Ordered the Sideshow exclusive version of Snake Eyes.  Way too expensive but if I passed and missed out then I'm sure I would be paying more down the road.

I gotta say, I liked Deep Six as a kid, but in the toon he was a much more "mobile" guy in the big deep sea suit, and so I'm disappointed they didn't seemingly update him in the slightest there. 

And Joe guys getting a repaint of a vehicle already. :)  I'd be pissed I think, but at least this is the version that you should've gotten the first time.

The Firebat and pilot is just amazing.  I remember the one my brother's Terror Dome came with, and how you could order extras to make a swarm of them.  I think I got one at a flea Market and loved the thing...  They looked good around the Night Raven.

So, they're making Deep Six, and they've already made Torpedo, they must make Wet Suit next.  :)

(Wet Suit v1 was my favorite Joe as a kid.)

The new vehicles were found at a K-Mart on the East Coast.

Let's give credit to Hiss Tank for that news, even though they edit out the JD.com links everytime something generates over here....

$119.99 is just stupid for this.  Sideshow's prices on their 12-inch figures are getting out of hand.

$120?  Goo.  I hadn't noticed the price when checking out some pics this morning.  I was half tempted to order it, but not at that price.  They're just getting too expensive for someone on my budget (not that I've picked up many anyways, just saying).  It does look pretty spiffy though, I'll say that.

I just noticed that the SS Snake Eyes is up but I can't get on the site right now.  It's set up for the SDCC pre-order at 1:00.  I'll look later.  But, yes, $120?  F that.  Now we know what we can expect for Darth Vader, I guess.  You know there's no way they're going to charge less for Vader if they're getting $120 for Snake Eyes.

I have pre-orders up for Indiana Jones, Obi-Wan in armor and I'm on the wait list for Lara Croft but those three are ridiculous also.  I passed on Aayla and have passed or cancelled all the recent figures except ANH Obi-Wan which is an amazing piece.

But now they're getting into the RAH price range and it's not worth it to me.  I don't know if their prices have significantly increased or if they're just getting greedy now.  Whichever, I'll stick to the 3" unless they put out the AT-AT Driver which is my guy.

And Jesse, on the Deep Six front, that figure is all new with new articulation.  He's not as articulated as the rest of the 25th figures just due to the suit, but he has swivel shoulders, elbows, swivel wrists, and knees.  I think his hips might move too but I'm not positive on that.

I'm such a hypocrite.  I just pre-ordered Snake Eyes.  I finally got in and saw all the detail and accessories on it and ordered it.  Plus it's not shipping till first quarter 2009 so I have time to save/cancel.  If it was shipping this year I'd probably pass.

Really?  That picture looked like a pretty straight re-release of the vintage figure to me...  They hid the joints well then, that's cool.

Will he have the floating feature the old one had?  That would really be a neat throwback.

Paul, no Hisstank credit here!  >:)

No mention of the floating feature on the S.H.A.R.C.  The write up in the newest newsletter also mentions that he can grasp things with his hands but I don't know if that means articulated figures or not.  It sort of looks like it in the photos but it may just be because his hands are built open so things will fit in them.

K-Mart is still pricing their Joes at $6, which is amazing. I found some more wave 8 there and decided to get the Cobra Commander from this wave, just because he has that weird accessory and the silver stripe on his helmet.

I had already found and purchased the rest of the wave at WM and TRU.  ::)
