There’s lots of talk over on The Fwoosh regarding 6” anything. That board is very literally obsessed with that scale for whatever reason.

The series lost me at Ripcord not being a pugnacious redhead.

And I will counter that the original cartoon is just a small part of the Joe universe and far less interesting than the comics, where Snake Eyes plays a pivotal role from the very beginning.

No, the most memorable Snake Eyes moment in the first animated series was when he exposed himself to lethal levels of radiation to save the rest of his team in the “M.A.S.S. Device” mini-series, then somehow didn’t die, stumbled off into an Arctic wasteland, won the loyalty of a wolf by saving it from a trap and fought a polar bear.

I miss Sigma 6. The animated tie-in was awful, almost as bad as the DiC cartoon, but the figures themselves were amazing toys, and they were only getting better as the line progressed. I’m still pissed that the second wave of Adventure Team figures was never released. I’d kill for Joe Colton (with flocked hair!) vs. a gorilla, or Dusty and that gigantic, translucent scorpion...
