SSC Flint

[kl241]

Meh. He's wearing suspenders. If you want a backpack there's plenty out there.

Sideshow is really starting to nail this line...hope Destro is next

Ya, Id like to see Destro next also

 

[karamazov80]

Exclusive shotgun is essential.

 

[thenammagazine]

Looks like he's on the new Pro as well.

Also wondering if the Tigerstripe pants were a nod to the HoF figure.

Bah none of the SS Joes have been worth the money. If I think about it rationaly I shouldn't be spending anywhere near this kind of money on Joes. Doesn't change the fact that they are awesome and they make me smile every time I look at them. Actually smiles are kind of priceless as you get older. Maybe they are under priced?

pass at that price compared to the accessories with Duke and FF. Will wait for secondary market prices. Figure atleast $20 overpriced.

Are you guys serious? Aldo Raine went up tonight too and he is $160 and isn't nearly as loaded with stuff as Flint. Sure there is Pitt's likeness rights to deal with, but as a figure, he has less bang for your buck than any Joe figure.

 

[karamazov80]

Not trying to be disagreeable, but I think it's worth the extra cost just for the quality of the headsculpt you get with Hot Toys figures. Sideshow's are still way behind not only in sculpt, but in material and paint apps. Gives a more cartoony feel, which is fine for the Joes IMO, but they won't blow you away when you see them like a Hot Toys sculpt will.

 

[Buttmunch]

But $35 more ($40 non-exclusive) than Flint for less accessories, but a better headsculpt? I'm not too sure about that. Sure the HT heads look much more realistic and all, but I still think you get more bang for your buck with the Joes than any HT figure.

That didn't stop me from ordering Aldo though. I'm just saying we shouldn't be complaining about the price on these at all. $5 more for the shotgun, yeah, since exclusives used to be free unless they were BIG.

 

[Cksport]

Just ordered the exclusive!!!!!!!!!

I havent gotten any of the exclusives up to this point and never felt bad about it... But the shotgun is ESSENTIAL for Flint. You cannot pose him on your display without a shotgun.

Very excited to get him.

 

[Skiman]

Ordered the EX, got it whenever I came home and it was on the site at 8:00 central, just finally catching up to this thread.

 

[darkknight]

I wonder how long will it take for the ex to sell out

 

[EVILFACE]

Exclusive is still not sold out...that's not good.

Hope that is sarcasm cause it doesn't matter. He will sell out of ex and regular.

 

[Buttmunch]

Its TBD so they can leave it up for a day or two if they want.

 

[Silent December]

yeah, Flint is taking his sweet time selling out. Not like Firefly, so either people aren't buying or SSC made a million of these.

 

[Khev]

Flint looks great!

Grabbed Aldo Raine as well!

Grabbed both as well. While not my favorite character Flint may be the most perfectly executed figure to date as he appears to be the first character that allows for TWO classic looks, cartoon version with laser rifle and vintage figure with sawed-off shotgun. Well done!

Could be because no email for newsletter subscribers?

 

[Glennfett]

i ordered this..and im a SW fan-go figure
Im amazed to see how much STUFF he comes with!!!
and to think i pay as much for the SW stuff at that price!!!
As GI JOE is NOT as big here in Australia as it is in the States,i think i may just start buying some of these-they look bloody UNREAL!!!!

 

[Silent December]

Could be because no email for newsletter subscribers?

Does anybody actually wait for the email newsletter? I just go to sideshow's site around 5:45 and 6:00 and just order of off there.

 

[darkknight]

I myself needs reminder

 

[EVILFACE]

lol, my newsletter email shows up about 6 hours late.

 

[darkknight]

Oh, I meant the priority PO email for specific figure not newsletter
