G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 Opening Sequence

So when I had the chance to grab some G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 (Amazon.com search*) toys a few years ago I looked them over and ended up passing. At the time, and especially when these were in stores, something about the angular designs of the characters bothered me. Today, though, I look back at this G.I. Joe line and find it far more interesting than I once did. Tastes change?

Actually, looking over the G.I. Joe: Sigma 6 toys and cartoon again I’m starting to think these would have had a better chance at success than they did in the mid-2000s. The art style, for example, feels to me like it would have been more exciting to kids of today . . . but maybe I’m just projecting my own insanity on the rest of the world (again).

  1. I know alot of people weren’t fond of the anime style of the show (ie Scarlet) but i though it lent it self perfectly well to Cobra.

    Pretty sure Resolute is still the most highly regarded modern Joe cartoon. A shame it’s only an hour.

  2. It’s funny, I passed up the Sigma 6 toys too but just this week I’ve invested in a few sets off BBTS and I have been browsing the web oogling what ones I will get now! They really do look more awesome to me now that in 2006

  3. @Hedrock – There must be something in the air. And hey, I went to BBTS and they were kinda light on Sigma 6 stuff so I’ll just assume you beat me to it.

  4. @Philip Reed there was a few things I was looking at on BBTS that where bought by someone else as I browsed, so I imagine a new shipment of stuff must have just arrived and it went fast. I managed to snag Cobra Commander and Grand Slam – they just have to ship now 🙂

  5. @Hedrock – So something’s definitely in the air if more of us are looking at Sigma 6 now. I guess if I were really smart I wouldn’t say anything else about the line until I managed to score some of the pieces I want.

    Which Cobra Commander did you get?

  6. @philip haha – lets keep it to ourselves 😉 I am actually enjoying your finds about Sigma 6 (and toys in general), your cementing my choices in jumping into this line!
    I picked up the black suit Commander. I thought he looks pretty awesome and he has a wicked helmet.
