Let me know if you're keen on getting a Non-EX, MISB. I'm not sure how much shipping would be though, as I'm from the Philippines. I have a spare and I need the shelf space

Re: Sideshow Firefly question
These words are true.
Okay, granted they pulled the old switch-a-roo on us. But I gotta say that they came out with a very creative, and awesome design.
The one thing that I will never forgive Sideshow for is how they switched up old Snake Eyes (version 1). That had to be one of the worst I've seen. Awesome in the pics, with awesome clothing material and body. Then BAM, they screw us ROYALY.
These words are true.

Re: Firefly?
Except for the circa-1944 gaiters, I think I actually like the finished product better.

I take it you didn't play with ARAH in the 80's.

I've heard that before...
It's not a matter of nostalgia though. The original design for Firefly and what SSC eventually came up with are both cool in their own way (minus, again, those confounded gaiters), but the concept sketch seems to lie in an awkward middle-ground between the two.

Re: Firefly?
If everyone hates this one so much why is it so hard to find one on the secondary market?

Character hype will always dictate product demand. People went gaga over the JvC t-crotch Snakes and Storm 2-pack, and those figures sucked.
Truth is, Joe fans aren't too dissimilar fron SW nerds. Tell them something is rare and above all else they'll want it for the sake of having it.

I wouldn't rule out the possibility that most of the owners actually like the figure so readily.

I dislike it because of the inaccuracies towards the original 84 version but still love the character firefly enough that I hunted one down

There is nothing inaccurate about the figure since it is a whole new design.

True, for artic Firefly.

Re: Firefly?
because they only produced 2,000 pieces (1,500 reg/500 ex)
in the grand scheme of toys,that is very low production,especially for a popular cobra character

We're still holding out hope for another release in his classic version which IMHO is an absolute must.

Totally true just saying I would prefer the original look and not what were getting (even though most are awesome) but I guess beggars cant be choosers

Maybe for the first week or so...but after this long...I believe it is perfectly accurate to say that there are a small handful of GI Joe fans who simply want their Firefly to look like the old Hasbro 80's figure...but the huge majority find Sideshow's to be a badass interpretation.
