SNAKE EYES from HissTank reports that he has found some clearer and somewhat larger pictures of four upcoming Rise of COBRA figures. The figures are as follows, with images below:
- Desert-Viper
- Storm Shadow (Arctic Threat)
- Duke (City Assault)
- Ripcord (Jungle Assault)
Still not crazy about Storm Shadow…the larger pictures make me feel a lot better about Duke and Ripcord, though. I really like the camo pattern on Duke’s legs and Ripcord just looks awesome all around. Check ’em out for yourself:
no images were found
Duke…has a sword? Arrooo?
Really like that Ripcord though, me thinks I’ll rename him as Stalker.
I’m happy that snake eyes found these, the ones I had from earlier this week were all blurry! Awesome find, and I can’t wait to add these to my collection!
stormy: pass
duke: likely pass
rip: probably pick him up
desert viper: probably will get him too
A quick head swap on that Ripcord, and I have a new Cross Hair.
I see what they were going for with that Storm Shadow, but I’m just not wild about it, either. I’ll have to wait until I see it in person to decide.
I still can’t tell whether this Duke is a straight repaint of the Reactive Armour version or if he has new legs.
Either way, I may just wait and get with one instead.
Ripcord is pretty boss, and a good fit to go with Desert Duke (although this one has different camo.)
Desert-Viper is a definate buy.
Storm Shadow gets a “Participant” trophy for coming out and trying real hard, but being not very good anyways. Reusing the Paris Snake-Eyes jacket is a cool idea, as is homaging Joe Stormy… But those camo elements are a chunky chunky mess.
