Ever since we saw the RHINO repaint at a Takara show a while ago, many U.S. based fans wondered how we might get our hands on it, especially considering that it comes with Rampage, an apparent homage to the Heavy Metal repaint from back in the day (who happens to look exactly like Heavy Metal).
Well, according to two separate sources, kennywr22 from HissTank.com and long time YoJoe veteran John Missal, Target’s latest insider magazine “RED” has reported that the RHINO repaint w/ Rampage will indeed be a Target exclusive.
Apparently price point and release date were not announced, but this at least gives us something to go by.

Somewhat under the radar, the G.I. Joe themed Monopoly game was released last week, and over at HissTank, Fast_Draw provides a neat, concise review of the game. There are some interesting optional rules additions to work with the Joe theme as well, which is pretty cool.

Over on HissTank.com, a member has posted some images of pre-production items, including something I haven’t seen before…maybe I’m just out of the loop, though.
Anyone seen this? Looks like some type of minisub, probably something COBRA or G.I. Joe uses in the underwater battle we’ve seen and heard so much about…

Regardless of where it’s slated to appear, it looks pretty bad ass.

Huge props to JoeCustoms member, DreamsJoes admin, and friend of GeneralsJoes, Dream for hooking me up with some great images of the so-far unreleased Resolute version of Scarlett! Included in these pics are some awesome comparison images of Scarlett and Helix. A lot of folks knew that they both shared the same legs, but what we didn’t know is that there were some subtle scale and size differences between the two.
Check out all of the awesome images below, and thanks again to Dream for hooking us up!
