Unleashed is a series of plastic statues featuring Star Wars characters. The line's being going on for a few years, but has really only picked up steam within the last year or so.

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">If you're planning a 6" Snake Eyes custom, I can't think of a better Marvel Legend base... he's got a good build and the weapons are definitely a plus.

i'm not sure which would make him the batter base figure:

A storm shadow or snake eyes?

We're sooner going to see Unleashed-style GI Joe figures, I think.

At the Joe convention this past July in Orlando, Hasbro reps already had a Storm Shadow Unleashed figure on display at the roundtable discussion with fans... no photography was allowed. [img]frown.gif[/img]

I don't know the timetable for the Unleashed releases, but odds are we'll see those before a regular 6" line.

Just wish Hasbro would throw old skool Joe fans a bone and put out a line of Joes similar to the Vintage Star Wars stuff out now, where "old" characters are produced with modern sculpting and articulation... y'know, without the $10 price tag. [img]tongue.gif[/img]

While it's true that you could use Deadpool to start a Storm Shadow, I'd personally go with Snake Eyes, since he would require very minor tweaks.

[d2eux]

ok, thanks. So, about the joe unleashed figs;

IF they were to be put into production theyd have no POA correct?

[White Line Nightmare]

Yeah, that's correct.

Hasbro focuses on the sculpt and detail rather than adding articulation. They're also in a larger, 6"-7" scale, pre-posed and in a diorama, of sorts.

They're actually really cool... have a few of the Star Wars Unleashed, and they're nice, inexpensive statues. I don't really plan on having a huge collection of them, since my money primarily goes into figures, but they're neat little collectibles nonetheless.
