By YT I will always remember the excitement I had seeing the first pictures of Rock N Roll and Zartan at Sideshow’s SDCC display. I was new to collecting 1/6 figures but even I could see Sideshow was stepping up their game. I still feel those 2 figures were the pinnacle of the Sideshow Joe line. What can I add

By YT I am a huge fan of the Sideshow GI Joe line, I own every figure except one and I shouldn’t. This figure is one from the, I should have passed column. He has several positive features and a lot of drawbacks. His gear load-out is impressive, typical for Sideshow. He has several firearms and edged weapons all well done. He

I have to confess the poetry spouting Major was never one of my favorites as a kid, probably due to his characterization in the

By YT I had admired the Sideshow line from afar for a while before I picked up my first figure, the Cobra Sniper on clearance. Once I had that figure in hand it was all over for me. The quality and details were amazing! When I saw they were doing a Viper, I was in. This figure did not disappoint,

I knew little to nothing about them as a kid, only being exposed to a few Adventure Team figures once at a neighbor’s house. It wasn’t until the Hall of Fame series in the 90’s, and the rise of toy collecting as a hobby that I
