Infinite Hollywood has been posting some great reviews of G.I. Joe toys amongst other things over the past few months, and just put up a review for the recently released 12″ Rise of Cobra Destro figure by Hasbro. In fact, this is the only version of a movie accurate suited Destro you’ll see on mass retail shelves. I’m pretty surprised at how nice this figure really is. The 12″ scale isn’t usually my bag, and the Rise of Cobra toys hadn’t changed my mind to this point, but Destro actually looks pretty neat. I’ve got the SDCC Baroness, so I might have to snag this guy to go alongside her if I see it at retail. Pretty cool. Check out the review here.

In conjunction with Sideshow’s “Spooktacular” event, GeneralsJoes was honored to be able to work with them to give away a free 12″ Cobra Commander from their amazing G.I. Joe toyline. The requirements were simple… just do up a custom of a G.I. Joe or Cobra character in a Halloween theme. But knowing that I alone wasn’t the customizing expert I used to be, I also enlisted the aid of JoeCustoms.com and a hand-picked group of their customizing gurus served as judges to pick the entry that best exemplified what we wanted to see.
There were a number of entries, which I’ve mirrored below:

I haven’t really been a fan of recent 12″ Hasbro figures, but the Rise of Cobra ones are actually drawing me in, if only a little bit. I’ve seen Snake Eyes, Storm Shadow, Duke, Cobra Commander, and Ripcord, and they all have some sort of limited appeal which I cannot really describe. They still have the silly, scrawny body types, sculpted uniforms, and general goofiness, but for whatever reason, I still think they’re kind of neat. Not nearly neat enough to drop $16 on ’em, of course.
Regardless, for those folks who are into them, apparently the latest wave has started hitting retail according jroosa030 on HissTank. He just scored the Destro and General Hawk, and I’ve mirrored images below. I think both of these figures look pretty neat and fit into the RoC aesthetic remarkably well. I dig ’em.
