Re: GI Joe Sigma 6: The best toy line that you NEVER bought.
I think this line had some amazing ideas, but just wasn't able to execute them properly, and wasn't supported by a show that was any good. I mean, come on, it was like they hired Gonzo to make an anime version of GI Joe, just so they could use the 4kids magic on it and butcher it into a localized version.
I think it was a great attempt to move back into larger figures rather than 3 1/4" ones, but unfortunately, the big joes have always been niche, and I think this worked against them in the end.
But come on! In the first wave, we had a Snake Eyes with a strider-style tonfa sword, and a Storm Shadow with sword-chucks. SWORD-CHUCKS! Later on, there was a Storm Shadow that turned into basically the Shredder! I think Sigma 6 is going to go down as one of those joe lines that is hated by the majority, but loved deeply by a small group.
