Cmderinchief has posted a nice mini-review with an assortment of pictures over on JoeBattleLines.com. Deep Six is a Torpedo repaint with some pretty nifty urban camouflage. Not sure if it’s worth a purchase, but it is a pretty neat looking figure, especially for just a straight up repaint.

Once again an overseas eBayer has debuted some new images of potential upcoming product for the Rise of COBRA toyline. All of this is unconfirmed and can only be considered rumor at this point, but among the images shown were:
I’d say this is a clear indication that we will see Resolute Snake Eyes in at least some form during the movie line…but I have to admit, the head sculpt is one of my favorite parts about the figure…I really hope we don’t lose that in the process. The rest of this stuff has been seen in some form or function before, but with the paint apps, I am absolutely loving that battle damaged Storm Shadow. Loving it. I have no idea what’s up with those big ass metallic gauntlets, but the figure is cool, just the same. Hasbro continues to really raise the bar, and take some potentially limited designs and ramp them up into very nice looking toys. I’m really looking forward to building the “core team” of movie-accurate Joes and COBRA’s, and even random stuff like the battle damaged Stormy is very appealing. Images are mirrored below, courtesy of the guys at The Terror Drome.

I think I’ve gotten the last of the scattered Q & A sessions together, and updated the Q & A Page accordingly. The last entry was for Raving Toy Maniac. As always, if you see anything out and about there that I’ve somehow missed, please let me know!
There’s still a ways to go before the movie hits full steam, but more and more merchandise is showing up in odd locations. This time around, it’s an official calendar and button set from Pyramid International. Some pretty interesting items, and a sure sign of the onslaught of stuff we’re likely to see in the next 6 months! Check out the images below.
Thanks to Jeff Bohn for the information.
Werecat from JoeSightings.com, who I’ve posted a Scarlett review from has posted another review, this time from the Rise of COBRA Cover Girl. Some nice images and a nice write up, to boot. Check out the review here, and the images mirrored below.

Some HissTank forum members, General Hawk59 and Steel Brigade have posted some new reviews of upcoming product (or potentially items that will not end up seeing release). There are a ton of images and some nice detailed writing about each of these items.
The Night Raven review can be found here, and I’ve mirrored a couple of pictures below…a lot more are posted at the previous link. Red Star and Scrap Iron are posted here, also with a small sample of images below. Red Star and Scrap Iron were slated for future single pack release, but got canned before they hit…will these updated versions appear somewhere down the line? No one knows for sure… one thing I do know is that they both feature a very nice set of changes that make them unique from their previous counterparts, and very reminiscent of the vintage versions as well.
