Friend of GeneralsJoes and staffmember at JoeBattleLines madmac41 has stumbled upon a full assortment of the new Wal-Mart Exclusive Battle Stations at his local Wal-Mart in Indiana! Looks like these are starting to hit, so get your hunting caps on… image proof is hosted below!
Scott also tells us that they are packed one per case and retail for $14.96 apiece. Thanks a ton to Scott for all the information!
What a difference some color makes… the initial Rise of Cobra version of Cobra Commander got universal disdain (though personally I thought it was a pretty cool, revolutionary new design) got this new, mail order version is getting pretty wide praise. And honestly, it freaking deserves it. Regardless of how much it does or doesn’t resemble Cobra Commander, that is one bad ass looking figure. The vac metallized mask, the chrome red torso…the staff, weapons, and nasty looking miniature HISS sentry? Hot damn that’s a cool looking figure.
It takes a lot to make me like Cobra Commander…there’s been so much ridiculous redundancy with this character over the past several years, seeing something new and cool is a very good thing in my book. Check out the mirrored images below. Holy crap it’s awesome. How cool will it look alongside the Crimson Neo-Vipers? The packaging is sick, too…

The guys over at The Terror Drome have dug up a very nice image of the upcoming Toys “R” Us Exclusive Pursuit of Cobra Doc and Shipwreck (Arctic Threat) figures. It’s assumed these two figures will be part of the third wave of Toys “R” Us exclusive “Headquarters for Heroes” assortments. Check out the images mirrored below.

Love that Doc. Really colorful, but also has the familiarly colored pants that kind of bring it back to the vintage look at least a little bit. I dig it.
So the deadline for the Sideshow Collectibles Spooktacular custom contest has come and gone, and we have a bunch of great entries to begin judging! An esteemed group of judges from JoeCustoms.com (and myself, of course) will begin the judging process immediately, but until we pick a winner, check out the entries at the JoeCustoms Spooktacular page, and also mirrored below.
Thanks a TON for all of the fantastic Halloween themed entries. It’s going to be tough judging these.

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen kicked off the whole Augmented Reality gimmick on it’s Blu Ray disc, overing kids, fans, and adults with an affinity for large robots the chance to interact directly with the Transformers characters. All you need is a PC with a webcam, a brand new copy of the Blu-Ray disc, and some time to waste.
Well, as first reported by Paramount, and now covered more in depth by IGN.com, G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA (which hits Blu Ray and DVD Tuesday, November 3rd) also features the Augmented Reality gimmick, this time offering up a chance for you to play a cool interactive fighting came featuring Snake Eyes and some of COBRA’s most sinister members. Check out the article on IGN.com for more information, and be sure to pick up your copy on DVD or Blu-Ray this Tuesday!
