A couple of days ago when we saw the little sneak peek of the upcoming Stalker from the Sideshow Collectibles line, we could only think of what the final result would be and what sorts of exclusive might be offered.
Well, the Sideshow Production Blog went live today, and revealed the upcoming 12″ Stalker in all of his tiger stripe camouflage glory! Turns out the exclusive is a knit sweater with camouflage patches. I’ve seen some folks who weren’t all that excited about it, but I think it’s an awesome addition and will really tie Stalker and Beachhead nicely together as the G.I. Joe “Snake Eaters”.
I’ve mirrored a few images below, but the rest of the fantastic pictures can be found on the Sideshow Collectibles Production Blog. Yo Joe!
Single-handedly assisting me with Sideshow Collectibles review, faithful GeneralsJoes contributor Mysterious Stranger as come through with another great review, this time for the very nice, ornate 12″ scale Cobra Throne!
Check out the great review right here. A huge thanks to Mysterious Stranger for chipping in.
Well, Toy Fair is less than a month away, and suddenly a new test shot has emerged, courtesy of ACToys.net.
Now, when I saw the listing for Previews last night, I was scratching my head a bit over the whole “Jungle B.A.T.” idea. Part of me hoped maybe there was some cool new hyper-detailed PoC themed android sculpting involved, but it certainly doesn’t look that way. Just looks like a B.A.T. in a camouflaged uniform. Is that good or bad? Enh, I dunno.
Personally, my G.I. Joe universe is much more about Cobra’s human operatives than their mechanical ones, so this holds little significance for me, but I suppose there are folks out there who will be digging it. We’ll see. I do like the paint scheme of the jungle camouflage, I think it looks really cool, and would look great on a more standard military figure, I’m just not sure it fits on Cobra’s robotic soldiers.
Thanks to The Terror Drome for the heads up.
Last year (it seems so long ago) a member of The Terror Dromes editorial staff got a chance to catch up with Henry Gilroy at the San Diego ComicCon. Well, it just turns out that Mr. Gilroy is one of the lead writers of G.I. Joe: Renegades, and he was kind enough to offer himself up to answer questions.
The Terror Drome was equally kind and gave me a chance to put my own .02 in, and below is the outcome of this interview. You will see questions that were posed by members of the Terror Drome forums as well as my own questions near the end of the interview.
It’s a pretty long, detailed, and wide-ranging conversation about G.I. Joe: Renegades! Check it out after the jump, and a humongous thanks to the great guys at The Terror Drome for letting me be included in this great opportunity. (more…)
Well, it’s another depressing “Renegades-less” Friday, but all is not lost! Even though there’s no new episode on tonight, we do get a promo for next week, entitled “Busted”. Duke is in prison and the other Joes try to rescue him while he tries to take down the Warden.
Check out the embedded video below.
Given all the Easter Eggs we’ve seen so far, will Mutt make an appearance? Law and Order? Guess we’ll find out next Friday.
