Cool 8" scale Joes. Oh, guess not.

[destro]

bbts is selling them for $14.99, but the reason i am writing this post is because they give a description at bbts. the caption says give a squeeze of their legs to see their slashing action.

that is just like the starwars force battlers. i know justin u said they were 5in, but i still want to see them them up close, which i didnt see yesterday @ tru.

[destro]

i finally saw them for the great price of $10 @ tru....the figures aren't so bad, i guess it depends on what u plan on doing with them.....the hands are big like the force battlers, but not as big...the cobra trooper looks good.

the weapons look like poop, but that is about it, imho....

hey justin, how many different sets are they coming out with or how many figures are planned?????

[destro]

ok ok ok...i caved and i bought duke and cobra viper....

while there is hardly no articulation and weapons/accessories suck, these arent 2 bad...they are the offshoot of hasbro's starwars revenge of the sith force battlers and i like them so far.

will wait on se and ss....however combat battler rip cord looks like a smaller version of ss duke....will play it by ear on which future figures i will go with, just like i did with force battlers.

I have Storm shadow and the Neo viper. Want to pick up SE just to have both ninjas.

They don't have good articulation. You're looking at shoulder, fore-arm and wrist, Head. That's it. and yeah when you squeese their legs. the arms move.

That being said. They're sculpts are nice and reminiscent of S6. Not exact, but that blocky cut look is there.

As for size. Mine are standing beside my Recondo, the viper comes up to his shoulder, the Stormy a bit below.

They're nice. If you can get um at $10. They're good to grab. I paid $13 for both of mine..... a bit steep to be honest but I like the style. Just wish they had more articulation.

Holy crap - you're back! Welcome back dude, where ya been?

Seconded.

[PepsiJedi]

Well you didn't think the movie looks like sigma 6 just out of LUCK did ya?! I've been busy!


lol

Yeah I'm back. Good to know I was missed guys.

[destro]

good to see u back pj.....did u bring the funny and pretty mrs pj along with u as well????

also glad to see somebody of some noterity around here finally siding with me.....these combat battlers, while not S6, arent all that bad either.....

so lets see here(this is not going to be a "h" critism fest). hasbro makes starwars figures, starwars force battlers, and those 2in scale starwars heros....like wise now with joes.....whats next transformers, indiana jones, and marvel????? that would be cool, expensive but cool. also as far as transformers go, it would be hard with very little to none articulation for that type of line...but indy and marvel would rock....

[destro]

well i am wrong again and i can admit it


well anyway, i saw them today @ target.....the transformers battlers and yes they do transform....

Threadomancy, but I just have to weigh in on these things having seen them at TRU a couple weeks ago. They're pretty awful. Like they should have been over with the baby toys...

I picked up a lot of Sigma 6 figures lately and it's really kind of a slap in the face that they canned the Sigma line and then launch junk like this. I could understand they cut back on the articulation and accessories and made them a lot cheaper...but they AREN'T a lot cheaper. For what you get, these Action BADdlers are not worth it at all.

I sure hope Hasbro relaunches a proper Sigma style figure again. After getting into the line late, I found it to be possibly the best thing Hasbro had done since I discovered the RAH's in '82...

Here's to hoping I can still pick up some S6 at decent prices now and again on the aftermarket.

[destro]

the line must have been cancelled already. i have checked walmart, target, and tru for wave 2(rip cord base model, cc, rip cord in accelator suit, and duke accelator suit) and have yet to see them.

then, however, i see them in a kmart, on new years day, and not at kmarts usually inflated price, but $8 and 20% off of that....i bought the cc, if i had the extra cash, would have bought r/c in a/s

[destro]

well i did it...i picked up acelator suit r/c...it was a very hard decision because regular r/c looked good too.

G.I. Joe rise of cobra combat battlers - we hardly knew you.....

Those guys look okay but H should flush those and the 12" line to focus on the 3 3/4 line.

[KINGOFNOD5]

does anyone know if the weapons work with S6 they look like the right size but I'm not sure
