How much are they going for?
I collect mostly the modern 3 3/4 inch Joes.
These I've yet to explore and I'm trying to resist as i do regret getting the 6 inch Star Wars figures and don't wanna make the same mistake.
They look great though... especially Roadblock and Scarlett.
Is it just me or does Roadblock's head sit unnaturally high above his shoulders.
I got into Joes pretty recently, well after there was any toyline on shelves, so I've been hanging out for this. And I wasn't disappointed - these figures are absolutely spectacular, about as good as action figures can be and a great starting point for a Joe fan looking to begin a collection. Though I picked up a few of my favourite characters, the smaller figures just don't do it for me - mostly because it's so hard to find a decent (and decently painted) head sculpt at that scale.
I know there will inevitably be many things about this line that don't satisfy big chunks of the Joe fandom, but I hope this amazing line is successful and brings in new fans and earns the property a place in stores for a long time to come.
For those interested in collecting these, some figures are listed on Amazon under code names, with only "GIJ CS" as the rest of the description. For example Snake Eyes is listed as Tarantula.
Oh, I've had Snake Eyes for a few days, and he's AMAZING.
I share your sentiment. Judging by the reaction of not only the Joe fandom, but the 6'' action figure fandom in general, this line is doing great imo. Figures are flying off the shelf in the US.
I actually prefer the all black color scheme on this retail version to the exclusive version with silver visor. This may look visually uninteresting, but he has so much going on! Love the contrast in surface texture between painted glossy black armor, leather, and cloth. There's so much sculpted detail. Also love the boots that are sculpted like ninja shoes.

Anyone now want a cartoon accurate purple repaint of this mold?
