New Sigma Six Figures
I’ve been a little lax in my Sigma Six news, because there hasn’t been anything that has really grabbed my attention… until now! Toy News International has a few pics of some new Sigma Six figures that you might want to check out. One figure that caught my eye in particular was Red Banshee, who is a transforming robot.

If you’re a Joe purist (if there is such a thing) I don’t know if there’s room in the Joe universe for fully transforming robots if you discount the whole G.I. Joe v.s. Transformers thing. For me, it works for the more kid oriented Sigma Six line, but if this guy was somehow put into the world of A Real American Hero I might have a problem with it. Yes, I realize that there’s some crazy stuff in RAH like the crap from the G.I. Joe movie, Eco Warriors, and all of that. Still, a transforming robot seems just one step above and beyond the kind of technology level that I like to associate with G.I. Joe. I prefer a Joe universe where weapons and vehicles could almost exist, not one that’s completely based in science fiction.
God I’m a geek.

That transforming robot might even be close to stretching it for the Sigma Six line, especially when his two wheels look like a pair of testes. I usually prefer my robots to be genitalia free (usually).
And “All American” Ninja Storm Shadow? He’s already a ninja…
