Would'a had no complaints if they'd done a black version instead.
It's misunderstood. As a figure, he's awesome. As Cobra Commander, he blows donkeys.

Wow DC. You remind me of Ayn Rand. She refused to be associated with Mensa, even though she probably had the highest IQ of the century.

Translation - no one stepped up to buy him
I would have had no problem with CCC had he had been the 20th figure released in the line

I think I saw her in a photo with a cigarette. Based on that, she could not have had the highest IQ of the century, because common sense would tell you that human beings need to breathe in order to obtain oxygen, and smoke is made up of small particles which would coat the lungs when breathed in, which would block the absorption of oxygen. Smoking is suffocating oneself at the very least, even without the later findings put forth by the Surgeon General in the early 1960's that smoking causes cancer. Smoking is far too stupid a thing to do for someone who is actually intelligent.

You act like he took a slot in the line up. He didn't. He was a SDCC exclusive. Those are bonuses to the line up. You guys complained about him so much that this year we didn't get a Joe figure at SDCC. It could have been anything from a trooper variant to a Duke variant or even Storm Shadow. But we got nothing now. Thanks guys.
Again, its the fans fault right? Gimme a break
We got nothing this year cuz SS couldnt plan there way out of a wet paper bag and spend resources on ____ that THEY think is cool, and collectors dont buy, IE PF Paratrooper, EX still for sale and Recon at waypoint only 750 pieces and still available.
No, I really think it was the fans fault on this one. If we aren't going to buy a 'lame variant' for a con exclusive, it won't sell, and Sideshow loses money on the trip (the exclusives help pay for attending comic con). So they did focus their energy on other items that would sell. Star Wars and Marvel have been cash cows for them and they both got an exclusive. The turtles have been doing well so they got one. And Sideshow just has to keep the Dead line alive, so it got one.
But CCC did sell out....so whats the excuse, we bashed it and they didtn want to release another one and get there feelings hurt? Also dont see why it has to be a variant, SW EX are not variants aside from this year so why does the Joes have to be??
yeah, that pretty much was what was available at the SDCC showing(mostly junk)...there is no way PF'S/Dio's sell better than 1/6 scale,but Sideslow still believes or wants to believe they d
nce Joe and Starwars is over,I see Sideshow done making 12" figures and they will be eventually done as a company as a whole..

Maybe for the action figure clan but there's a lot of statues collectors and that brings in 3X the amount any of us spend on each figure.

Look who bought a pair of Sideshow Underoos!
This is my main gripe about Sideshow. Let's forget the fact that he's remained sold out because they took the regular Commander off the table until he did so. But Sideshow makes a lame choice and rather than cop to the fact that they used poor judgment, they're likely sitting on Olympus blaming us for not accepting the figure unconditionally. Which is bull____.
I dunno. That's A-typical Sideshow brainwashing right there. A sensible Con Ex (Slaughter anyone?) would've sold like gang busters. Even as simple as changing CC's color to black. Instead they focused their energy on lame choices or polystone crap that isn't really selling. The Ex SE dio's back up on order. The throne is rotting on the GC list, as has the Waypoint environment for quite some time. Everybody and their grandmother canceled the Undying Carcass PF. That's gonna sting even more because SSC got a little greedy with the ES on that one. Surprisingly, it seems the same with the Wolverine PF, Wolverine of all characters. He should be a flipper's delight but the Ex can be had at retail. Gambit's following the same tune and expected to slip below retail. Hey, how 'bout them Ninja Turtles? It went from Ex Don fetching like $600 to Freaks not even able to pawn them off at MSRP. I won't get into the Prince of Persia PF that's bound for bellyflop greatness. Or the 1:6 mine cart environment for Indy though they've yet to even show prototype TOD figures. It amounts to a lot, A LOT of poor judgment on Sideshow's behalf. It's not collectors' faults. It's Sideshow's.

I agree with a lot of this statement, the polystone has not been great choices or limited enough for certain pieces.
