Love that Zartan disguise…it works exceptionally well!
A mysterious countdown clock appeared on Sideshow’s website not too long ago, promising to reveal an exciting upcoming figure, and today they’ve delivered! Though it’s just a glimpse, they’ve posted a pretty cool image of the upcoming 12″ Firefly right here!
With the trademark urban camouflage, and a very cool modern twist, I think this is a figure folks have been waiting for… pre-orders are advertised for November 30th, check out the mirrored image below…
EDIT: Just got the update direct from Sideshow as well! A full blown rock and roll Firefly gallery has been posted right here! Holy CRAP. What a gorgeous looking figure…
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.

Goldbug over on The Terror Drome reports that K-Mart is having a “Buy One Get One Free” sale on all of their G.I. Joe 3 3/4″ figures this week. I’ve heard mixed reports about figure assortments at K-Mart across the country, but it’s worth a shot. I know mine only has a scattering of Waves 1 & 2, but I’ll keep checking back in hopes that they get some better figures at this great price. Check out the advertisement below.
Another nice post over on HissTank.com reveals some great images of the soon to be released third wave of Alpha scale vehicles, slated to hit in early 2010, according to the latest Hasbro Q & A. Some very nice pictures of all vehicles and vehicle drivers. Not really wild about any of the three vehicles, but Volcano Viper is insane! The new Dusty is pretty freaking great, too, but Leatherneck leaves me a bit “bleh”. Still cool to see the images, though.

Alongside the Desert Battle RAM w/ Sandstorm, Rulz has also posted via HissTank.com some great pictures of the COBRA Twin Battle Gun w/ Range-Viper, another release in that same boxed set assortment that, honestly, blows away anything we’ve gotten so far, in my opinion. LOVE that RAM w/ Sandstorm, and I’m quickly falling for this Twin Battle Gun w/ Range-Viper as well. The Range-Viper base figure in the COBRA Island boxed set was fantastic, and in this new, more subdued paint scheme, he is even better. Very cool stuff.
