G.I. Joe Classified One-A-Day Beamish-Style Figure Poll - #189 - Zartan (Sigma 6)

[Ru1977]

Day 188 - Long Range - (Sigma 6) (3/19/26)

New character recycling a RAH codename, but I fee like this Long Range has a better shot at a Classified figure than the vehicle driver.

 

[DetectiveHoag]

Oh, this is from Rob Liefeld’s tenure on the Joe book. With the weird body proportions and comically proportional elephant gun. Add the obligatory 90’s trenchcoat and there you go.

Don’t care much for the design. Classified would have to work some serious magic on this guy to get my interest. Probable pass.

 

[Ru1977]

I didn't even realize the Sigma 6 cards don't give their real names or place of birth. Weak. A big part of the appeal for me is this Long Range is Alejandro Garcia, from Monterrey, Mexico.

 

[Chooch555]

His gun is a vehicle. He points it backwards and rides it like a broomstick. I'd be all for a Classified sniper called Long Range.

 

[Damien]

I hate both of those.

But I also feel like I need to point out that I just can't force my brain to de-fuckify those bodies. I absolutely despise, to the very core of my soul, the Sigma 6 -style-, and that is definitely affecting how I view the -designs-. I just can't see these in my brain properly divorced from how hideous those bodies are.

 

[Chooch555]

@Damien new subnic: body shamer.

 

[WrathofTaco]

New body that doesn't look like a tumor monstrosity, please, but gimme them chops and that stupid giant rifle exactly as it is right now you cowards.

 

[AceofKnaves]

Again: decartoonify. And then maybe.

 

[canprime]

Make the gun some sort of mortar/pac rat drone and I could see it being a better figure with the usual Classified "Zhuzh."

 

[Damien]

Again: decartoonify. And then maybe.

I wish my brain could decartoonify it so I could even see what I think that would look like. I'm usually REALLY good at visualizing design language but I just cannot do it here. It's like the Sigma 6 style causes my whole brain to crash out.

 

[docsilence]

Yeah, I can't stand the toy design of Sigma 6, they're so fucking WEIRD. I will say though, put a guy in a poncho, I'll at least take a look.

 

[Spongyblue]

Aww man, yall are hurting my feelings. Long Range was a fave of mine because of the ridiculous rifle.

 

[Damien]

I want to assure you that I would never intentionally hurt your feelings for having terrible taste.

 

[WrathofTaco]

Oh no, I want that rifle absolutely unchanged, same molds, same paint. I don't care that it's hilariously out of scale, or if he needs a wheelbarrow to haul it around. Gimme.

 

[Spongyblue]

I want to assure you that I would never intentionally hurt your feelings for having terrible taste.

I could say the same about Kylun, but I have manners.
