Displaying figures came to the forefront with the Anniversary line, as Hasbro started including display stands with every figure. Yet, as with the vintage stands, they are static, rectangular, and just never seem to be the right size to fit every display.
Marauder to the rescue, as usual. There was a special premier of these at JoeCon 2009 last weekend, and now they are up for sale at the site itself. These awesome action figure stands feature a very unique interlocking design to basically build a platform of stands that is extremely versatile and infinitely useful. Not only that, but each stand has a peg for the new Anniversary/Star Wars/Rise of COBRA peg holes, but also has a peg for the vintage style as well. Great stuff.
Check out some images mirrored below, and pick up a set of 20 for $12.99 here!
Paul Ernst from Fighting-118th.com has found the Toys “R” Us Exclusive Senior Ranking Officer figures at a local Toys “R” Us, and reports about it on his site here. They retail for $14.99, and look to have some pretty nice repaints in the packs.
Toys “R” Us is coming out with a flood of store exclusives over the next year, including a pair of Senior Ranking Officer 3-packs, one from the COBRA side, one from G.I. Joe. The COBRA side features a very cool Destro repaint that is actually a nice version of how he appears in the console video game. There’s a great Elite-Viper and Neo-Viper as well (though the Neo-Viper is labelled as a Viper Commando for some weird reason).
Anyway, check out the nice post at the COBRA Collection Blog, and I’ve also mirrored a TON of images below. I’m really liking this set!
Over at Hisstank.com, Rulz has gotten his hands on an upcoming Night Adder, and was cool enough to snap some great pics. This is one AWESOME looking figure. Wow. Every time I see images of this figure I get more excited for it, a very neat looking new COBRA character. Check out the thread here, or the images mirrored below.
Toyssir98 has posted some images on HissTank.com of the upcoming Ripcord (Jungle Assault), Toys “R” Us Exclusive Bench Press, and the COBRA Fury w/ Alley-Viper. Check out the images in this thread or mirrored below.
