Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

I'll reserve judgment til I see the full reveal. Not thrilled with some of the elements but happy to see the CG are on the way.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Like others have mentioned, don't care for the pleather look of the uniform and the gloves. The CG's are partly ceremonial troops and should look like they're in dress uniforms. But the big one is the helmet. It's not a very good translation of the design. I think the rear needs to come down more, it sits too high in my opinion. The front of the face mask also needs some adjustments, like a slightly wider visor slit.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Don't like the modern gun but the rest of the figure looks great!

I'm sure it will come with some kind of classic gun like the rest of them.

Don't really like the red leather-like appearance of the uni, and don't like helmet sculpt.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Got excited at the title and then went limp.

That helmet looks wierd.

Strange painted Joe gloves??

And what is with the slick shiney gimp material?

I'll have to see more pics, but right now it's WTF SS?

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

This is the Cobra trooper that was mentioned in the General Joes/Sideshow interview and Sideshow was really excited about this

I think it looks good! Now bring on the Crimson Twins (after Snowjob though)

Awesome Awesome Awesome.

I'm luckily all set for these guys. Throne should be had regardless, and now my CCC wont look outta place on my shelf.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

so far i think this guy sucks. i hope they make some major changes before he is pushed back until 2015. sideshow says they read these forums i hope they are reading this one. this guy looks like a red baboon ass so far i hope the full reveal looks a lot better.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Helmet looks like it should go down farther in the back and curve toward the mask. Not bad though.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

The helmet and glove have got to go. The uni doesn't look bad, but it's on the shiny side (which makes it look more like ZC Girl clothing).

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Is that a reuse of the Dusty gun?

 

[DinoDB1975]

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Nope. Entirely new gun. KRISS Vector submachine gun.

 

[thenammagazine]

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Nope. Entirely new gun. U.S. manufactured KRISS Vector submachine gun.

Fixed and

As you can tell, Nam's not a fan of the weapon.

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

ehh. the CG is at the top of my cobra want list but i'm kind of underwhelmed atm. helmet looks a little small? and, yeah, cloth uniform please.

 

[firefly2121]

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Very cool figure...my only gripe is the shiny fabric, I would prefer the good ol' cloth look...

Re: Offical Sideshow Crimson Guards!

Once again, Sideshow takes my favorite childhood property and manages to not make any money from me.

THIS LOOKS HORRIBLE. Wow. Job terribly done. Way to ignore all source material and make something dreadful.

Yah... make fun of me for overreacting. I'll accept your scorn.


but seriously... Sideshow... ugh.
