I got my SE last Friday and I am thoroughly pleased. A couple of little details about both the figures as well as the concept that Sideshow is putting together has me really excited.
First of all, I have NO issues with the price for this level of detail, pouches are fully functional, the base-body for the figures is a bit unsightly with the obviously exposed articulation but under the uniform it gives an impressive range of motion.
Secondly, while I did not care for the Reloaded comic series, seeing these figures based upon the updated character designs in that comic is really a neat touch. This is most prominent with
Cobra Commander but also is very strong with
Snake Eyes' design. But I am happy to see Storm Shadow be more ARAH than the
Jet-Li Stormy of reloaded.
Anyway, this line is getting my full support and financial backing. I'm sad to see such a quality 12" Joe come from a company other-than-Hasbro but Sideshow has proven to be completely capable.
