Hi all! Just wondering if these Sigma Six figures are really as good as most of you say. I have had my eye on duke (i like relatively normal guns for my joes) for awhile, so any pics of him would be helpful, one pictue I would like in particular is him without his little vest on. Well thats bout it for me, thanks in advance people! ;D

I like these toys a lot. They are very modern design with great poseability. It's sort of like the sophisticated version of Action Man. That said, the cartoon is sort of written for today's cartoon watcher kid, very anime, very ZOIDS, Transformers Energon... and those things aren't good things about the show. I just saw a sumo tournament here in New York, and it was cool, but American shows adding anime elements to their shows is just bad judgement on the producers part: Teen Titans/Sigma6. However I do like the character redesigns for the Joes, the toys look better than the anime. I wish they would make a scarlet and baroness SIgma6, if only to kill barbie in her sleep and make for hilarious ToyFare comics.
If you can't find them for cheaper that 15$ they may go down in price later. But the stuff is quality, and it may be gone and then its $$$ on ebay. So you have to ask yourself, are they great toys that you want? Will you feel really bummed if you can't get them anymore? I live by the motto: Buy it now No regrets. Cuz if you wait on it or decide to come back later, it most likely will be gone or you'll never get a chance to go back. Now you maybe saying you can't afford it, but once you skip a few meals that week, double pack that laundry load, not supersize, not see that movie, not buy crappy toys, etc... you'll realize you have enough cash for it. I recommend Heavy Duty and Duke, very solid. Spirit is cool, but Heavy Duty looks badass. I love my snake-eyes a lot, but you might wait for series 2, I mean some people don't like Snakeeyes super thin legs. These toys have all the signature sculpting coolness of Xevoz! I'm sure if I had another Snakeeyes I could make him into an awesome firefly.

I'm not dissapointed with any of the figures. They are all extremely good quality. The higher price point is well worth it to me. I'll try and take some detailed pics of Duke for ya tonight, without the vest. He's actually one of my favorites. And honestly he was probably the least interesting looking one to me, but once I got him my opinion changed. I doubt you'd be dissapointed.

I'm going to be honest and offer the advice that you use only the utmost caution when considering purchasing the Sigma 6 figures. Buy them ONLY if you like a good amount of articulation, cool accessories, and great sculpts. If you do buy and don't like, don't say that The Bee didn't warn ya!

I will say that they are a bit expensive for a "blind buy", so if cost is going to be a factor, wait a bit for them to show up on sale. There was already one sale for $12-13 some place, so with the holidays coming it shouldn't be too long before you see another.
Duke in particular is a nice fig, and hands down has the most versatile accessories.

Hope it goes well. Let us know what you think.
(BTW - coming to a S6 forum and asking if you should buy is a bit like going to the DNC website and asking who to vote for)

Heh yes I suppose it is Misterd...So anyway I ended not being able to decide and bot the lot...Yea I am not very good at decison making...Needless to say I liked them all, spirit is probably the weakest figure in my opinion. I like duke just because I think he is the most miliaristic of the bunch and I like my joes more militaristic than super hero esque...(on a sidenote I totally cleared out my Ocean state job lot of xevoz...at 2 bux a pop how could i resist...)
