SSC Firefly

Re: Firefly?

Got mine thanks to a fellow boardie, (thanks again Kuzeh!) wow sold out in 7 minutes huh? pretty good for a figure with so many complaints. COBRA!!

Goes to show that people will buy anything that is either a) an exclusive or b) has GI Joe on the box. . .I'm included in that group.

Also glad we finally got a Cobra figure to go against our horde of Joes.

Re: Firefly?

I don't like rubber bodies but I'll stick with a fairly unposeable rubber body that looks look (say on Hellboy) but with any of the bodies SSC has ever used keeping the SSC body is just not an option for me personally. The wrongness of the anatomy and the hang of the body drives me nuts. I also like to use 1/6 bodies as pose reference when drawing and any of the SSC bodies are useless for that.

I was pretty stoked when I heard they where developing a new body but was very disappointed with the final result. No better than the Buck, just has a different set of issues.

Don't cash your chips in just yet, they're putting out newer versions of the body. Just about every company who goes through this, experiences issues such as this. At least there's been improvement with the Pro.

I've found myself starting to eyeball my 25th Anny 12" Joes to see if there's even a remotely minute bit of potential to turn them into a better looking piece (like the ROC Destro).

I have Flint and that's it for 12"

Re: Firefly?

Were there any pics of the machine gun with the stock extended? Just noticed it had one.

Re: Firefly?

The Flint's plastic beret is great, in my opinion. Works much better than most of the cloth ones I've tried out when trying to kit-bash.

Me too. Nam hooked me up. I can't thank him enough.

Re: Firefly?

I read that at work as well and was quite surprised

I believe he sculpted Duke's head. Correct?

Out of curiosity, why did some of you have problems pre-ordering yourself?

Flint's sculpt was too.... cartoony. Duke's sculpt wasn't half bad, neither was Grunt's, Rock'n'Roll's or Bazooka's. I just need to dig them out and see if the heads are big enough to fit with Sideshow's 1:6. I was in KD's thread today looking at his Joes and it's pathetic. The Cobra shelf is full, and the Joe one is just Snake Eyes. I have them all on one shelf, but now it's bugging me that the line is so lopsided ATM.

Heads might be too big.

I just stopped myself with Flint, I was super close to SE and SS... but something inside didn't feel like RAH at the time I was in Wal-Mart

I'm just talking about head sculpts. Unfortunately, Snake Eyes' head is far too small to carry over and match the Sideshow line. From what I remember of Storm Shadow, it was very similar to Sideshow's.

Kewl.

Yea, after the initial letdown, the look of the figure is starting to grow on me more. I'll still tweak him and maybe look for a jumpsuit to mod.

Yeah I think he'll look pretty cool with the others.

Trudat. Don't forget that Duke has new arms (or at least forearms...)

Looks like regular Prometheus forearms.

Man this line rocks my socks! This is so exciting!
