yea, thats pretty quick turn around. Firefly will probably be a bit longer coming. Interested to see who's coming in 2010 after Duke. C'mon Sideshow, give us Destro!
I think Beachhead, Crimston Guard, and some other GI Joe guy were already announced/leaked.
I expect we will see Zartan and Flint fairly soon too.
Destro seems like a more challenging figure to design, so I expect we will be waiting a long time. I would love a Destro and Baroness.

The other GI Joe guy is Shock Wave, the SWAT instructor for GI Joe.

Yeah I don't remember that character at all. Was he around in the 1980s?

Re: SideShow GI Jooeeeee news, updates and discussion!!!!!
Yes Shockwave was out in the 80s. 2nd or 3rd gen maybe? I actually have his 80s figure, he's wearing a balaclava with a SWAT cap. He also came with a uzi, a pistol, and I believe a knife that fit into his backpack (though I could be wrong about that).
I got the 25th Anniversary version of him as well, he comes in a comic pack and also a Walmart exclusive 2 pack (with the Dreadnaught Monkey Wrench). Man I sound like such a geek... lolz

Re: SideShow GI Jooeeeee news, updates and discussion!!!!!
A lot of Zartan figures that have come out in recent years haven't bothered with the colour change. There was a 25th Anniversary variant of Zartan that would change colour if you stuck him in the freezer, and he'd turn a light shade of green, but most of the 25th Anniversary Zartans, they didn't bother.
I don't think Sideshow would bother. However, if they did, would be soooo cool.
Zartan with no colour change = no good!

I would prefer that they skip color change and just focus on a good figure. Maybe have an exclusive with a different colored head. If he is wearing gloves that would really be the only optional part needed to give it the effect of color change.

Personally, I really want to see Tunnel Rat and perhaps a v.1 Snake Eyes commando.

Re: SideShow GI Jooeeeee news, updates and discussion!!!!!
Speaking of color changing (and I'm sure this is the wrong thread to bring this up in, but what the hell), I've been thinking for a while about how cool it would be if HT released an MGS4 Snake with an Octocam suit made out of that jell-like material that changes color in accordance with the heat from your fingers. That would be my dream figure.

Yea, that would be awesom. Hell, I'd pay $300ish for somethin like that. It would take 1/6th figures to the next level
