Just last week, Sideshow Collectibles did a great video feature on their upcoming Storm Shadow 12″ figure, and they continue that trend with a look at the upcoming COBRA Trooper in their very well done “Backstage Pass” video segment.

For many years, G.I. Joe collector Gio Toninelo (originally from Brazil) has been doing his G.I. Joe Stop Motion festival featuring fan-made films using G.I. Joe action figures of all scales. Some of the films featured in the festival have cropped up on YouTube (generally to favorable reviews).
The creator of the festival is soon to bring it on the road to the Alamo Drafthouse in Austin, TX, and has been interviewed by the Austin Decider.
If you’re going to be in the Austin area tonight (April 8th) the show will be on! Meanwhile, check out the festival’s website gijoefest.com and Gio’s personal website pondpatrol.com.
TaoBao seller ilovesw has posted a few new auctions, and among them appears to be an early sample of an upcoming 12″ Crimson Guard. With the recent shift from vintage homages to move themed product, one has to wonder if this item will ever see release.
The auction can be found here, the image is mirrored below.
Thanks to HissCommander from The Terror Drome for the info.

I’ll admit it right up front. I’m not a 12″ afficianado, not by a long shot. I’m a child of the 80’s and my first real introduction to the 12″ scale was with the Hall of Fame figures, which, admittedly is a pretty narrow sampling to pull from. Granted, as Hasbro returned to the 12″ scale with the Real American Hero characters, I double dipped in both scales sporadically, but I’ve still never really explored just what companies do with the 1:6 scale these days. I’ve heard of Dragon, BBI, Hot Toys, and yes, Sideshow, but I’ve never really had a reason to fully explore those options.
Well, now I do. And as an introduction to the 12″ scale, I bit the bullet on the Sideshow Collectibles’ Snake Eyes…and if this is what it’s like in the 12″ world, then man, I’ve been missing a lot. Of course, when my main experience with the 12″ scale involves barely poseable Hall of Fame figures and the questionable Hasbro offerings of the past 6 or 7 years, I guess it’s easy to be impressed.
