Cobra Commander!!!!!

[Amanaman]

I'm out, too. Joe isn't my main thing, and I sense no urgency in acquiring them all right now.

Seems to be quite a few people bailing on this line already, here is where SS f*&ked up, they shouldhave announced the line and shipped the first figure in 6 months latest of the announcement

Even if I had Snake Eyes and CC in hand already, I'd still be selling them. So it isn't that for me. I think the majority of people are just refocusing.

 

[My Lord]

Well, this is Sideshow Freaks board, not the asian ebay retailers freaks board. I figured he was talking about SSC shipping them.

Snake Eyes hasn't shipped and it was announced before CC. So if Snake Eyes isn't shipping, from either Asia or SSC, why would CC be shipping?? Gotta ask yourself the simple questions in life........

And really, how hard is it to read and see if anyone has gotten them yet. I'm sure if the e-tailers were shipping, the board would be crying 20+ years worth of tears that they finally had a crappy Snake Eyes or CC in their hands!!

Cause you know it's gonna happen when the first SSC EX Snake Eyes or EX CC makes it's way into our hands!! Tears, tears of horror and raped childhood glee!!

Sorry, couldn't resist editing your post to what will more than likely happen if you follow the Snake Eyes thread.

Snake Eyes hasn't shipped yet, what makes you think CC is shipping??!!

Captain Antilles was announced AFTER Darth Vader and the Stormtroopers, yet he is shipped and the Stormtroopers and Darth Vader haven't. Strange things can happen to shipping order.

But I Snake Eyes will clearly ship before Cobra Commander, I just wanted to give you a valid example of how CC shipping first wouldn't be unheard of.

Yeah, what he said.
Thanks for the back up

Now where have I heard this before? Hmmm....

And FYI, Captain Antilles was announced long after Vader and the Troopers, yet he's already processing. So that doesn't mean anything.

...ah, that's right, two pages ago!

Teaches me for not reading every post here

I'm sure there are more examples though. How about the Dead Harbinger being announced on Black Friday and shipping in the next 2 weeks? Way after Cobra Commander, and WAY before him

No need to fix the issue with the Pro for the Harbinger. That notorious "drunken nod" of the Pro is right at home on a zombie.

But there was no need to put a zombie on the Pro in the first place. The Buck is just fine, especially if it keeps the prices lower.

And now we have $70 zombies.

If Lando ends up on this thing, I'm going on a Buck-hater hunt. Heads on pikes.

Your hunt is mis-directed. You should go after Sideshow for replacing the worst 1:6 body on the "high-end" market (the Buck) with one that has its own new set of annoying issues.

 

[devilof76]

I suppose. But for my purposes, the Buck was never that much of an issue.

Yup. That decision was a stumper unless they had too many flawed Indy Pros and needed to find a figure to put on them. And if that's the case, I won't be too thrilled.

With Piett on the Pro, you can bet that ol' Lando will be too. Let's just hope that with each release some of the more serious issues are resolved.

Like a sculpted neck and non-Medicom proportions.

You want fries with that?! It kinda shocked me that AOTC Obi was on the Buck. But as others have speculated, I'm also thinking he might've been done before the armored Obi and they just reused the headsculpt to make a noteworthy and unique debut for the new body while pushing Ep. II Obi back. I really hope they seriously address all the concerns and not just a smidgen at a time. We'll just have to wait and see. What's the next body due to arrive on the Pro, the Harbinger? Or Belloq?

 

[devilof76]

Damn right. I didn't even know we could get fries too.

I think Belloq's notice showed on the 20th. Harbinger came the 21st. The priest definitely has a generic neck. That's lame, but the collar covers most of it. Lando has an open collar, so that will be even more lame. Atleast he'll have a cape to somewhat hide his non-existent shoulders (a problem that could be solved by buying a black Buck, if he had a damned neck).

Billy Dee William, and most SW characters for that matter, aren't hulking body builders with broad shoulders.

But they don't have effeminate shoulders, wide hips with no ass either. A Billy Dee Williams with no ass is like Star Wars without the Jedi. I'm all for supporting Sideshow, but I eventually caved and put my Indy on a TT. I'd rather have shoulders that are too wide than so narrow that the figure looks like a bobblehead.

All I care is that he's in proportion to the Han and Luke figures I already have. I wouldn't put a Medicom figure with Sideshow figures. I won't put Prometheus figures with Bucks. I stood Indy next to Doc Holliday and the disparity was ridiculous.

From what they've said, the Pro can be converted to a taller or smaller figure.
