@@DestroIsMySpiritAnimal My favorite Sigmas are from 2007, when they were moving away from that black "Sigma suit" design and getting a bit more ARAH in spirit. Maybe if they had started with that in 2005, and made them 6" rather than 8", it would have faired better.
@shovelchop81bikeralex526 ай бұрын
I love Sigma 6! They got me back into collecting GI JOE (as a kid I grew up with the 'O'-ring figures and vehicles plus the 12" 1/6 scale ones before that) as smaller figures since my main thing has been collecting and building custom 1/6 in my 'kidult' life (motorcycles and guns in my adult life lol). I think the product designer in me just loves the innovations of the accessories and the geometric aesthetic of that series. Since very recently starting to collect the Classified line (run out of room and money for 1/6) I've dug out my Sigma 6 collection (I think I have 95% of the figures released with some duplicates) and thanks to the 'Wayback Machine' have found the old Sigma 6 Central site as matching the accessories to the correct figures is quite a challenge! LOL.
@michaeljfoley12 ай бұрын
I had heard so much maligning of Sigma 6, that I finally decided to see what the stink was about, and got my first Sigmas in 2015. I thought they were really cool and unique, and I built a collection of my favorites (especially the later figures). Maybe if they were 6" rather than 8" they would have been more successful, not sure. But I love them, for what they are.

Bro I think I'm from a separate mandela-effect universe. I'm trying to figure out which version of G.I. Joe I grew up playing with... They were all 12" figures and featured mostly themes from World War 2 and Vietnam but I also had a 12" Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow. There was literally nothing else available in stores in my hometown in Idaho between 2000-2004ish other than 12" figures. I was honestly blown away when I discovered (through Transformers then Classified Series) that the majority of G.I. Joe history were smaller figures with defined characters. G.I. Joe Classified is what I always dreamed of as a kid.

I am going to disagree the only reason why the line failed was they went to a different scale and they also went away from the military line. Plus those figures they made that you could not fix because they had no screw in the back also made many of us stop buying GIJoes as well as we all became teens. So if they would have still made the right mix of military and sci-fi then the line would have kept on going. But since all the cheap Gimmicks and moving away from military as well as not giving what fans wanted and that is more realistic military toys then it would have been epic.

Ahh, dopamine hit! Need to pull away. Another great video and full of Joe toys I had no clue about. I just want to say that as a kid, I pulled coins from under the couch and between the front car seats to buy GI Joe Real American Hero figures at our local True Value Hardware. I lived four hours from the nearest big stores that sold gobs of G.I. Joe toys, but even in a small, isolated town Joes were easy for literally any kid to buy and have fun with. The articulation and detail were not the same level as GI Joe Classified, but it was still amazing. Kids have far more imagination so we didn't need that anyhow. That the articulation and detail was there, plus the lore (comics, cartoon, movie, file cards and even package art) kept the line going and outpaced many other cool toys of the 1980s. My twin brother and I had every figure and vehicle from 1983 to 1986, most from 1982, 1987, and 1988. I don't recall how we convinced our parents to buy the USS Flag,, but I remember the day it arrived, 3-4 months after we ordered it. The delivery truck was as old beater Chevy from 1970s with wood rails around the truck bed, and the box was unbelievably huge. We could not convince our parents to get the Defiant space shuttle. Smart move on their part. I think the line started its decline in 1986 when Sci-Fi replaced Flash as the laser rifle trooper. It's not that Flash was replaced. It's that Sci-Fi was an awful neon green. There were still great figures to come, like Ambush and Big Ben in 1990, but 1986 was a turning point. I'm one of the few who didn't like the 1986 Cobra Vipers with their boring silver face shields and bright red arm guards. Snow Vipers from the year before - amazing! How were they followed up with these guys?

I did jump on a couple of the actual Classified Retro figures like Scarlet and Duke. I have fallen in with the Ultimates line though. I find them to be quite fun, and can keep up with the release schedule of those a lot better. They also represent what I liked about the look of the originals better. Snow Job was definitely my favorite figure of all time though. I tracked down a mint version of his original o-ring figure, as well as his snowmobile. Of course I got the Classified version as well.

GI vs Cobra, Valor vs Venom, Spy Troops 4. 12 Inch 1970’s 5. Hall of Fame - just needed more of these Reaction could have been great if they’d have executed it differently. Lower prices, more Joe characters (instead of Joe troops and stupid variants like CC, Destro, Baroness in disguise). I just can’t get into the 6 inch Classified. They feel cheap to me and the scale brings back neither the nostalgia of the 70’s 12 inch or the 80’s 3.75 inch.

Pretty good list. Xtreme looked like the guy from Kenner who did the first reboot of Star Wars and they were all muscly. The concept wasn’t that bad in theory aiming for really young kids. My kids liked them at the time. I really enjoyed Hall of Fame, it was great to see them in the original 12” format, but the body buck did suck and very barbi. If they used the version that came out a few years later that were more generic or Adventure Team inspired, it would have been tops, especially with all the extra packs you could get. Holds a special place to me for reasons. Sgt Salvage would have been a really cool line if they kept it to the ARAH size. But still enjoyed it. Sigma 6 I feel like is underrated. They were really odd, but the 2” inch figs were actually super cool and the vehicles are awesome, and work well with lots of options. The big figures are cool too, but yeah a little odd lol. 3: the original 60s Joes, besides what ever hand shape they have 😂 they were amazing. 2: 70s Adventure Team. Being born in 72 it was hitting me with my older bros joes handed down. And we had a farm to play with them and the crazy big vehicles! So perfect. 1: yeah I was 10, so ARAH was amazing and all of the vehicles etc. So much playability. Clutch is my fav because of the OG joes having that black beard too, so I was instantly in. You forgot Super Joe 😜 but I don’t blame you, be right there with Xtreme lol. Good stuff. Cheers

Pursuit of Cobra was a really good line with some great figures. I think the PoC Snow Job is still my favorite version of that character and hopefully we'll see a Classified figure with that outfit and gear load-out at some point. I definitely remember the horror that was GI Joe Extreme. However, even Star Wars figures were hitting the steroids in the mid-1990s, so it was just a weird time in general for action figures. In order to be successful, in my opinion, GI Joe needs to strike that perfect balance of about 70-80% realistic, modern-military gear and 20-30% science fiction. If the sci-fi element takes over too much, then it just kills the appeal of the franchise. This is why I think those early Classified waves really missed the mark so badly; but now that Hasbro is actually listening to the fans again, I think Classified has become one of the best toy lines being produced right now.

My first ever GI JOE was a GI Joe VS. Cobra, and it was so ugly and cheap that it ruined the toy line for me for nearly the rest of my life. I threw mine into the trashcan after playing with it once. 24 years later, I saw the Classifieds in the store a few times and didn't pay them any mind, "oh its that ugly thing from when I was a kid" and moved on. I see the light now. As of last month, I have now collected almost every single Classified and it's the consistently highest quality figures I've ever seen. I hope Classifieds are selling well and they keep making them. I'll keep buying them!

Classified Too High. Renegades too low. I'd probably go 1 RAH 2 PoC 3 Renegades 4 RoC 5 Classified 6 Super7 Ultimates. I've also enjoyed some of the figures coming in the ReAction line, even if that style figure isn't my favorite.

The DTC had the best version of copperhead. The DTC Python patrol black red and gray version is cool. I like the original Python patrol copperhead.

I know there are people that liked Wanted, but read the comic. The movie was a slap in the face.

I own the entire series of GI Joe Renegades. It was okay but certainly not a tribute to the original animated series.
