More Canadian Joe Con Exclusives revealed!
In the last issue of the JoeCanuck newsletter, we saw line art for Backstop, and a mysterious, bald black-clad COBRA agent who are slated to be part of the exclusive package available at the upcoming Canadian G.I. Joe Convention. Well, over at JoeCanuck.com more details have emerged, including the “Dead Eye”, Backstop’s personal tank!
Based off the Armadillo, it uses a nicely custom sticker sheet to separate it from the familiar style and has a very unique storyline that ties it in with the rest of the set. A “must have” for any fans going over the border for the May 2nd show! Check out the thread on JoeCanuck here for more details, images are mirrored below. Also, be sure to visit CanadianJoeCon.com for all of the details on the upcoming convention.

More Rise of COBRA Destro figure pics!
cmderinchief has gotten his hands on Destro from the Rise of COBRA toyline, and shared some more pictures! The gallery is below, and discussion threads can be found on JoeBattleLines and Coil Club.
This is not only one of the best movie-era figures I’ve seen yet, this is one of the best representations of Destro in the 3 3/4″ scale that I have ever seen. A remarkably cool looking figure with some very neat accessories. Well done, Hasbro! After seeing fan outcry about COBRA Commander over the last few days, it amazes me at just how “right” Destro came out.
