NEW SIGMA SIX G.I. JOES

I have been a fan of the G.I. Joe Sigma Six line for quite a while. My main reason for starting to collect these figures is the fact that they come with such cool 1/6th scaled Sci Fi looking weapons.

Today at Wal Mart I came across some of the new assortment of $10 Sigma Six Joes, Gung Ho and Inferno. I picked up both figures... could have done without Inferno, but he kinda looks cool.

Gung Ho is awesome, the most realistically military themed Sigma Six Joe so far. Whilst he isn't perfectly true to the original Gung Ho (He isn't bald) the headsculpt is cool, has a real badass look to him, and he comes with enough gear to make him a feasibly real Marine. The figure comes with a somewhat sci fi modified M240B Machine Gun... I say Sci Fi Moded as its still identifiable as an M240B, but its redesigned with some added parts to make it look like say a version a couple years down the line... and caseless... the ammo belt for it, looks like the rounds developed for the HK G11 Caseless Assault Rifle. Gung Ho also comes with a removable helmet, a small knife and sheath that can be mounted onto any of the mounting holes for gear that are on the Sigma Six joes, a belt, a chest rig, and a multi tool... which is kinda silly looking. But overall well worth the 10 bucks I paid... an awesome figure.

Inferno is a decent figure, he looks better with all his gear on of course, his headsculpt is kinda lame looking. a decent firefighter character along the lines of the classic RAH Barbecue. Inferno comes with a removable helmet, small O2 tank for the front of his vest, a large tank for his back, and a huge axe.
