I’ll admit it right up front. I’m not a 12″ afficianado, not by a long shot. I’m a child of the 80’s and my first real introduction to the 12″ scale was with the Hall of Fame figures, which, admittedly is a pretty narrow sampling to pull from. Granted, as Hasbro returned to the 12″ scale with the Real American Hero characters, I double dipped in both scales sporadically, but I’ve still never really explored just what companies do with the 1:6 scale these days. I’ve heard of Dragon, BBI, Hot Toys, and yes, Sideshow, but I’ve never really had a reason to fully explore those options.
Well, now I do. And as an introduction to the 12″ scale, I bit the bullet on the Sideshow Collectibles’ Snake Eyes…and if this is what it’s like in the 12″ world, then man, I’ve been missing a lot. Of course, when my main experience with the 12″ scale involves barely poseable Hall of Fame figures and the questionable Hasbro offerings of the past 6 or 7 years, I guess it’s easy to be impressed.

In a surprise announcement, Sideshow Collectibles has announced the production of G.I. Joe Environments in scale with their 12″ collectible action figures. The first announced item is the “Recon at Waypoint 12 with Timber” designed to work with Snake Eyes. This is an amazing looking piece, and there’s a preview of this item visible here.
No price is announced yet, but I really love how this thing looks. Makes me wonder just what they might come up with to work with the COBRA guys. Wow.

It seems like it’s been forever, but the Sideshow Collectibles Snake Eyes figure is shipping now! Some folks at HissTank.com have received theirs already (and have started taking pictures in this thread). Mine will hopefully be here next week or shortly thereafter, and you can expect a full gallery and review once it arrives. I’m really looking forward to it!
