Official Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Is that gun a Vector? Hmm, too hard to give an opinion just yet. No digging the plastic uniform. And M-16 with bayonet shouldn't be too hard to come up with. Those gloves are throwing me off.

Whats all the hate for the leather uniform? It doesn't seem an unreasonable material for what are basically Cobra's Royal Guards. Top dogs get nice clothes

Hmmmmm.......not bad. The shiny leather loks a bit off, but it reminds me of the awesome guards in Equilibrium so I'm sold!

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

It is kind of funny to picture these guys crunch, crunch, crunching around in their crinkly uniforms but other than the gun and the gloves he seems to match pretty well to me. I have a feeling the vintage rifle with bayonet will be included and then he just needs an extra pair of CC hands to complete the look.

About freaking time.


Dont care for the re-used Joe gloves though.

Don't really understand the complaints about the gloves. Doesn't each and every one of us have like 20 black gloved Cobra Trooper hands sitting in a box? They came with so many extras its ridiculous. Even though the gloves are rehashed, I appreciate the effort to do something painted at least.

hope that red jacket holds up better than the red Buffy coat. mine is cracking anyplace where it forms a crease from posing.

As you can tell, Nam's not a fan of the weapon.

We'll ignore that it couldn't be further removed from the original rifle the CeeGees came with. I don't mind the KRISS. It's the perfect fully-automatic .45cal. However, given Cobra's a terrorist organization, supplied by a Scottish arms dealer, I think it's weird that the Crimson Guard, the Cobra Elite, would have a weapon funded by and developed for the United States.

This figure looks pretty cool so far, the gloves definitely don't go well with the uniform though.

Yeah, but shiny plastic? Cloth would have been tons better.

This is my all time favorite Joe costume. Too bad the helmet looks like a$$.

Avoid bright lights near the throne. It makes no sense why Sideshow is using the plastic uniform when they've proven they can make a perfectly good crimson one already.

I can see this figure single handedly driving up the secondary market price on that SDCC abomination with people getting that outfit to swap out for the Betty Page uniform here.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Hmmmm, dont usually say this, but not a fan, the helmet and shiny uniform. Ill wait till full reveal to judge further, but glad we got nother joe fig

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

YES!

He's armed with the KRISS!

Definitely ordering two (one regular/one exclusive).

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

The uniform may not be that shiny. Sideshow uses bad lighting in their previews. Flints head looked fugly, but in person looks just like Flint. I'll probably just order a couple and find out.
