Went to the site and it says sold out on it. So idk if it dropped today or what but it's not there anymore. I screenshot it also. View attachment 498139View attachment 498140
He is in stock now at ThreeZero.
He does look pretty cool but I wonder why so cheap, Im wondering what the catch is.
Agreed, once I saw the price I was like.. can't really go wrong. Plus, bbts has it $5 cheaper..
IIRC, ThreeZero tends to put products up around either 0800 or 0900 Hong Kong time, so the "sold out" thing is probably just a placeholder until it actually goes on sale. Plus, I don't think ThreeZero does pre-made sales anymore, and opts for pre-order windows instead, but it has been a while for me, so I could be wrong.
Anyway, I'm really happy that they have the IP, and I can't wait to see how they handle Cobra Commander. And I know it's a stretch, but I would love to see ThreeZero tackle the '91 Snake Eyes:
Yah it's odd they typically do an EX kinda bummed. Wouldve liked an updated timber...$150 seems reasonable. Taking it back to 2010 prices.
Darn, I really did not want to fall down another rabbit hole collecting another line.
No EX from Threezero apparently?
In case anyone didnt already see this they confirmed it's a line and not just a couple one offs.

The sideshow were kinda hybrid show versus their interpretation. Alot of hardcore fans didnt like it so the sales suffered. So instead of trying to find a happy medium they kept shoveling army building figs instead of necessary characters which also pissed people off. There we also many reused pieces from figure to figure. Ultimately sideshow I believe gave up on the line kinda like they did with star wars and hot toys picked them up.I wonder how the sculpts will look without a mask - Duke, Baroness, Lady Jaye, etc.
It will be interesting to see if Threezero will base them off the 80s cartoon or some type of hybrid.
If I recall correctly, the Sideshow GI Joe line from a few years ago was fairly faithful to the cartoon.

Hopefully Threezero does it right and the releases come faster than the game of thrones / walking dead lines to keep people interested.

You hit the nail on the head here. This is what kept me out of the line until I finally budged just so I can have them on my shelf. Luckily, I got all the ones I've wanted so far for good prices except for Cobra Commander V2--got a good deal on CC but still the most expensive of the lot. The last Joe I need is Duke, but maybe I'll wait to see what ThreeZero comes up with before buying the SS version.The sideshow were kinda hybrid show versus their interpretation.

I'll prolly have to get this line too. I got lucky with my find on duke and even found a headsculpt I liked better for him. Wasnt totally keen on his and Flints faces.Wow I'm a little surprised. I thought this was the Snake Eyes movie design but based on that article, sounds like it's a "realistic interpretation" rather than based on the movie. Interesting. If that's the case, I look forward to what they come up with but I'm pretty happy with my SS Joes. Sure they required some love to bring them up to snuff, but that's also what makes me love mine so much. However, I would LOVE a Lady Jay and Scarlett to go with the rest of the team. And maybe now I won't have to pay an arm and a leg to get Baroness since I jumped in the line after they were already sold out everywhere. I literally just picked up an EX Destro 2 weeks ago [emoji38]
