Talk about opposite sides of the spectrum!  I spent the last few days reviewing $6.00 discount store figures, and now I’m jumping to a high-end 12″ collectible item.  Just goes to show you how many different markets G.I. Joe is hitting this year.

I’ve dabbled in the Sideshow Collectibles line a bit over the past couple of years, and with Hot Toys releasing some stunning looking G.I. Joe: Retaliation figures this year I thought I’d revisit the 12″ scale and get my perceptions in line before those become available.  I was very pleasantly surprised at how well this particular rendition of the ninja commando turned out.  Check out my Sideshow Collectibles Review Section or the direct link below.  You can also click the banner below to pick up one of these bad boys for yourself!

With thanks to Mysterious Stranger, I’ve been able to stay pretty current with Sideshow Collectible figure reviews, but in this case, I’m tackling this review myself!

I was able to get my hands on a Sideshow Collectibles 12″ Environment The Pit Command Center, and I’ve posted the review in my Sideshow Collectibles area, or you can just click the link directly below:

It took over a week, but I’m finally getting caught up with Mysterious Stranger’s excellent guest reviews, and I’m finishing with a good one… the 12″ Zartan!  I am continuously battling myself with this figure… not sure if I’ll be able to resist forever, and these reviews certainly aren’t helping!

I know I missed a couple of days last week, but we’re picking right up today with more guest reviews from Mysterious Stranger!  This time around, we’re catching up a bit with two fantastic new members of the G.I. Joe team.

As I said yesterday, Mysterious Stranger is officially pulling out all of the stops.  Fresh off his great guest review of the 12″ Crimson Guard, we know see the Black Dragon and Ninja Viper 12″ figures!  Being essentially re-decoes of the same figure, Stranger elected to combine both into a single review, but the pictures and words are still great.  Check out my Sideshow Reviews section or hit up the link below.

Over the past couple of weeks, Mysterious Stranger has been inundating my mailbox with guest reviews for Sideshow Collectibles products, but I haven’t had a chance to get them all posted yet.  Figured now was as good a time as any to have a “Sideshow Collectibles Review Week”.

With the 12″ Crimson Guard hitting mailboxes just last week, I figured he was a good figure to start this week off with.

I cannot thank Mysterious Stranger enough for the time he’s taken with all of these images and reviews.  It’s not a quick and easy task, so thanks to him for putting all of this work in.  Be sure to stay glued to my Sideshow Collectibles review section, or hit the direct links as they come up:

Keep watching, more Sideshow Collectibles goodness to come this week!

Talk about your turn around time!  Good friend of GeneralsJoes Mysterious Stranger only got his Sideshow SDCC Exclusive Falcon a day or two ago, and he’s already turned around another great review of the figure!

While I’ve been sitting at my desk drooling over this figure, Stranger put his money where his mouth was and we continue SDCC week with another look at a great looking SDCC exclusive.  Check out the latest review in the Sideshow Collectibles category, or by hitting the link below:

Enjoy!

I have unfortunately been sitting on this figure and this review for quite a while as other things just continued to come up in the world of G.I. Joe.  But with Sideshow Collectibles letting out rumors that they would be revealing a potential new G.I. Joe item this week, I thought it was a good time to get this review posted!

I was already working on a Cobra Viper review myself when Mysterious Stranger sent his in to me, so I figured we’d do the best of both worlds and just team up on the thing.  We each provided images, we each provided text, and the end result can be found in my Sideshow Collectibles review category and also at the link below.  Enjoy!

• Sideshow Collectibles’ Cobra Viper

Unfortunately as I’ve mentioned many times in the past a majority of the Sideshow Collectibles’ offerings are simply out of my price range.  Thankfully I have some good friends who devote some serious money and time to the Sideshow line and eagerly provide me with reviews for the site.

This makes me very happy.

The unique thing in this case is that long time friend of GeneralsJoes Mysterious Stranger has been a huge fan of Sideshow’s offerings and also claims Rock n Roll as his all time favorite G.I. Joe character.  So posting his review here only makes sense.  Check it out in the Sideshow Collectibles Reviews category, or the direct link below.

And posting this makes me realize that I really need to dedicate a specific page to Sideshow reviews and not just the category.  They need to be easier to find.

• Rock n Roll – A guest review by Mysterious Stranger

Big props to GeneralsJoes Twitter friend Chad Lawless who has come through in a big way and sent along a very thorough review of the recently released Sideshow Collectibles 12″ Rock N Roll.  Featuring a set of new muscular arms, some fantastic accessories, and a great design, Rock N Roll is a terrific addition to the Sideshow Collectibles’ G.I. Joe team.

Check out the link below to see this great guest review, and  follow Chad Lawless on Twitter for more G.I. Joe insight as it happens.
