Desert Cobra Sniper!!

[thenammagazine]

Damn, I need the link.

Wait for it to pop up on that little announcement rotating banner on the top left. Whoever's designing Sideshow's website needs a class in advertising. It went from shopper-friendly "simplistic" to "WE'RE DESPERATE TO SELL ALL THIS 'IN STOCK' CRAP" cluster____ed. I understand their need to push the In Stock stuff, but to throw up hurdles for people who already own it and/or are trying to find other stuff... very unwise. Especially with the holiday season approaching.

It doesn't make sense....why not just give him an RPG and call him a desert support trooper or something.

This really is the height of laziness.... Making figures to sell a dio is fair enough but at least try to make them look like new figures.

This is the first joe figure I am officially on the fence on (unless there's an exclusive obviously)

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Oh snap! RPG! That's a good idea, I was going to go with a desert intervention but I also haw a SAW that's all desert camo too. I want to make this guy cool. Pretty sure I am going to give the officer a SCAR.

"Ebenezer" has already been TM'd by Prog.

If the sculpt stays the same i'm not gonna sweat it really but I do really want to see the the area over the mouth go from black to tan. As a sniper you're going to want to blend in and I dont think black would do that.

Already submitted this concern to Ask Sideshow and posted it in the comments sections on both the sneak peek and the gallery but the comments got denied (despite being nice ).

I posted it on the sneak peek as well. But as far as I know, it was not denied. But it is "awaiting moderation".

One of the things I like a lot about the multiple troops is getting the different head sculpts to use to add to the troop-building. I don't mind have 10 portraits on my regular blue troopers, then the same ten on each of my black and desert troopers. But I want Sideshow to release unique sculpts for each figure so that I can add to the numbers of each set.

Both of your comments made it.

Please tell me these guys are gonna have original headsculpts and not reused ones.

OK, Sideshow. I am loving the Desert Ops Sniper. I can not tell from these pictures but I am desparately hoping he has a new portrait. Please...PLEASE make sure he has a new portrait."

Hopefully, between preorder and production, Sideshow will change the headsculpt.

Brand new comment. I took out "honoring this new figure with the new headsculpt he deserves" and just posted that.

I'd love to see a new headsculpt on these guys as well... Surprised we haven't seen a "Scar" headsculpt yet... might make a nice exclusive.

That's McDuck and his number one dime. Also don't think I didn't notice the Jr. Woodchuck comment. Also wtf, why didn't you answer my PM cupcake?

Did you PM me buttercheeks? Must've gotten lost in my Spook purge. Please resend.

I would have been cool had SS combo'd these two troops together at a slightly reduced price and toss in some new guns. Why are these obvious suggestions so lost on them?

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Since the last comment got the ax let's see if this one sticks...

"Come on guys, the LEAST you could do is provide a new head sculpt. I mean I don’t mind a double dip but we deserve a new head sculpt. You guys are better than this."

Yeah, I'm betting that's a no as well.

I took out the reference to tits. I've seen worse comments posted on there. Maybe I should say my name is "Teh Josh" aka Dusty Rudat (or Tadur) aka Rusty the brown ringed donut King!

forgot about this guy til now. also forgot the newsletter comes out early.

i really want a new sculpt on this figure. i don't like complete repaints. wonder if the desert officer will be a repaint as well.


they should sell them in a discounted two-pack if they are just gonna be repaints.

 

[Deak Starkiller]

Man posts are dropping left and right. Khev you serve swift justice.

 

[The Craw]

where'd my post about my romantic feelings for Deak go?

 

[karamazov80]

No interest. To me, this is no better than Crimson CC or regular Cobra Sniper. Looks kind of cool, but it ain't got nothing to do with the GI Joe I know. Surely they have to do a Stinger Driver with all these minor trooper variations. . .now that's a figure I would like to own.
