I”m hoping that you will create the four most feirce and bad guys on cobra side. And that would be COBRA COMMANDER, STORM SHADOW, DESTRO, ZARTAN. By the way I’m a diehard COBRA fan.
I’m sure that if Sideshow does it,it will be coool! but,”I’m sorry” none of the characters mentioned above are GIJOE. The only true GIJOE was the one that stood 11 1/2″ tall and wore a scar on the right side of his face and was known only as- GIJOE. None of this “YO” stuff. Hey thats just my opinion.
Finally. Hope they don’t suck.
Great!
Sideshow is the best of the best.
I only hope they’ll arrive in Italy and in the rest of Europe.
I think Sideshow know the real spirit of 1982 G.I.JOE.
Good work, my Friends!
Damn it i need money
Snake-Eyes, Storm Shadow and Firefly…Nuff Said!
When it comes emblems like the famous hooded cobra, It would be terrific to see high quality embroidered logo’s on the action figures clothing. Not some cheap looking iron-on. Though…that may be asking for too much…(I hope not)
I`m brazilian i like gijoes goooo joes hehehehe the beautifull toys 2008 im colections new…sorry my bad inglsh…i see to movie!!!
after seeing the images of the new movie version snake eyes - COUNT ME IN
They Are The Few, The Proud, The defenders of Freedom, They Serve with Pride, The Vanguards of Honor.
Go Joe
Where the flip are my Joe’s, Sideshow????
Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Destro and Cobra Commander are all going to be must gets for me! Please have mercy on us and not release them all at once or even one after another. I will have to go back to a life of crime! But I will if I have to! LOL!
VR
SS is going to make G.I.Joe figures? Oh, crap! I was planning to cut down on stuff from this source. All it takes is a one good looking Scarlett and I will be trapped. I hope it will be more PF than 12 inch - I only collect the latter.
Being a former Coastie, I’d love to see Cutter, fat chance though. Others I’d love to see are Zartan, Flash, Crimson guard
Sweet, I’m going to be broke now. Can’t wait for Gun-HO and Cover Girl. I hope that was Beach head and not Snake Eyes.
Sideshow huh? So much for be able to afford these
Awesome advertisement!
Tell me which one did Dusty do the character stand-in on for the ad
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOoooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! This is horrible! I buy GI joes to play with. They were cheap and no matter what you did they never broke. Now sideshow licensed them. Now all ill be able to do with them is let them collect dust on my shelf with a “do not touch or Ill break your legs” sign next to it. No offense sideshow but GI joe is a kid thing. And I think Hasbro should have kept the licence for it. No kid has probably even heard of Sideshow Toys. I have to say, unless you make them under $20.00, make them playable and study enough for little Jonny to play with after flushing them down the tollit or tying them to firecrackers than this is pretty much the worst thing Sideshow has every done.
HPLD THE PHONE !!! The # 1 and 7 pictures could be out of order !!! SNAK-EYES is old School !!! He was in NAM !!! NUFF SAID !!! Grunt could be # 7 . There are # of COBRA ENEMYS troops . WHY CANT THERE BE Green Shirts Troops for JOE ???
OMIEFFINGGAWRSH!
NO FREAKIN’ WAY! Talk about ’80’s guilty pleasures. I’m soooo never growing up. Just start sculpting baby! Don’t care who’s up first…had cartoon crushes on Flint and Dusty and wanted Lady “J”’s spunk back in the day so just start that assembly line. Do what you do best SS- all in the details like “Wolf” posted earlier.
So much for the responsible-save money-buy less collectibles resolution for 2008. Didn’t even take 50 days to break it. Damn.
This is great news for all us 1\6 collectors, your company is spectacular, and I am personally ecstatic to see you join up with Hasbro. Hopefully that means that we’ll see your products on the shelf in local stores. This is great!
Nicely Done.
I am so glad that they are re-releasing one of the first classic action figures. No doubt that there new line action figures are going to surpass generations in quality and style. So many styles of “G.I.Joe’s” out there. There can only be one, congratulations on an upcoming success SideShow!
Damn you Sideshow! I’m going to have to have my paycheque sent directly to you guys. I don’t need to buy groceries, the pigeons and squirrels in our area are pretty slow. I’m really looking forward to this line.
One thing only:Storm Shadow PF!!!!!!!!!!!Then i’ll die happy…
OH. MY. -GAH-
The two toys I was crazy for as a kid were Transformers and GI Joe -neither of which I really collect now (the occasional tf sneaks in). But now my wallet is in PAIN. I love Sideshow and how can I pass up the greatest versions of Joe ever?? I can’t. I guess I gotta ask for a raise.
urrgghh
If its a “realistic” 1/6th line, rather than the statues, I would definitely consider buying them. Looks like I’ll be pulling a lot of overtime this year. And upgrading to that storage unit to hold everything…
Will we get some vehicles too??? J/K! Can’t wait.
You realize, Sideshow, that by doing this, you have assumed a moral obligation to throw in an extra pair of kung fu grip hands. It’s either that or fuzzy hair. Such is the weight of tradition.
I seriously thought the 12″ starwars line was my downfall but this one took me back to my childhood and pleasent memories of my GI Joes which I still have.Star Wars,Lord of the Rings and now GI Joe, stand up and take a bow you guys/girls deserve it…….very well done.
P.S. stop reading your collectors minds it’s scary.
Ugh… I really hope these are the characters we grew up with and not the bastardized characters from the flop of a script for the upcoming movie. If so, I see this line sinking faster than a meat turd. It’s rumored to co-star Marlon Wayans. Marlon Wayans! Anyone remember Dungeons & Dragons?! I don’t even think Ray Park (Snake Eyes) can save this one, despite the fact his role is non-speaking…

FIREFLY PLEASE….I will still buy all the rest….but Firefly has to be included!!!
All i have to say are:
Adam Hughed Lady Jaye, Scarlett, and Baronness maquette/PFs…
and Snake Eyes / Storm Shadow / Cobra Commander PFs…
oh yes.
I would love to see Snake Eyes’ wolf, TIMBER in 1:6 Scale. Hahaha. GO GET EM” BOY!! (GRRRRRR)
DESTRO YOU HAVE TO DO DESTRO!!!!!!!
What a teaser. Hope that they pay due respect to the heritage of the classic Joe with sympathetic improvement.
Looks like the big boys are taking notice that there is a market for 12″ action figures.
Look forward to seeing how things develop!
COBRAAAAAAAA! My blood rises with anticipation! At last, Cobra Commander, the Baroness, and the loyal Cobra Troopers in 1:6 scale! Not to mention Destro, Major Bludd, Dr. Mindbender, Serpentor, StormShadow, Zartan, and the other versions of Cobra Commander!! I commend Sideshow for giving us the opportunity for these great characters! Long live the might and power of Cobra!
I would love to see the Crimson Guards, the B.A.T.S.,Serpentor,Zartan, and Stormshadow.
Please keep them Classic.
i love the ad, its real and to the point. i am so looking forward to seeing gijoe figures from you. i have over 300 in my personal collection. i do hope you do come out with some of the female figures. they are and will always be an important part of the teams, cobra and gijoe. so please don’t forget them. and please let us know when and where they will be released, its hard when you can’t get out and don’t know where things are. thank you,
charlie k
i have to say, i love the way you put out the ad. i am a huge g,i,joe fan. i have over 300 figures alone. i will be looking forward to seeing some real figures coming out again and maybe we can see a few females like scarlett, baroness, ladyjaye and so on. there has been so many characters left out, its about time we see some come to life. lets see it happen
As a child I never was into G.I. Joe, but only until just recently I started collecting the 25th anneversary figures. It was a way to relive that childhood I never had. I watched as many episodes as I could on YouTube.com, along with the movie. I AM HOOKED. This commercial makes me want that new cinematic movie to be released tommorow.
Oh. My. God.
Oh dear lord, I SERIOUSLY hope I get that better paying job I’ve applied for. Sweet jesus! Go Joe!
OMG, wish they would get more licenses for 80’s toys! I WOULD LOVE THUNDERCATS 12″ FIGURES from sideshow. It was one of the most popular toy lines of the 80’s and is also becoming a move to be released in 2010. WARNER BROTHERS GIVE SIDESHOW A LICENSE! PLEEEEEEEEASE!
I just love G.I joe. When I was a child, I used to play for hours with my action figures. I hope that story repeats it self. You gotta love it!!!
Please….don’t forget that “Snake Eyes” has his trademark timberwolf.
Thanks-
OMG!! That is the coolest ad!!! I can’t wait to see them!! I’m going to be poor for a long time…..
looking forwrd to see some CRIMSON GUARDS or CRIMSON GUARD IMMORTALS! COBRA!!!
Are you talkin’ 12 inch Sideshow Joes? NICE!
yes yes yes thanck you 12 sieze yo goe
cobra commendeur 12 sieze
….sweet lord my wallet’s screwed!…..
I definitely want a Hooded Cobra Commander!!!! Serpentor would be sssssuper too!
Dear Sideshow…
This is a “dream” line for me. I trust you’ll be doing 12′ figures for the line. I hope that you’ll remain faithful to original character designs, in addition to the upcoming movie figures. Please pay attention to the smallest details, with regard to accessories. For example…”Baroness” needs to have glasses & “Destro” needs a real chrome head (a tad larger, because it’s a mask.) And characters with hoods, should have a “real” face underneath.
And I hope you’ll do some of the more complex figures…like “Bat” androids. I’ve been waiting forever…for someone to do legitimate & serious 12″ figures from this line. I would much prefer these figures over “statues”, because the real clothing, & ability to pose & customize, makes this line terrific. And I’ll hope you’ll continue to offer “exclusive” versions of figures, with special parts. And that you will continue the trend of offering “fan favorite” figures.
Special weapon packs, scenery, vicious animals & other nasty critters would be welcome additions to the line. And plenty of Cobra baddies please. Thank you-
wow cant wait
(Jaw hits floor!) Wowzers! This is like some dream come true! Whatever the finished product ends up being - 12″, Premium Format, Busts, or the works, it should be pretty frikkin’ awesome!
Not really interested in this line. I’ll stick to Star Wars.
OMG !!!
SIDESHOW ! are you going to stop making more Incredible collectibles. I want snake eyes GIIIIII OOOOOOOO JJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEEE!!
This definitely has a LOT of potential. I hope SS can work some wonders with this line up. Hopefully SS starts using bigger bodies for their male characters.
“Pay to the order of: Sideshow Collectibles”
I’m gonna be broke for a good long while!
YO JOE!!!!
as long as these are cartoon based and not from the new movie i’ll be picking up quite a few of these
That’s What I’m talking About!. It’s All about
Baroness and Snake Eyes Baby!.
For all you G.I. Joe Fans here’s a little info.
G.I. Joe the movie -
—TOP SECRET—
For Your Eyes Only
Cast Info
Baroness - Being played by Sienna Miller
Snake Eyes - Ray Parks (Darth Maul)
Storm Shadow - Byeong-Heon Lee (Old Boy)
Scarlett - Rachel Nichols (Alias, 30 Days of Night)
I’m a great GI Joe Fanatic, however I always looked at Sideshow as being a leader in Hollywood related figures. I would have preferred to see if Sideshow would Continue or should I say finish what they started in the Vanhelsing Line….A way cool Werewolf and Incredible looking Vampire Bat Dracula that would have been fantastic and unsurpassed in the PF versions. This is probably why the Vanhelsing figure is not yet sold out…..The following would have been better if they were offerred those key characters.
Can I buy STOCK in Sideshow? I know like myself thousands of collectors are groaning again that we will never be able to spend money on anything but Sideshow products. My kids tell me I spent their college money several times over. If I could buy Sideshow stock at least I may get some money back.
With the quality and talent of the Sideshow sculptors, this line of GI Joes should be Kick-A**! Maybe a line of TALKING Joes is planned?! I don’t suppose we would be so lucky that these new figures will have the “fuzzy”, realistic buzz-cut hair as did some of the later Hasbro GI Joe figs? This takes me back to my own childhood - LOVED the GI Joe! What ever SS has in store, I can’t wait for the 17th!
Or is this going to be like the Conan and Indiana Jones licenses, where eight months after being announced we have yet to see a single product?
A nice surprise IF you do them in the classic mid-80’s styles.
fail…..duh…..you are correct dave.
still believe it is baroness
HOLY MOLEY!! THANKS SS!! YO JOE!!
Also, this awesome trailer is probably better than the one for the “Global Task Force” movie will be.
WOW! I NEVER thought Hasbro would unclench their fists from this line EVER! Can’t wait til Toy Fair week!
Not a week ago I was telling my wife I would freak out if Sideshow ever got the GI Joe license (thinking it was likely due to the movie coming out). Now I suppose I better go upstairs and freak out! This is seriously the greatest toy company ever!
This is a license I was hoping you guys would do. I think I even recomended it on a star wars comment section cause I didn’t know where else to put it.
Yessss! Thissss isssss great!!! COBRA!!!
First the giants win the super bowl then a g.i.joe line omg this is awesome, gonna be a great year.
I’d love a Sideshow Snake Eyes & Stormshadow!
Of course it could be lady Jay
They show both Cover Girl, the Baroness, and Scarlet
he is saying they stand for freedom against those who would see it FAIL!
you have to be kidding me……..Dang you SS don’t you get enough of my money as it is! My wife is going to leave me…….I guess it leaves more room for figures. K/D Honey.
Give me, The Master of Disguise, Sideshow….the assassin of the Hard Master..The one and only: ZARTAN !!!! With exclusive, change-o- color face…
Cobra Commander and Destro!!! I so can’t wait to see how those to come out, Sideshow style!
although……sorry for multiple comments…..when it does show the “sexy leg” it says “against those that see it (thin?)” so…..it is up for discussion.
God. I need a second job. I want a Destro and Beachhead on the double!
although, now that I see the ad a couple more times….they only show joes at first….so…..it could be covergirl…..can you imagine the possibilities…..drool…. all the cobras!!!
it is possible it is covergirl, but….they had to have shown baroness in there she is too well known…all fanboys know the sexy baroness!!…I don’t think they could have come up with a full on baroness leather outfit right away….plus I don’t think covergirl wears leather tight stretch pants. She is too obscure of a character to use her right away….unless they stick her in the movie alot…unlikely though. Bring em on!!!
I’m in for a Storm Shadow and Snake Eyes! Hehehe! The little kid in me is all excited! I can’t wait guys. Do us proud SIDESHOW….oh, and YO JOE! Sorry couldn’t help it.
Oops, I meant Leatherneck, not Leatherhead, hehe…
I believe that was Cover Girl, not Baroness… and the last Joe could be Leatherhead.
I think that was Cover Girl, not Baroness…
sweet monkeys……best news ever!!! I hope it goes further than 12″ figures, although I will get them anyways no matter who the character is!! Baroness and firefly by far are the coolest characters…lets see some statues!!!! I have been dreaming of this line for SS for years!!! Thanks SS, I am more loyal than ever now!!!
does this mean we are gonna see jedi snake eyes, tatooine snake eyes, bespin snakes eyes, or are you ganna stick to the basics and make more characters…….sorry still waiting for VADER…..COOOOOOBRAAA!!!
Good move by both companies.
HASBRO:
1)can focus on 3-3/4″ and not split time/R&D with a 12″ creation team.
2)12″ RAH had lack-luster sales with the 90’s Hall of Fame line and subsequent line from 2002-05, because they were too “kid oriented”. Remember the 90’s massive sonic sound guns, and the odd character choices in 2004 with Coil Crusher and Sand Scorpion figures. They sucked. Hasbro should have stayed more militaristic.
3)should have received money for the license so they turned a profit without making a single toy.
SIDESHOW:
1) takes another major step in “street cred” among the toy industry. Kudos to them for being able to pull an in-house brand from Hasbro.
2) will not make the same mistake as Hasbro. Their line looks very militaristic appealing to even the vintage 12″ collectors.
3) probably got the license relatively cheap since Hasbro knows 12″ is a tough market, but SS could make a killing with the movie coming out to boost sales among new adult collectors that won’t buy regular “kiddie toys”.
Question is… 12″ figures or the statues? With how much I spend on Sideshow as it is I can’t really afford the $200 to $300.
Sweet ad!
I collected the old Adventure Team Joes, but never cared for the little ones they made in the ’80s. But 1/6 scale versions? Dear God–help my bank account…PLEASE.
I’m cautiously optimistic. I do hope sideshow is “revamping” Joe to sideshow standards.
Star Wars line as an example. If so, bring it on. Please leave the clumky toy figure at the door.
This is the worst thing that could happen to a Joe fan and SSC collector. I hate you forever.
9mm Ed
GI Joe?!? This brings back good memories…Can’t wait for the 1:6 figures…Bravo, Sideshow!!
G.I.JOE FOR EVER YO JOE
This is AWESOME news!
Zartan, Zartan, Zartan!
Don’t mess with their designs, keep ‘em classic!
lets run down which characters were shown on the commercial spot..?
1.Grunt
2.Rock n Roll
3.Lady J
4.Gung Ho
5.Baroness
6.Beach Head
7.either more Beachhead or Snake-eyes?
8.Scarlet
9.Flint
10.Duke
11.????
12.Cobra Commander
YES! I mean, NO! My wallet cries for mercy! I wanted to see this. I even asked Hasbro to do it. But I never suspected they would partner with Sideshow to do it!
Awesome, truly, truly awesome.
Dear Sideshow,
First you got Star Wars. Then you got Indiana Jones. Now you’re getting G.I. Joe.
How about I just have my paychecks sent directly to you and cut out the middleman?
Tom
Badboy…what the heck are you babbling about…the commercial wasn’t on actual TV!!!
WOW….. I’m going to be broke…especially if they are 12″ figures!!
I don’t collect these…but I must say (as a collector) that this is an awesome line for you guys to do. I can only imagine the possibilities of this line in your hands and where it can go. I may end up with a few, like Snake Eyes. PS. Make the ladies HOT!
YES!!! YO JOE!!!!!!
I just hope they let them also make PF’s! I would rather have them than the 12″er’s. But I know that the 12″ line is what started it all, so….
Here’s to some great new pieces!!!
Depending on what type of product is produced I may spend a lot on this line. Is it a movie line or a retro line. If it’s 1/6 they will definitely get my money.
OH MY GOD!!!!! THIS IS GOING TO BE A GREAT YEAR!!!!
Terrible, Very disappointing. Coundn’t care less
about G.I. Joe. I’ll definitely NOT be getting
any of this line. Commercial not that great does
not do the company justice at all. I will for sure
get my balls busted tomorrow at work because a lot
of my co-workers know I buy from sideshow.
Awesome commercial!!! Worth every penny. Congrats Sideshow!! You’ve got a huge hit on your hands. YO JOE!
Unbelievable!! Sideshow once again proves just how amazing they are. Go Joe!! I just now got it downloaded and can’t stop watching. Great news indeed my friends. Way to go Sideshow!!
Great commercial, and what a way cool anouncement. Will be interesting to see what all comes out of this line.
What What?! YO JOE!
who is it? surprise, surprise, surprise! is that gomer pyle? i dont know , i just don’t, i’m not, G I dont know. not impressed.i think platoon was cooler. dismissed.
SWEET!!!!
That is the best commercial of the Superbowl.
you just got my tax return and that stimulus rebate check!!
Great way to introduce a new line! Sideshow has done such a great job with the Star Wars line I can’t wait to see what they will do with a GI Joe line. This will be a great addition to the 25th anniversary figures that Hasbro started putting out last year. Thanks for the info. cus knowing is half the battle! Go Joe!
I thought it was a commercial from Sideshow honoring those who serve in the armed forces. As it progressed I realized it was something else. Don’t care about GI Joe so my wallet will have a break.
Wowie Kazowie!!!
I know you guy’s are going to make the best Joe’s ever.
That is just frackin’ cool!!!!
And knowing is half the battle.
Dude….I think I just filled the cup. Yo Joe indeed!
HOW,Where and when. G.I.Joe the real American Hero is back.
I got to see this. I’m in.
thanks ssc, though i was expecting something a bit more humourous for a half time ad, looking forward to what you’ll do with this line though.
This just made JDad’s day. He’s been into GI Joe since he was a kid. Now, he finally has a line of his own. Thanks SS!!
Very Very good, COOOBRAAA.
OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!
So…what are we talking about here? 12″ G.I. Joe figures? I’ll be really interested if you can go retro with the license. That would be very cool.
A Joe line made by SS? Is this possible? Am I reading too much into this? Someone help me! Only SS could do it right!
Yo Joe! Sweeet, I want to see Cobra Commander and Destro. Never ever going to be able to save any money again.
Thanks!
DAve
AWSOME!!!!!
Love GI Joe.
Great announcement. Can’t wait to see cobra commander!
I was not expecting that at all.
AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH DEAR GOD WHY!?
It’s as if thousands of wallets cried out in pain, and were suddenly silenced…….
WEll.. there goes my money, forever.
HOLY COW!!! I’m In!!!!!
Cool–Go JOe
