G.I.Joe ‘Sigma Six Villains’ Discussion By Mitchell Smith!

April 30, 2021April 30, 2021 Serpentorslair Staffaction figures, Cobra, Destro, G.I.Joe, Sigma Six, toy collecting, Zartan0 comment

Welcome to the Outpost. Today I’m talking about some of the G.I.Joe Sigma 6 villains. There are a number of versions of some of the top characters and I have a few that I’ve picked up. Cobra Commander, Destro, Zartan, Firefly, and Storm Shadow are all staple characters in the G.I.Joe world and even though these figures are a bit of an acquired taste, I think they are really cool and maybe even pushed action figures toward the 6 inch world we know today. I really like the looks of…

Background Issue 56 had a lot of action, but even more intrigue, as Cobra worked hard to keep their secrets, and the Joes engaged in a chess game of tactics with them.

Background Issue 54 had a lot of action, including a great air battle between the Conquest X-30 and the Firebat, with both pilots believing they had won. But there are a lot of questions that remain unanswered. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 54 in case you missed it.

Background Issue 53 had a lot of action, including the final destruction of G.I.Joe’s HQ: the PIT. Admiral Dyson and General Ryan both gave their lives to take out Cobra Commander and Destro.

Background Issue 43 was filled with lots of background flashbacks as well as current stories. The Soft Master worked his life trying to find out the Hard Master’s killer. But it appears he has gone to his grave after discovering this secret. We learned more about Wade Collins, an old army buddy of Snake-Eyes and Stalker. And some characters died.

Background In Issue 32, the aftermath of the battle near Snake-Eyes’ cabin was brought to a conclusion. One of the earliest Crimson Guardsmen, Fred did not make it. He was replaced with a look-alike who showed up on the doorstep of the Broca residence just outside the gates of Fort Wadsworth. On the Joe side, new Joes began showing up indicating they were replacements. Feel free to check out the review of Issue 32 in case you missed it.

Background In Issue 31, we were left with a cliffhanger. Snake-Eyes cabin was blown up with Timber and the main man inside! Just outside, but well within the blast zone are Destro, Firefly, and a Crimson Guardsman named Fred Broca. Spirit and Airborne from the Joes are there as well. The battle had gone down to the last man, and a bomb had just exploded, gravely depreciating the value of Snake-Eyes‘ cabin.

Background At the end of the 2 part Origin of Snake-Eyes issues, Zartan, the Baroness, Destro, Cobra Commander, Firefly and Wild Weasel are all in pursuit of the Joe recon team who has given them the slip. Larry Hama intertwined the ongoing story developing in the Florida swamps along with the origin story and the exciting ninja chase. Zartan was frustrated and said it was time to call in the Dreadnoks. The tease for Issue 28 on the last page of 27 was “Enter the Tank-Smashers.” On to the issue…

Background Last issue Cobra Commander escaped due to Storm Shadow’s tenacity and self-sacrifice. During the issue, Major Bludd revealed to Destro and the Baroness that he hid a transmitter in the handle of Storm Shadow’s sword. They were planning to track where Storm Shadow had gone to try and rescue the Commander. They sent Firefly and a man in red known as “the pilot” (Wild Weasel) to the swamps near the Everglades where the transmitter signal was pinging at a shack. As the issue drew to a close, the Commander…

Background Many people are looking for Scar-Face, the Cobra courier. He slinked away after the Night Attack when he was betrayed by Dr. Venom, a homicidal maniac of a Cobra Scientist who left him to die in the Treasury building (or the Bureau of Engraving and Printing). The Joes are hunting for him as they think he may lead them to other Cobra members. Destro is looking for him because he believes he is integral to Cobra plans. Kwinn is looking for him because he thinks he can get a…

Background This is a continuation of a story arc, specifically carrying over from Issue 12, Three Strikes for Snake-Eyes, and Issue 13, Last Plane From Rio Lindo. If you haven’t read those issues, or my reviews of the issues, I highly suggest you start there before proceeding here. But to each their own! But if you can’t be bothered, read on. Snake-Eyes, the Eskimo Kwinn, and the evil Cobra scientist Dr. Venom walk into a bunker, and, stop me if you’ve heard this one before…Actually a quick recap if you…
