This is the did or bbi sculpt I found for duke. I love it. But yah those two looked odd. I really wanted a jinx scarlet lady jaye and cover girlAgreed again!Flint is my favorite Joe, and I've always wanted a better sculpt for him. I haven't gotten around to repainting mine yet but who knows, maybe I won't even have to if ThreeZero does a good enough job if/when they get to him. Unfortunately, they're notorious for slow releases. I mean Walking Dead could be an incredible line, but they're so slow at getting characters out. They've done a better job with GoT though, I'll give them that. If it's not too weird to say, I've always thought Flint and Lady Jaye were like the "good looking" couple, but unfortunately SS made Flint look a bit brutish. And they made Duke look like Duke Nukem instead of RAH Duke.

That is a nice sculpt for Duke. I do want a better one for Flint myself. He is my favorite Joe.

Yeah they're reputable, been around for a bit but usually deal w/ smaller scale figures.

" redesigned by Threezero as inspired by Hasbro’s retro G.I. Joe characters"
So this sounds exactly like how Sideshow described their line. Guess we'll see what they actually come up with.
Unfortunately, the "inspired by" lines will not appeal to all ARAH fans, just depends on the design. For me, I prefer the V2 Snake Eyes with a kitbashed military sweater over this ThreeZero version, but I'm very curious to see the other characters.

I always preferred the Commando look with sweater for Snake Eyes as well but the three zero looks pretty good to me. Very much inspired by the 85 Snake Eyes figure.

I agree, but it is somewhat dated at this point and may not translate well.
I think this version is very nicely done is based on the 85 version slightly.
But it would be very cool to get a sweater version!

Thanks for the chime in. I love it too. I saw one shortly after buying this one and I was like I should grab that for someone else that might want it and I got distracted by something shiny lol.That's a much better looking sculpt for Duke
I told myself the same for the Sculpt that u used for Tobias Beckett as well, and just waited too long.

I wish I could. It's one of those random sculpts from the lesser lines line bbi dragon and the like. The body from him was one of those nasty ones that was hard orange. I had to paint the neck to match the sculpt and its partially hidden by the green shirt and his collar. I got REALLY lucky. I'm still looking for one that screams FLINT all the time so I can have the two together finally. If I find any others I will post the link in here for you fellas and or direct message you

I saw a video review on YouTube for this figure from the channel "Justin's Collection" so maybe these figures are starting to circulate? It looked pretty good, I wasn't sure if the head/shoulders seemed strangely proportioned or if it was the camera distorting things like my phone camera often does when trying to send pics to friends.
I'm more interested in the Storm Shadow since I have some decent SE figures close to the "look" I envision him as, while the Hot Toys and Sideshow Storm Shadow figs I own are nice but just a little off (for me, you mileage may vary of course). Still, a good 1/6 Snake Eyes with a classic feel is always a good thing and I look forward to some more impressions.

OMG it's out??
Looks cool! The red makes the suit detail pop out. It sort of gives me Deadpool vibes lol
Only 50pcs apparently

The BBTS listing says 1300 for North America.
I think they are only having 50 available at that con but it’s otherwise a BBTS exclusive.
As mentioned above, here's Justin's review for anyone interested. Super simple compact box which is nice these days. Can't believe 3Z still doens't include a base. Is it that much more expensive to include one of those? Overall it looks nice, but I won't be trading my Sideshow v2 for this one.

Munch is right it's 1500 pieces worldwide and 50 at that particular con. For those not familiar it's based off of Rob Liefield's Comic Snake Eyes Deadgame.
