WildWeasel over on The Terror Drome has gotten his hands on a pre-production version of the upcoming Ripcord (Desert Battle) and posted a ton of images online here. Of course, I’ve also mirrored the images below.
Sweet Lord this is one awesome looking figure. My only concern is that he does seem a bit bulky, and it might be tough to move around, but what a cool looking version of Ripcord. Absolutely bad ass.

EDIT – The Spirit of the WEASEL!
Congratulations on finding the third image!

My loss is your gain… I’ve been making a habit of helping out Mike and the JoeCanuck guys with images for their trading card sets, but apparently I just got fired. :shifty:
In all seriousness, the guys behind the Canadian JoeCon have started a trading card contest, where you may get the chance to have your image appear on one of their cool as all get-out limited edition trading cards. Not only that, but there are some great prizes as well! Click the “Read the Rest of this Story” link below for the nitty gritty. The full announcement can also be found on JoeCanuck.com.

In a pretty surprising story that has flown amazingly under the radar, the third wave of Alpha vehicles that was initially rumored to be cancelled has arrived at retail in the Philippines according to Terror Drome member FeuerFrei.
Does this mean they are soon to arrive stateside as well? The latest Hasbro Q & A reported that these vehicles were just delayed, and not in fact cancelled, but if they hit shortly, that would be a lot earlier than everyone thought.
