Okay, some folks will probably think this sounds a bit disingenuous, since I’ve been sort of talking down the convention set this year with the switch to an Anniversary style, but more importantly the apparent lack of new concepts. However, just because I’m a bit disappointed in the convention offering doesn’t mean I’m down on the Convention as a whole. There is much more to the Convention experience than simply the toys being sold there… and yes, even though I’m not wild about the 25th format change, I still think it’s a whole lot of fun to hypothosize what we might be getting for our attende exclusives. Here’s what we know so far:
Gyre-Viper of the HissTank forums has taken some pictures of the upcoming SDCC Exclusive Destro figures and posted them online at HissTank.com. The images show some nice detail, and I especially love the 3-piece suit on James McCullen…it was done exceptionally well. I can’t wait to see what a Tomax and Xamot head look on it, not to mention the potential for future Dr. Venom customs.
Great stuff from Hasbro, especially for an exclusive. I’m going to try like hell to get me some of this!

Phil at JoeReloaded was kind enough to inform us that he has posted a 5-page preview for the upcoming fourth issue of G.I. Joe: Origins on his site. He was even kinder enough to allow us to host the images here as well, so check them out below!
TerrorDrome forum member CADPAT has posted a very nice, intensive review for the upcoming Reactive Armor Duke for the G.I. Joe: The Rise of COBRA toyline. This figure is becoming more and more cemented as a great one every time I see more images of it. The sleek design of the uniform only seems to add to the range of motion and poseability of the figure, which is a very strong selling point for me.
I’ve mirrored a few images below, but there are a lot more at the review, so check out this great review here!
