eBay seller, the Black Sheep Toy Store has posted a number of new carded auctions for upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure product. New items include:
He still has a score of older auctions up in his eBay store as well.
The ever vigilant cmderinchief from JoeBattleLines and the Coil Club has provided us with some new images of the Wave 1 Storm Shadow with some nice detail pics included. He also posted a little mini-review:
“I am not much of a SS fan, I admit it. He, along with Duke, CC, and especially SE have been rammed down our throats and like a bunch of lemmings, we keep buying them over-and-over-and-over again. BUT, our favorite Japanese…..er, I mean Korean character is different….in more ways than just his country of origin. I know there is some dislike for the movie figures, but I gotta tell you, this figure injects some hipness back to the character who has long been pretty darn boring. I mean, let’s face it, how can you reinvent a ninja. Most of what you see if not an over the top change, the changes are subtle and improve upon the original concept. Most, if not all, of the tooling on this figure is new. Some of the finer details include the clan’s symbol on the handles of the katanas. The katanas themselves have thicker handles so no more swords falling out the grip. The major downside of this figure is the backpack. It is NOT removable.
This one is all right. The movie toys are winning me over.”

Joe film, especially compared to the smaller stuff that Tatum has worked with in the past:

The plot thickens…
Recently a few images of a mysterious chrome plated HISS Tank had sprouted up on ACToys.net. Initially thought to be a custom, we now have another image posted which would certainly seem to indicate these are at least at some level of production.
Granted, these could still be customs, just somehow produced on a larger scale… just seems interesting. Time will tell. Check out the thread here. Thanks as usual to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the heads up.
