More upcoming product images have been showcased on ACToys.net. The Wal-Mart 2 packs feature Gung Ho vs. Copperhead, Shockblast vs. Night Creeper, and Tunnel Rat vs. Monkeywrench. I love that Hasbro is using the Night Force color scheme on these…very cool. I won’t complain a bit about the Resolute themed Gung Ho either…not to mention that cool as hell Night Creeper. Images are mirrored below!

Canadian television station “Space” visited the Canadian JoeCon in Hamilton last weekend, and has put the clip online! Featuring many “friends of GeneralsJoes” throughout and even interviewing some of them, the feature does a nice overview of the current state of the fandom as the movie release looms three short months away. Get some great shots of the sales floor, some interesting insight, and hear the weakest “Yo Joe” I’ve ever heard in my life… :shifty:
Seriously, check out the clip here!

Fans of the Sigma 6 style of action figures looked upon the Action Battlers with particular scrutiny, hoping that just maybe they might somehow integrate into the Sigma 6 universe. Alas, that is not the case, but the exaggerated animated style is still somewhat of an appeal. GeneralsJoes contributor Jeff Bohn got his hands on an early sample of the Action Battler Storm Shadow and shares some nice images with us.

Eagle-eyed watchers of TaoBao have picked up on a mysterious new uncolored test shot which bears a striking resemblance to the upcoming Ice-Viper, yet has some differences, including a new head sculpt and vest. At this point it’s unknown exactly what the origin of this item is or where we might see it, but it’s a pretty cool thing to check out, nonetheless.

Over at HissTank.com as well as via samsallspark at The Terror Drome, images have popped up of a Wild Bill figure we’ve seen before, but this time around, he looks to come complete with a nicely detailed updated Dragonfly helicopter! There isn’t a whole lot to see at the moment, but what I can see looks pretty bad ass. Just as I’ve been hypothosizing for a long time, Hasbro seems to be taking queues from recent vehicle design like the RHINO and the 2.5″ Sigma 6 stuff and is working it into some nasty looking Joescale vehicles. I really like this one a lot. Image is below.

Customizer and seller extraordinaire, Alyosha of Broken Arrow Toys has posted a very nice review of the upcoming Resolute Snake Eyes, with a bunch of nice images in this thread on HissTank. He has also graciously allowed me to host the images here on GeneralsJoes, so you can see those images below!
This figure looks GREAT. If he doesn’t end up getting released, it should be a national day of mourning among the G.I. Joe community…

Forgive me if this is old news, I’m starting to lose track with all of these upcoming items flying in all directions… I believe Black Sheep Toy Store on eBay has posted a pair of new items, Resolute Baroness and the upcoming Alley-Viper from the Defense of COBRA Island 7-Pack. The Buy it Now prices have gone up to $29.99, but the images are still of great quality, so you should definitely check out the store.
The fact that he has more than 10 available for the Resolute Baroness makes me feel a bit better about the possibility of seeing some of these figures down the road, but time will tell. Check out the images mirrored below.
