News catchup – unitedwell923 eBay auctions and images

I’ll admit I’ve been lagging behind on a few news stories that have come flying through in the past week or so as I finished off some prep work for training and a recent Cisco exam.  Now that it’s all behind me, I’m playing a bit of “catch up” starting with the latest round of auctions from international seller unitedwell923.  The brand-spanking new images are mirrored below, including an interesting repaint of the Rise of COBRA Storm Shadow.  Beyond that, it’s not much that we haven’t seen before, but some very crisp and clear images this time around.

Here’s how IDW describes the issue:

“‘Baroness.’ Using her feminine wiles and deadly styles, the Baroness plans to steal a centuries-old valuable from a billionaire oil sheik. Wild nightlife mixes with dangerous wild life on the Italian Riviera as Cobra¹s deadliest female attempts the heist of the century in this action-wracked tale that leads right into this summer’s movie.”

G.I. Joe Movie Prequel #3 will be 32 pages and will cost $3.99.

Black Sheep Toy Store unleashes more upcoming loose figures

The always dependable Black Sheep Toy Store has posted a handful of auctions for upcoming product, and very cool product at that.  The links are below…I haven’t posted a gallery, because the images are all ones we’ve seen before, but the auction links are below:

Man…these are some awesome looking figures.  I know there’s been a lot of movie bashing going around, but every one of those above toys really kicks ass, in my opinion.  I’m still trying to figure out how I’m going to get my hands on a half dozen of those 3-piece suit Destro figures.  I could find lots of uses for that one.

Thanks to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the intel.

New pictures of mystery female Rise of COBRA figure – Is it Helix?

Cmderinchief of The Coil Club and JoeBattleLines has received a sample of this upcoming female figure that hasn’t yet been confirmed.  While I speculated that it might be Dial Tone a couple of weeks ago, it’s looking much more likely that this is a figure for a new IDW and video game character Helix.  Whomever it is, she definitely as a unique look.  Image gallery is below.
