Hey guys, I've been running around like crazy trying to find some of these figures. So I thought I'd ask you guys if they are even worth it? Specifically looking for both Heavy Duty figs, Destro, and Cobra Commander.
looking for posability and playability

the sigma six figs are most definately worth it. i have bought them all except para trooper duke and duke with the atv. this is one of the lines that i buy and immediately open to mess with the accessories and put on display. sometime i wish they were a little more poseable though.

So I thought I'd ask you guys if they are even worth it? Specifically looking for both Heavy Duty figs, Destro, and Cobra Commander Seeing how I just gave in & finally got Duke, Firefly & Destro, I have to say YES. Great posability, working sheath/ holsters & weapon systems that combine/ interchangable. Sadly, between 2 TRU's, 2 Targets & a Wal-Mart, all I'm finding is both Heavy Dutys, Spirit, Jet wing/ Artic/ Regular Dukes & the $10 Fireflys, Spirits, Kamakuras & Snake Eyes. I'm looking for Long Range, Cobra Commander, Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Lt. Stone & Zartan myself. |

I bought some of the cobra figures (cobra commander, B.A.T., and Storm Shadow) and I'd have to disagree. They were too stiff and not very posable from my point of view. I wasn't crazy about the scale nor the price. I'd rather been a little smaller for what you get. I ended up giving them to my five year old. I thought I might still be interested in Destro since he was a fave as a kid but them they ruined him with a bunch of cheap looking soft goods and a big square bucket head. If Zartan is that bad, I'll pass on him too.

The guy at con said that Tunel rat was the peg warmer, and that Kamakura was the best seller. I had no idea Kamakura was that popular.

I avoided this line at first, only buying Snake-Eyes and Storm Shadow. Then the bug hit me and I picked up a few more. Now I have almost the whole line (or at least the whole line minus variants and the same character with new outfits, etc). I agree with Squishee that they are a bit pricey, and the articulation is limited if you compare it to Xevoz (but then again, what isn't). Still, I definately recommend this line!
Some standouts for me personally:
Zartan (probably my favorite in the line)
Cobra Commander (I have both versions, blue and the new black one, both are great)
Destro
Storm Shadow
Snake-Eyes
Spirit
Lt. Stone
Firefly (although the new Cobra version looks cooler)
The others I have as well are great too (Sky Bat, Ninja Bat, Tunnel Rat, Kamurkura, Duke, Heavy Duty, etc.) are all great as well, the list above just are my personal picks and must haves.
Honestly, the only one I have been dissapointed with was Long Range. Other than him, I've really liked them all!

I found the heavy duty w/ flamethrower, I love it! The only downside is all the paint came off the handle when I tried to put his hand on it

Heavy Duty is cool because he's so big and solid. A very cool figure.

After having a few days to mess around with Lt.Stone and Zartan, I have to say they are the best ones to date. Zartan is cool not only because it is a great sculpt, but also because it's F'ing Zartan. Stone has the best accessories yet( 3 pistols! take that Duke) I like how this line doesn't seem to be losing steam, and I hope the future ones(Shipwreck and Cobra Firefly especialy) are as great as these are.
