G.I. Joe
New 2009 live action movie line
G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 is a line of military-themed action figures and toys that appeared in the fall of 2005. The toyline is produced by Hasbro and continues the theme and characters established by G.I. Joe: A Real American Hero. It is also an animated series produced by the Japanese animation studio GONZO, currently airing on 4Kids TV and G4, and will start airing on YTV in the fall of 2006. It will consist of 26 episodes. It also has a 6-issue comic series published by Devil's Due Productions.

The Sigma 6 toyline served Hasbro several purposes. First, it allowed them to depart from the classic 3 ¾-inch format of the A Real American Hero series. All Sigma 6 action figures stand at approximately 8 inches and have more articulation. Second, the new series offered them the chance to streamline the storyline and characters for a new younger audience. It is hoped that Sigma 6 would follow in the success Hasbro had with Transformers: Armada and their hope is a multimedia revival of G.I. Joe. To accomplish this task, much of the old continuity has been stripped away leaving younger versions of icons from the past. (Wikipedia)

Considering Starduster was released in a still prime Joe year of 1987 most GI Joe collectors and casual fans of the line in the 1980’s had never even heard of or seen Starduster and even today he is relatively unknown. Starduster, we hardly knew you!

It interesting to note that I begin my first review about the Hasbro’s 1982-1994 GI Joe: A Real American Hero series of figures in the month after Mervyn’s Department Store announced they are going out of business. For it was Mervyn’s Toy department that I saw my first GI Joe Figures for sale and where my parents purchased a bulk of my GI Joe collection from.

Zartan has seen many design interpretations over the years, but this time around Hasbro went back to the classic look I grew up with as a kid.

Cobra Commander Battlefield General is part of the newest wave of Sigma 6 figures to hit the shelves. He is mean, lean, and wicked looking. Read on to get the latest info.

Here is my review of Cobra’s resident ninja, Storm Shadow. Hasbro did not try to reinvent the wheel with his redesign and kept everything that was cool about the original in the revamp of this figure.

For this weeks review I take a look at Cobra’s evil weapon designer and sometimes henchman Destro and boy .......... is his head shiny.

He never seems to come up with a “practical” plan to take over the world, is still thwarted at every turn by Sigma 6, and still sounds like a woosie but darn he looks wicked. It’s the Sigma 6 version of Cobra Commander.

This mech is specially designed by Destro for himself. That's right I said mech. This is not your old school G.I. Joe's any more.
