Real life once again sort of got in the way this weekend, and I didn’t have a chance to comment on too much news, which is a shame because there was a bunch of great stuff in the community this weekend, and perhaps the coolest was Rulz over at HissTank.com, who showed off a recently acquired Desert Battle RAM w/ Sandstorm. This is slated to be a Target Exclusive, and is a very nice looking package, not only for the cool new character in desert camouflage, but also with a desert themed RAM that fits in nicely with those tan repaints of the old school figures of Clutch and Grunt from 1984. It’ll look really nice next to the VAMP Mark II. But what’s really got my attention is this new character Sandstorm, who’s got some nicely weathered Reactive Armor, and great desert camouflage that matches the Toys “R” Us Troop Builder pack perfectly. Love the masked look, too. Good stuff…

With all this new product hitting, seems like old friend of GeneralsJoes “Alexx” has his hands full! This weekend, we’re getting a feature on the Wal-Mart exclusive Outpost Defender w/ Roadblock and Tripwire. Excellent choice. 🙂
Check out the original thread on JBL here, and take a peek at the gallery below as well!
This one definitely tops my list of most wanted from these latest Wal-Mart exclusives. Love the Outpost Defender, and LOVE that Roadblock. Tripwire is a bit sketchy, very obviously using the old Tiger Force paint apps, only done up in the slightly overdone black and silver movie paint scheme, which doesn’t look nearly as good. I guess I don’t really understand…if Roadblock can be done in various shades of brown and green, why not Tripwire? That would give the vintage fans their Tiger Force homage they want, while still getting some neat movie product out there, too. I can understand the desire to use the movie paint scheme, but if Roadblock can be in different, more jungle themed stuff, why not the other figure? It would bring the whole set together a lot more cohesively, and this is coming from someone who normally doesn’t give a crap about old school homages…

Looks like production is ramping up for upcoming Pursuit of Cobra figures, as we have another allotment of images to check out, but of mostly the same figures we’ve seen. Still, these images are even nicer than previous ones and offer some very cool new details.
These figures are…freaking…amazing. Look at all of those accessories! I’m not big on arctic figures, but the way Snow Job’s gear all fits onto his backpack like that? Holy crap. Zartan blends a lot of his classic elements into a very neat Aboriginal style…very nomadic and bad ass, and that disguise looks great. Storm Shadow is another absolute winner. I was getting really damn tired of that character during the Anniversary line, but he just comes to life in new ways with that cool jungle camouflage, that amazing webgear and really neat glider. Not to mention the twin uzi’s. I’m almost speechless. These are some of the finest looking toys to hit G.I. Joe in a very long time. I’m astounded that they can work that level of detail and accessorization into a 3 3/4″ figure, it’s truly fantastic.

As the second wave of Target exclusive mini-vehicles are now trickling into stores, Alexx from JoeBattleLines has posted another one of his great “Shorts”, this time focusing on the updated Cobra Rocket Pack with Air-Viper. I actually like this rocket pack quite a bit, and the crimson Strato-Viper is a lot more appealing than I thought he was from original images. I think the Serpent Armor is still the only one I’m really dying for in that assortment, but this one is pretty cool, too.

Thanks to the guys at The Terror Drome for pointing out that some more images have been revealed for upcoming Pursuit of Cobra single pack figures on the horizon. Yes, I know that they may not necessarily be called “Pursuit of Cobra” when they’re released, but for simplicity sake, I’m still calling them that for now.
Read the full story here, or just check out the mirrored images below. Pretty cool glimpses of these figures, including some nice shots with the gear removed. Damn, I’m looking forward to these!

The Terror Drome has revealed some images of the upcoming Pursuit of Cobra Desert Battle Ripcord, complete with awesome flightpack and assorted gear. I cannot tell you how fired up I am for these toys to start hitting. I’m enjoying the Rise of Cobra, but recent releases have been rife with repaints, retools, and minor cosmetic adjustments…I’m ready for some full bore new stuff, and the Pursuit of Cobra is right up my alley.
Sign me up.
