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.

IDW has posted a nice preview of the soon to be released ninth issue of G.I. Joe: Origins. Crisply written by Larry Hama, this has been a great origin story behind the formation of this new generation G.I. Joe special ops team. Check out the two covers and the preview below!

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…

Yeesh…again with the bad timing. This crazy mail server project at work as kept me hopping during the day and during the night time hours. Apologies for the spotty updates to my Q & A page, but the links should now all be accurate for everything that’s been dug up so far. A big thanks to The Terror Drome for their helpful archive as well!
I did get the answer to my third question as well, which you can read here.
Thanks for sticking with it! This server is almost done, then hopefully things can get back to a sense of normalcy again.
