The G.I. Joe Collectors’ Club is running a big time clearence sale trying to ship out some of their overstock and some of these prices are INSANE. We’re talking full assortments of Anniversary figures for $3.00 per figure, formerly rare GIJCC Exclusives for bargain basement prices… lots and LOTS of great deals to be had, especially for folks who are Officer level members!
Check out the “clearence aisle” here!

I’ve always wanted to use the word “plethora”… :shifty:
Over the past 24 hours, new images of Rise of COBRA figures have started popping up all over the ‘net. The more I see these movie figures, the more I’m starting to fall in love with them. Check out the following links for some new images that you might enjoy:
Sgt. Stone is quickly becoming one of my favorite new figures…he makes a much better Flint figure than Flint does! Thanks to HissCommander of The Terror Drome, kingsurly crab and jumper11 from HissTank.com!

Coincidentally enough, this was originally reported on April 1st, so fearing an April Fools’ Day prank, nobody really reported it as an accurate story, but proof seems to have come out confirming that HissTank forum member slowrey has stumbled upon Snake Eyes and Storm Shadow from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line at a local Wal-Mart in Maine, of all places.
Take the news with a grain of salt, and keep in mind this is more likely a mistake than a trend, but apparently, at least two Rise of COBRA action figures have hit the states in mass retail. Whether more will start trickling out is anyone’s guess, but official “street date” isn’t until July. However, this board member has supplied HissTank with photos of the receipt and the two figures in question.
We’ll keep you posted.

Cmderinchief from JoeBattlelines and the Coil Club has posted some images of the recently revealed “Sgt. Stone” figure from the upcoming Rise of COBRA action figure line. Originally thought to potentially be a single card General Hawk, it was revealed last week that he appears to be a totally new character, and rumor has it he is the subject of Brandon Fraser’s cameo appearence in the film. Time will tell if that is truly the case.
At any rate, the images are mirrored below! Enjoy.

ACToys member sherwood has posted a few pictures of a loose Rise of COBRA Cobra Commander and the upcoming Headquarters for Heroes Toys “R” Us Exclusive Firefly here. This gives us our first real glimpse at loose samples of both of these figures. While I’m still a bit on the fence about COBRA Commander, that Firefly is just awesome. He looks to be a blend of COBRA Trooper (Resolute) pieces with some gear from Sgt. Airborne and the comic pack Firefly mixed in. A thing of beauty, and he’ll fit seamlessly with the rest of my Resolute figures. Loving it.
Thanks as always to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the scoop.
