More Ripcord (Desert Battle) images posted

WildWeasel over on The Terror Drome has gotten his hands on a pre-production version of the upcoming Ripcord (Desert Battle) and posted a ton of images online here.  Of course, I’ve also mirrored the images below.

Sweet Lord this is one awesome looking figure.  My only concern is that he does seem a bit bulky, and it might be tough to move around, but what a cool looking version of Ripcord.  Absolutely bad ass.

EDIT – The Spirit of the WEASEL!

Congratulations on finding the third image!

Weekend Recap – Rise of Cobra Alpha Wave 3 released to retail in the Philippines

lava-pod-polar-sharc-tiger-clawIn a pretty surprising story that has flown amazingly under the radar, the third wave of Alpha vehicles that was initially rumored to be cancelled has arrived at retail in the Philippines according to Terror Drome member FeuerFrei.

Does this mean they are soon to arrive stateside as well?  The latest Hasbro Q & A reported that these vehicles were just delayed, and not in fact cancelled, but if they hit shortly, that would be a lot earlier than everyone thought.

Weekend Recap – More Pursuit of Cobra Zartan images

I’ve heard a lot of comparisons to Raptor, which I guess is sort of accurate, but I think that does a disservice to how cool this figure is as an evolution to Zartan.  He’s got all the right elements, and meshes the two realities very nicely.

Pursuit of Cobra Zartan, Storm Shadow get a closer look by Gyre-Viper

I’m sure we all knew it was coming, and as usual, Gyre-Viper from HissTank comes through with some more detailed images of pre-production samples of the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra Zartan (Desert Battle) and Storm Shadow (Jungle Assault).  Some great shots of Zartan in disguise and very nice close ups.  Excellent pictures, and some excellent looking new toys.  Let’s hope these hit retail sooner rather than later, though indications seem to point to a Fall, 2010 release.  As always, GeneralsJoes is endeavoring to get some more information about this release schedule…
