don't get this whole thing, period. That's why.

Just because they released this variant doesn't mean you won't get the variant you want... just have some patience. And before you say the line will die before it happens and if they had only released it when they had the chance... I will say that if people didn't get so upset and quit the line, etc. then the line might just continue and people might get the figures they were interested in.

 

[MANDO]

Somebody buy Dusty off so we can find out what this extra is!!!!

Only one person has "quit the line" lets not jump the gun. Like many others I'm still in it for the long or short haul which ever we get.

My opinion is actually 7 cents worth. So it is 3 1/2 times more important than everyones.

ON EDIT: And I had really no idea what I was getting into by coming in here... just pretend I'm not here - I like it and that's good enough for me

Now you gotta tell us what it is!

WHOA. So it's the collectors' fault when a company makes bad decisions and people stop buying and the line suffers? I must say, Lonnie... that's a new one.

Why? I thought the extra didn't matter...

 

[MANDO]

Why? I thought the extra didn't matter...

Don't worry the concept of this guy still sucks, but I still wanna know what the extra is.

 

[karamazov80]

Maybe alternate humanoid snake head from GI Joe: the Movie following exposure to spores.

Wasssss once, a maaaaannnnnnnn. . .

 

[IrishJedi]

Why? I thought the extra didn't matter...

The extra doesn't change the fact that most JOE collectors here think that the figure sucks. It's the FIGURE that doesn't matter at this point.

It starts with one...

WHOA. So it's the collectors' fault when a company makes bad decisions and people stop buying and the line suffers? I must say, Lonnie... that's a new one.

I never said it was the collector's fault. This is only one figure so far, if Sideshow continues to make figure choices that the majority don't like, then yes, the line will die and it will be on Sideshow, but I bet this figure still sells out...

 

[MANDO]

Ditto.

 

[Silent December]

wow, this turned into a slippery slope fast.

 

[Dusty]

Somebody buy Dusty off so we can find out what this extra is!!!!

I don't come cheap you know

All I can really say is that it's more than just a simple repaint... believe me, you'll find out soon enough - I think there will be more Con exclusive info released on Tuesday, May 5th in the Sideshow podcast/tv episode.

 

[The Mike]

Broaden your minds folks, if Dusty admits that she isn't a huge JOE fan but the "extra" was enough to lock her purchase then what would appeal to a non-fan?
