A few different interesting 12″ pieces of news today… first of all, the Terror Drome is reporting about some images of a 12″ Stalker and Gung Ho that are very military in nature and really don’t seem to fit into the whole movie aesthetic. Are they figures that were slated for release in the normal line before the Rise of COBRA infusion, or are they still to come? Gung Ho could almost pass for his Resolute/video game version, so that’s something to watch for.
Check out the images below:

Also discovered by The Terror Drome is Entertainment Earth’s pre-order listing for the first wave of Rise of COBRA 12″ figures, including COBRA Commander. This is the first time ole’ toasty’s been seen in twelve inch form:
I am willing to defend the 3 3/4″ movie Cobra Commander, but that 12 incher looks absolutely awful.
It’s a shame Hasbro has abandoned the super-articulated bodies for these molded uniform nightmares. That reuse of Coil Crusher with an old Snake Eyes mask is just pathetic. Makes my spending decisions much easier!
Stalker and Gung Ho are indeed clearly leftovers from the recent 12″ series; they have the same texture on the torsos, and the same twiggy arms.
I don’t care what they’re calling that figure and character in the movie. That is NOT Cobra Commander.
