Who Next?

[Quiller-Bee]

Now that we've seen how cool this line actually is, which Joe characters would you most like to see receive the Sigma Six treatment?

Since there are so many characters in the G.I. Joe universe, I'm certain that I've made a few omissions. Some of the characters I've listed we're sure to see at some point, while others . . . most likely not. Anyway, here's my "wish list": (The characters I'd like to see most are listed in bold.)

Joes:
Beach Head
Budo
Flint
The Fridge (Just kidding!)
General Hawk
Gung-Ho
Jinx
Lady Jaye
Low-Light
Scarlett
Shipwreck
Shockwave
Stalker

Cobra:
Baroness
Crimson Guard (Wonder if we'll see any human Cobra toops?)
Destro
Dreadnoks
Dr. Mindbender
Firefly
Major Bludd
Raptor
Serpentor
Tomax & Xamot
Zarana
Zartan

Flint. I always liked him compared to Duke. And Firefly and Beachhead would be pretty kickass. Would it be too much of a strech to want Nemesis Enforcer?

[Jagermaster]

in addition to most of the ones you named, i wouldn't mind seeing:
bazooka
quick kick
mutt w/ hound
sgt. slaughter
cobra la (just kidding!)
cobra commander in battle helmet
classic style b.a.t
tele viper
and i'm sure there's a few others i can't think of off the top of my head

[fatshadowmaster]

I gotta give it up to most of those Cobra charcters. I'd like to see some Vipers. An Alley Viper in the orange paint scheme or a Saw Viper with the gun too big for him to handle. It would be interesting to see Nemesis Enforcer and Golobulus. But the Dreadnoks the most, and a Dreadnoks cycle.

I'd really be interested in getting some female characters, like Baroness. I'm very curious to how female designs will turn out in the sigma 6 style.

[misterd]

I'll stopped collecting around 1987, so I'm not as familiar with later characters. I'll try to limit my pics to 6:

1) Hawk. The original leader of the Joe team always was cooler than Duke.
2) Firefly. Need more villains, and a demotions expert could come with tons of explosive accessories.
3) Blowtorch. Flamethrowers are cool.
4) Mindbender, done better. If there is any character who can only be improved by reinterpretation, he's it.
5) Stalker, because he was one of the coolest of the original lineup.
6) Rock and Roll. Give him the dual chain guns in his later release, and update his original bike with the gattling cannon sidecar.

[fatshadowmaster]

Rock and Roll is a good one. I mostly like Cobra charaters, but I forgot about him. Females are always good too.

I agree. Even though I liked Duke well enough, I always liked Hawk more. Truth be told, I always resented Duke a bit for taking the spotlight from Hawk.

Good choice, as the S6 style would work great for a character like him.

No joke. I like the character well enough, but he's always been given weak costumes. I personally chose him more for his potential than his past incarnations. With the right design and sculpt, he could be a great figure.

Man, I forgot all about R&R. Give him the dual chain guns from his 2nd version, but work his trademark bandoliers into his design as well.

[Grayfox]

Good choices guys. I'll add the following:

Wild Weasel
Copper Head
Barbecue

You'll have to forgive me here, because i don't remember most of the Joe team names. I always collected the Vipers as a kid. Prolly only had 6-8 good guys, the rest being bad.

I'd like to see some of my old figures get re-vamped into this line.
#1 Ally Viper. However, I liked the Yellow/Black version they did. He had a nice shield, and uzi if i recall right. and the helmet that flipped up and down looking like a snake skull, etc.

#2 Dial Tone. I remember a version of him in blue, with yellow weapons. prolly early 90s. He rocked.

#3 The medic guy... don't remember his name, but i don't think he ever carried a gun. Just swung down from helicopters to pick up the wounded. (lifeline maybe...)

#4 Bear with me here, there was a Purple Viper who looked like he was in a toxic suit. He had a helmet that you could take off, and his face was covered in techy stuff. He would be cool. I don't remember if he was in the Toxic line, or the space line... because now that i think about it, he could have been in space...

#5 Nightcreepers. Weren't these the ninja like Vipers? some of them would be pretty neat.

#6 I recall a samurai Joe who had the head gear and some swords... he's a bit of a strech because i don't remember him really well

Of course these are along with most of the ones ya'll have listed. I think they have sketches out of the female figures, so we know we'll have some, just not sure which one will be first out yet.

-- If knowing was half the battle, I think I lost this round.

[misterd]

I'm guessing the medic was Lifeline, with an outside shot at Doc. I think the samurai might have been Budo.

[Quiller-Bee]

You're right, misterd. The samurai was indeed Budo. I doubt that he'll even be considered for S6, but I think he'd make for a very cool looking figure nonetheless.

[spongyblue]

We need the ladies. Seriously. The Baroness was the only cartoon chick I concidered hot. If they make her she had to come with removable glasses, just because it would be cool, no other reason. Pistols, maybe a small carbine and knife for weapons.

Lady Jay. I always thought she was cool, and even as a kid I never had the "oh she's a girl, she can't do that" thing with her as I did with some of the other female characters. She just always held her own. She could come with a variety of javelins similar to Iron-Knife's arrows. Maybe throwing knives or something to give her a little something extra.

Zartanna. Zartans punk-rock, swamp-trash little sister. I would love to see a redesign of her. A little less mohawk. I don't know what would be cool gear for her. Maybe some disguises, don't know about the weapons.

Scarlett. If i'm not mistaken their making her fig arent they? I thought I caught a glimps of her prototype along with Cobro Commander and that sniper dude. Crossbow and long hair. I think thats all you really need with Scarlett.

Here's all the pics I've found so far if nobodies seen them.

[misterd]

I've only seen one ep of the cartoon, but I am under the impression that the characters who are in it (like Scarlett, Baroness, Zartan, the Dreadnoks, Jinx, etc) are there for a reason (ie toys), so I figured I'd focus on characters we (or I) haven't seen yet.

I'd love me some lady toys, but since half the Joe gals already seem to be in the show, I figure we got 'em coming anyway.

As for Budo, he was one of the last Joe toys I bought, and I remember him fondly. Doesn't quite fit with what I've seen of the series so far, but if he popped in later on down the road as a guest (contact in Japan for example), he could definately be turned into a cool toy.

[JeremyMarcGirard]

I always liked Cobra better than the Joes, so my 'wish-list' is all bad guys!

1. Firefly
2. Zartan
3. Destro
4. pretty much any Cobra-esque soldier (Snow Serpent, Crimson Guard, etc.)
