We’ve all seen the Wal-Mart product listing, and we’ve heard the rumors, and even seen the bootleg images, but for the first time, actually pictures of the carded 2-packs coming for Wal-Mart have emerged on HissTank.com.
The fans were very concerned about upcoming movie product, as they were worried it would push aside their beloved vintage homages, but it would appear at least some of those fears were unfounded. Between the upcoming Armored Panther w/ Thunder, the RHINO w/ Rampage, the vehicle packs, and the 7-Packs, it would appear even the most ardant vintage fans will have plenty of product to choose from. These 2-packs are offering even more nice items with some great looking Night Force homages as well as a Resolute Gung Ho.
Check out the images mirrored below.

Wow, Black Sheep Toy Store is in the news today! This time, actually offering something up for auction instead of just being a source for pictures. The latest loose offering from Black Sheep is the upcoming Duke with Reactive Armor. Maybe I’m alone in this, but I actually really love this look. Yeah, I like variety as much as the next guy, but as a fan of Sigma 6, I’ve got an affinity for this funky power suit appearence, and this version of Duke looks pretty damn cool. They managed to take an all black body suit and still make it visually appealing. I’m definitely not going to be buying all of the movie stuff, not by a long shot. But I’ll at least get the familiar cast of characters, and I’m looking forward to stocking my display shelves with these movie figures in their familiar on-screen look.

While the auction isn’t online yet, HissTank.com reports that the Black Sheep Toy Store has supplied pictures of what appears to be an upcoming Rise of COBRA Destro figure, based strongly on how the character appears on screen. Decked out in a nice three-piece suit, and a very Chris Ecclestein like appearence, this is definitely a Destro pulled right from the silver screen. The rumored report from HissTank is that this is a San Diego ComicCon exclusive, but as always, we need to wait for Hasbro confirmation before saying that for sure. Images are mirrored below, courtosy of HissTank.com.

Everyone keep their eyes on the Black Sheep Toy Store on eBay, as it would appear some more new items may be en route to being listed there. HissTank.com came across some new images (or at least larger and clearer images) of various upcoming figures, which usually means they are about to appear up for auction. Many of these pictures have been posted before, but these are much larger versions, so I’m repeating some of them, while getting stuff like Destro up for the first time. Also get some nice pictures of an upcoming Lamprey repaint, that seems almost based on the Python Patrol version from Toys “R” Us back in the day. A very cool look.
God I love that Destro figure. If we don’t see that released somewhere, some how, I may just storm Pawtucket with torches and pitchforks.

Some scattered auctions on TaoBao have revealed some mysterious new test shots of potential upcoming or existing figures that are a bit of a head-scratcher. There are a couple of straight forward ones, like the Rise of COBRA Destro, various Storm Shadows, etc.. but we appear to have a brand new Flash or Grand Slam (with different lower legs) and a bizarre ninja-amalgamation of Storm Shadow parts and other randomness.
Check out the auctions here, and check out the gallery below. Thanks to HissCommander of the TerrorDrome for the info!
