Sources from within SDCC have reported to JoeBattleLines and GeneralsJoes that there is some great new product being prepped behind the scenes to be displayed in the Hasbro booth at ComicCon! The biggest and best news is the following:
– A Desert-Themed 5-Pack that appears to include:
- Zartan (possibly)
- Law & Order
- Dial Tone (Female)
- Repeater
- Footloose
Other new product has been revealed as the very popular “Battle Stations” from back in the vintage days. Some details are fuzzy, but the following battle stations were visible:
- Surveillance Port (with movie themed Tele-Viper)
- LAW (that appears to come with Tripwire)
- MMS in the crimson “SMS” color scheme (that appears to come with Scrap Iron)
- Outpost Defender (that appears to come with Roadblock…a Roadblock with the Resolute head sculpt!)
Other items, most of which we’ve seen already, included:
- Target Exclusive RHINO w/ Rampage
- “Then and Now” Rockslide 2-Pack with Snow Job
- “Attack on the Pit” 5-Pack
- Senior Ranking Officer 3-Packs (Stone, Grunt, Speed Metal; Destro, Elite-Viper , Neo-Viper)
- Target “Rescue Mission” 4-Pack
- Lava Pod w/ Volcano Viper
- Tiger Claw w/ Leatherneck (in green!)
- Rockslide w/ Dusty
- Dragonhawk w/ Wild Bill
Other mysterious items were floating around as well, like an apparent repaint or variant of “The Doctor” in a white labcoat.
Keep in mind this information is all second hand with no image verification as of yet, but it at least gives us something to go by as we wait for the big reveal on Thursday!
I wonder if that Tele-Viper is the Python Patrol one Unitedwell923 had on his ebay page awhile ago.
No, it’s not. It was described as a black and red Tele-Viper head on what looked to almost be a MARS Trooper body. Definitely not the Python Patrol.
That sucks, I wonder if we will ever see that PP Tele-Viper released 🙁
Dude! They’re not even finished setting up and you’ve already gotten news reports?
“- A Desert-Themed 5-Pack that appears to include:
* Zartan (possibly)
* Law & Order
* Dial Tone (Female)
* Repeater
* Footloose”
Sounds cool; I wonder if they are going to have the same desert camo scheme as the K-Mart 4 pack.
And if the new Dusty is in the same…

“# Lava Pod w/ Volcano Viper
# Tiger Claw w/ Leatherneck (in green!)
# Rockslide w/ Dusty”
This would be the first time we’d be seeing painted versions of these, right?

The Battle Stations sound kinda enticing, but another Tripwire release? Nonplussed by that.
A Resolute Roadblock head, on the other, is a definite deal maker. Even if it’s on the standard 25A Roadblock body.
Extra Televipers will always be handy.
Will the Scrap Iron have the Single Carded take on the tooling?
it’s Zartan. says so on the box.
Hisstank has pics of these things up, already.
