Major Bludd

Sideshow needs to stay away from lame environments then if its going to effect getting new figures

 

[Buttmunch]

They haven't all been lame. The Cobra throne is all sorts of awesome, and so is the Ninja Temple IMO (even though I haven't pulled the trigger on that one). I just don't think they were generic or specific enough. They tried to get that happy medium ground (ie they could be used for Joes and non-joe figures). I think they needed to commit one way or the other.

It will be interesting to see how they handle the DC Environments. They've already confirmed a Batcave in the works. I have a feeling, even if its an overpriced, generic piece, people will go nuts for it just because its labled the Batcave. DC fans are nuts

I feel bad for you collectors who haven't dipped into an environment. They make the display 10x better.

My problem with the environments is they're overpriced, but I've gotten many of them on sale.

I think people have a bad taste for some environments because they don't have nostalgia value or name recognition.

Also, as much as people get on me for being cheap I think people passing on environments is cheaping out. They don't want to justify making a $120 figure into a $300 purchase. I really do feel bad for people who own a Cobra Commander, Jabba or Emperor but cheaped out and passed on the thrones.

Don't know what they are missing.

I do think some environments are much better than others. For Joes the Desert Cache, Cobra Throne, and Ninja temple ARE MUST OWNS. The rest...not so much.

So amazingly, wickedly insane.

I feel really bad for you guys who think you have to buy an environment to make your figures look cool. Give them a chance on their own, they're pretty ****ing awesome.

 

[ProgMatinee]

I have 100s of figures. Obviously they don't have environments to accompany them all. I of course know how to enjoy figures with or without a display piece.

The relative few that do have them...like my Jabba throne display, makes EVERY figure related to that display look awesome...even Bib Fortuna.

Pfffft, then you dont know what you are missing.

Yeah, I feel sorry for Prog now, cause his hundreds of figures don't have environments to make them better. His collection must really suck now.

 

[teemu]

the environments would be fine if they made sense like the Cobra Throne

 

[ProgMatinee]

If you ask HT fanboys my collection sucks.

 

[the angry orc]

i haven't bought any of the environments yet. every time i went to go back and pick one up i ended up with another trooper or viper or siegie.

If you ask HT fanboys my collection sucks.

mine too probably but anybody who says several shelves full of sideshow gi joe figures sucks is

[teemu]

I can't wait for this to go up for pre-order!!!

[Adrosi]

Their FB basically said Oct 22

 

[snakeeyes171]

bludd for haloween yes!!!!!!!!!!

 

[onetruejoe]

that would be great..my cobra team sucks all i have is a Zartan and a CG..

 

[Buttmunch]

Guessing they are bumping Bludd up and Baroness back since she was originally going to be an Oct pre-order.

 

[sithjedi171]

Based on the Bludd we saw revealed, I gotta say he looks like he's gonna be my favorite figure in the entire line. Just incredible. From his head all the way to the missle gun. Home Run.

 

[Adrosi]

I still have my vintage Bludd. Hated him as a kid but nowaday everything about him is cool. Even broke down and bought a few 25ths just because of who he was.
