Yes, you read correctly…in my mind, this is one of the best Sideshow Collectibles figures that has been produced…how do they possibly still have some in stock?!
I don’t know, but if you’re on the fence, you may want to pick it up while you can and avoid the Wait List. Click the banner below to add to your 12″ army!
While you’re at it, the 12″ General Hawk figure is also still available and in stock now! Hit up the banner below to grab that one.
These figures have been selling out fast, I’m amazed that these two (which are both very cool looking figures) are still in stock! Jump on them while you have the chance. While you’re at it, think about the woodland Ninja Viper figure as well. Originally an SDCC Exclusive, you can pick this up right now directly from the Sideshow Collectibles store.
This concludes the pimp post of the day.

The moment many fans have been waiting for! The Big Bad Toy Store exclusive Dreadnoks and Slaughter Marauder 7-Packs are in stock now! Using some existing tooling, but also a heck of a lot of new tooling, these great new 7-packs give Joe fans a lot of the classic characters they’ve been waiting for, and still some new twists.
I’ve been lucky enough to have these in hand for a while now, and they are worth every penny. Check out the links below to BUY EM UP!
If you want to educate yourself on the merits of the figures before plunking down the change, I’ve reviewed them both on my 30th Anniversary Review Page as well!

I figure there are lots of folks probably doing the whole “Best of” lists for 2011 (myself included eventually!) so I figured I’d take a somewhat different approach. Rather than considering only the “best” or “worst” I figured I’d take a look at significance. And because I’m wishy washy, I couldn’t narrow it down to just 10, I had to sneak an 11th in there just for discussion purposes.

Well, they’re at it again. Ross, the bane of my collectors’ existence has once again scored a coup, this time with the previously released only in Canada Wave 3 of the Rise of Cobra Alpha vehicles. This wave contains the Polar Shark Sub w/ Ice Storm, the Desert Rockslide w/ Dusty, the Tiger Claw ATV w/ Leatherneck, and the Lavapod w/ Volcano Viper.
Now, I’ve been able to get these, so really, I’m not feeling too wounded, but every time I hear about Ross getting these cool tail enders, I just get reminded how the nearest store is like 350 miles away. The vehicles are retailing for about $8.99 apiece, just to twist that knife a bit deeper.
Thanks to GeneralsJoes regular Nas for the info, with confirmation pics at HissTank.com. If you have a Ross near you, GO GET ‘EM.

Well, it looks like things have changed a little bit since Toy Fair, and mostly for the better. Site sponsors Big Bad Toy Store and Past Generation Toys have posted some new press images for the upcoming 3rd wave of 2011 Pursuit of Cobra figures, and there is a very interesting alteration:
no images were found
While most of the subtle coloring differences are mostly a result of Photoshop, one look at Cobra Commander tells us that his legs are being reused from the previous version instead of the classic Cobra Commander look. I think it’s a big improvement. It will be interesting to see what the final result looks like.
Thanks to The Terror Drome for the info.

So, having a lull in product means I jump in my way back machine! This time around, I’m reviewing the G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra Skysweeper Jet w/ Air Raid. A Firebat repaint and retool, this little plane packs a big punch.
Check out the review on my Rise of Cobra Review Page, or just click here.
Stay tuned, because I’ll be doing quite a few more “old school” reviews over the next little while as we wait for more new product to hit.
