FIREFLY, once a member of the SIGMA 6 team, has revealed himself to be an agent for the COBRA organization.

Normally Atom does all the Sigma 6 reviews, but now that the line has died down he is moved on to bigger and better things. I wasn’t even going to get into the line at all either. Sure, my son has a bunch of these, and I like them a lot, but Atom covered most of them.

One day, while over a friend’s house, I spied this guy. He had a very awesome look to him, with the ghost white face and the dual machine guns. He was a Sigma 6 figure that Adam hadn’t covered. His name is Firefly

There are actually two different versions of Firefly on the market. This version is the COBRA version. The other version has him in a completely different outfit. This is the one that sold me, and of course it was harder to find.

Firefly is described as follows:

“FIREFLY, once a member of the SIGMA 6 team, has revealed himself to be an agent for the COBRA organization. He disappeared from the SIGMA 6 base with classified data on the team’s technology, weapons, and vehicles. He is considered a dangerous enemy because of his expertise in sabotage and explosive devices. When he escaped, he also stole a weapon prototype being tested for infiltration using liquid fire, as well as flame-emitting gauntlets. His motive for stealing these weapons is unknown but will surely be revealed in the near future.

Awesome articulated action figure comes with an awesome flame launcher included with its weapon portfolio! Action figure comes with twin blasters, flaming chainsaw and flame missiles.”

Firefly comes in the cheaper packaging without the plastic top and bottom (in other releases, these parts combined to make a foot locker). He is amazingly articulated, with joints in all the right places to make some seriously cool poses.

The visor is held on by 2 elastic belts and holds securely to the figure. Under the mask, Firefly wears another face mask with holes only for his eyes. I like the mask on better.

The two blasters are probably supposed to be machine guns, but of course Hasbro won’t say they are machine guns. Each gun features a removable clip, and a peg so the guns can be stored on various connection points on the body.

The flaming weapon is just a missile launcher with various projectiles. You get 2 missiles and one “Flaming Chainsaw”. The missile launcher is spring loaded, and you can even place a second missile in the back to make what looks like a giant staff.

Additional weapons include two wrist mounted flaming claws. He is a very well accessorized figure.

For this review I take a look at the Sigma 6 Iron Hammer. The G.I. Joe's answer to Cobra's mechanized armies. VIDEO footage included.

Hasbro knocks another one out of the park with this homerun. At 9.99 it is a no brainer, adult collectors will more than likely enjoy the mech look of the vehicle and kids will love the playability of the toy. Grab one today.

Zartan has seen many design interpretations over the years, but this time around Hasbro went back to the classic look I grew up with as a kid.

Zartan is a mercenary in the employ of Cobra using a personal stealth technology for missions of espionage and sometimes out and out thievery. In his original incarnation he was a “Master of Disguise” but is now more of hired thug.

The look of the character hails back to his first incarnation in the 3.5 scale line back when I was a kid and it looks fantastic. The hood and mysterious eye tattoos have been kept and the look of his outfit mimics the original brown with black armor; yet he has that newer anime inspired look to him at the same time. Hasbro struck a nice balance in the design of this figure.

He stands 8 inches tall with the usual fifteen points of articulation I have come to expect from this series. The size of the gauntlets on his forearms does limit his mobility at the elbows however.

All details are painted on with the usual precision expected of this line. The fit and finish of the figure continues to impress me and the joints are all nice and tight; overall the figure feels very solid.

The accessories disappointed me a little bit this time around as they all look like they came out of a Mad Max film. Included is a working crossbow, quiver, two projectiles, wrist mounted machine gun and a grappling hook. The crossbow fires and ammo clips for the machine gun pop in and out. I would have liked to have seen a more traditional rifle or pistol with the character as that is what he uses mainly in the series. I realize however that is an adult nitpick and I am sure any younger collector would enjoy the accessories just fine.

As with all the deluxe Commando series figures the top and bottom of the package turn into a weapons locker to store accessories. This is a great looking figure and certainly a must buy by both adult collectors and kids.

Cobra Commander Battlefield General is part of the newest wave of Sigma 6 figures to hit the shelves. He is mean, lean, and wicked looking. Read on to get the latest info.

This is technically a repaint of the last release of Cobra Commander but with the classic full face mask we all know and love and some new accessories.

Despite being a repaint, it looks very different from the original release with its black paint and maroon trim. Hasbro has removed the battle damage affect on the chest plate so it now sports the same chest articulation found on standard Sigma 6 figures.

The figure comes with the usual details I have come to expect of a Sigma 6 figure; sixteen points of articulation, nice tight joints that click when you move them, neat painted on details, and of course copious amounts of wicked accessories.

Cobra Commander comes with a HUGE working rocket launcher, a power stone, two missiles, pistol, arm blade, and a battle ax. The show has Cobra using mysterious power stones to fuel their weapons of world domination. The Commander’s suit is powered by it and so are his weapons - thus the fire looking element to his arsenal.

The cloth cape and removable helmet are nice touches, and the pistol still can be hidden on his back hip behind his cape.

The top and bottom of the package form a weapons locker to store your accessories.

Well, mark this on the board as another winner for Hasbro in their magnificent Sigma 6 line. I really liked the last Cobra Commander but I think this one blows that away. Grab one today.

Here is my review of Cobra’s resident ninja, Storm Shadow. Hasbro did not try to reinvent the wheel with his redesign and kept everything that was cool about the original in the revamp of this figure.

Storm Shadow is the only Cobra henchman that has the distinction of never having failed Cobra Commander and is from the same “clan” Sigma 6’s Snake Eyes comes from creating a rivalry between the two “brothers” that comes up in the series from time to time.

Of all the Cobra figures in the Sigma 6 line, Storm Shadow is probably the closest to his original incarnation. Sleek sexy lines and white and red trim make for a sharp looking figure here. He has the usual fifteen points of articulation with cloth pants. All other detail is painted or sculpted on in usual quality style.

Storm Shadow comes with a host of accessories but nothing too outrageous or gimmicky. 1 Katana sword, 1 dagger, 2 sai’s, 1 set of nun chucks (with blades that fold out), climbing gear for hands and feet, a staff (which you can attach the sword and dagger too), and a display stand for the swords. A shoulder strap holds the sheath for the Katana and two sai’s.

Being in the 14.99 price range the package top and bottom do fit together to form a weapons footlocker for storage of extra accessories.

Now there are several repaints of Storm Shadow on the shelves and I hear at least another is in the pipeline in the near future so of all the figure paints and sculpts I have seen this first one looks best. I recommend it wholeheartedly but suggest you look around and get the Storm Shadow that looks best to you.

For this weeks review I take a look at Cobra’s evil weapon designer and sometimes henchman Destro and boy .......... is his head shiny.

I picked this particular figure up at my local Target and both Destro and Longshot had a red blinking light going off in the package. No other figures in the series have this and I have only seen it this once. There appears to be no use for this as far as an accessory to the figure and have not seen any other figures at any other time with this display gimmick.

It strikes me as odd that this figure which runs $14.99 is not only packed with the blinking LED but the batteries to power said LED, while the Dragonhawk which runs 34.99 to 39.99 requires you buy your own batteries. Go figure….

Other than the blinking light the packaging is the same 14.99 price point style with top and bottom of the package coming together to form a weapon footlocker.

The figure stands 9 inches tall, making him a head taller than the average Sigma 6 figure, and has fifteen points of articulation. Just like the other Sigma 6 figures the quality, detail, and finish are excellent.

Accessories are a mixed bag coming with Cloth jacket, metal necklace, suitcase, Uzi, rocket launcher, and two missiles.

The suitcase with hidden Uzi is neat and reminds me of the classic Destro figure which also had a suitcase with pistol in it. Nice touch and excellent detail inside the case.

The firing rocket launcher strikes me as a bit generic and while it does fire two missiles it doesn’t have any “recoil” affect as advertised on the package. It doesn’t suck but it just doesn’t wow me either. I think however a kid would be just fine with this.

The chrome on Destro’s mask appears to be actually molded of the chrome stuff and not painted on. It looks as if it will stand the test of time or rub off.

I must say this was probably my first real disappointment in the Sigma 6 line. It’s not a bad looking figure but the accessories are a little underwhelming so I can’t give a whole hearted recommendation. But if you’re a Sigma 6 fan or your kid is go for it, otherwise it’s probably a pass.

He never seems to come up with a “practical” plan to take over the world, is still thwarted at every turn by Sigma 6, and still sounds like a woosie but darn he looks wicked. It’s the Sigma 6 version of Cobra Commander.

In the show Cobra Commander is using mysterious power stones to fuel his tools in his quest for world domination. We learn at the end of the first season his suit is powered by a power stone to make him stronger and generate an energy shield and weapons.

The figure really does replicate all the things that he does in a showdown with Duke from the end of the first season without being gimmicky.

Being a Commando series figure the top and bottom of the package form the now famous weapon footlockers to store extra accessories.

Included are two removable wrist guns, staff, shield, pistol and dagger.

The staff doubles as an energy sickle and fires missiles out of the top.

The dagger can be hidden in the shield.

The gun goes in a back holster hidden by his cape.

The cape is cloth and has a beautiful Cobra logo on the back.

The helmet is removable though the hood only looks a little bland.

The figure sports a rotating chest to display various stages of battle damage.

He has 14 points of articulation, painted on detail which looks neat and clean, and nice tight joints that click. It is a solid figure all around. Once again Hasbro delivers a fantastic toy that adult collectors and kids will love. Grab one when you can.

After searching high and low I have finally gotten my hands on some of the villains from the G.I. Joe Sigma 6 line. Here is my review of the Cobra Sky B.A.T.

If you haven't had a chance to see the latest incarnation of G.I. Joe called Sigma 6, Cobra has taken to using a more mechanized force to try and conquer the world.

The Sky B.A.T. is mainly for air attacks and I am sure you have figured out by the name and huge wings on the back.

Figure looks great replicating the exact look of the TV show with 14 points of articulation. The gun does fire a projectile and the wing backpack is removable.

Honestly there is not a whole lot to say that I haven't already said about the rest of the line to date. It's a winner no doubt.

It is a very sharp looking design and a sturdy well made solid figure, and like all the Sigma 6 figures to date the joints click when you move them. So I'll let the pictures do the talking.

The wing missles do drop off if you push the back of the pegs.

Machine guns on the backpack do rotate forward and back.

Costing only 9.99 this figure has no footlocker but comes packaged on a blister card.

I can whole heartedly recommend this to both G.I. Joe fans and robot fans in general. Grab one when you see it on the shelf, kick the small children away that may fight you for it, as villains (for me locally anyway) are difficult to get. I've been looking for this one for two months.

Please note: No small children where actually harmed, kicked or damaged in the obtaining of this figure for review.

It's the centerpiece of the G.I. Joe Sigma 6 vehicle line the Dragonhawk. Read a full review with VIDEO here.

The Dragonhawk is the centerpiece of the Sigma 6 vehicle line. A cross between a helicopter and hovercraft the Dragonhawk is the drop ship for the smaller vehicles in the line.

It's huge and for lack of a more eloquent word, looks cool. This is a fantastic design reminding me of Halo/Aliens with a mix of classic G.I. Joe at the same time.

The cockpit opens to accommodate two of the 2.5 inch scale figures. The ship comes with a pilot Lt. Stone and Snake-Eyes. Lt. Stone has five points of articulation and can sit and stand. Snake-Eyes has four with a permanent straddle stance to fit the motorcycle. Like other vehicles in this line, the figures are meant to be in the ships and so limited possibility is not a problem in my opinion.

The fans rotate forward and back to simulate altitude on the ship and the sound of them changes pitch depending on which way there aiming.

Missile pods are located on each side of the ship with three missiles each that fire. When activated they make a nice missile launch 'œswoosh' and then an explosion. I think the addition of the explosion is a nice touch. It also has a pair of expansion holes on each side to add on weapon launchers from other vehicles in the line. Click the video below to hear all the diffrent sound effects.

The Gatling gun does 'œfire' but has no light up affect other than the laser/night vision light below the gun that goes off when the fire switch is hit.

On the bottom of the ship there is a magnetic arm that extends to pick up select Sigma 6 vehicles and 'œcapture' Cobra technology. When you extend the bar you get a nice hydraulic sound and a green flood light illuminated below so you can see where to dock. Be sure to click the videos below for demonstrations.

The built in handle is placed well giving you easy access to all the functions while being able to 'œfly' the ship around.

It comes with a drop cage and the Ninja bike so heavily used by Snake-Eyes in the TV show. The cage is a launcher so after being dropped the cage opens automatically then launches the bike.

With all this positive are there any negative? Yes. The sound of the engines gets rather unpleasant very quickly. There loud and not a very unpleasant pitch which run on for far too long after you have put the toy down. I also found the light affects a little underwhelming especially after having reviewed the Sigma Strike Duke which had left me rather impressed.

All in all however it is a nice toy and makes for a great piece for the shelf providing you have the room for it.

Spirit Iron-Knife is the tracker of the Sigma 6 team and my fourth figure in this line and it doesn't disappoint.

Spirit Iron-Knife is the tracker of the Sigma 6 team and my fourth figure in this line and it doesn't disappoint. Hasbro continues the fine quality I am coming to expect with this line.

Standing at eight inches tall and with fifteen points of articulation this figure is wearing the standard Sigma 6 suit like most of the other members of the team. The suits are designed to absorbed energy from Cobra's laser fire, which explains why our heroes never go down in the line of duty. Despite the entire team wearing the same suit they all tend to look very different from one another.

Cloth use on this figure is wonderful with a pair of cloth pants and working belt and head wrap. The head wrap mixed with the anime style hair is a nice touch and the detail for the arm tattoos looks great as well. All details are painted on with no stickers to apply.

Arm gauntlet opens up to expose the communication link as all the Sigma 6 figures do.

Equipped with an impressive selection of gear he comes with a long dagger, a tomahawk which splits into two halves, a working power bow, quiver and assortment of arrows.

The bow is insane. it actually fires the bows and it's huge!! Much like many of the other figures in this line it's all about the accessories and Spirit looks rather sharp on the shelf in the lineup with my other Sigma 6 guys.

Last but not least he does come with his faithful friend Billy the eagle. Billy's wings go up and down and the head can twist left and right. He comes with two little pegs on the bottom of his feet so he can stand on his perch without falling over.

Which brings me too my only complaint with this figure, which is that the only way to display Billy is to perch him on the stand which Spirit holds. I think it would have been nice if they had added some peg holes to his shoulder so you could perch him there. It's a small nitpick I know but I am hard pressed to find a negative about this figure. Heck so far I have been hard pressed to find any negative about the line in general.

As with previous Sigma 6 toys I HIGHLY recommend this one. Heck I recommend you make it a point of stopping to really look at these guys next time your in the toy store. If you haven't yet you're missing out.
