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!

Not real crazy about the lack of hair on his head but seeing as how he’ll be wearing the beret all the time I can get past that.
The exclusive sweater is a GREAT item that will accent the figure without taking something vital away from the regular release, much like Beachhead’s unmasked portrait. Its a great compliment to Beachhead AND a nice tie to the O13. I might display him with the sweater instead of the shirt just because of that.
Count me in for the exclusive.
Wow. I love it. Glad I don’t collect these… *sniff*
its actually not that bad…………..wait, is this the real 788?
WOW!
I really like the character and it’s a great figure.
You should fire your web guy. Those links aren’t working.
Torn on whether to get the exclusive or not; I mean, getting Stalker is a no-brainer, and the price is the same. For me it’s a question of ordering from Sideshow or from my friendly local comic book shop, that won’t do the exclusive.
I could get him cheaper than Sideshows price from my LCS or through BBTS but they can’t get the exclusives. So I’ll be ordering from Sideshow.
Very nice! Reminds me a little of Keith David–which is not a bad thing. Love the old SMG and laser rifle alongside the more modern rifle. You know, if Hasbro wanted to follow the lead of POC 4 Snake Eyes and do more Sideshow influenced 3 3/4″ guys, I would not at all complain. 🙂
Still wondering when we’re going to get one of the females, though.
Dragonfly – they are working on a new female body and mentioned it in the last round of Q&A answers. They aren’t ready with it yet but are getting closer. The Joe ladies are high on their list of figures to crank out with the new body.
Makes me wish I had gotten this series from the start. Right down to the eyes and facial expressions. These kick the corn out of my o-ring Joes.
That Lonzo Wilkinson is one bad mutha…Shut yo’ mouth! Hey, I’m just talkin ’bout Stalker!
Releases like this are why I sometimes buy lottery tickets. That is simply awesome.
Absolutely-Positively LOVE IT!!! IT’S WAY OVERDUE!!! IMHO ‘Stalker’ should have been made before ‘Beachhead’, since he’s the Joe’s original Airborne Ranger.
I love it! Such a great looking Figure!
