EBay seller ws_toys has listed the upcoming single pack version of Hawk on eBay. We had seen the version that comes with The Pit, and had seen this figure in Toy Fair pictures, but nobody was certain as to its identity, but it would appear that now we know!
You can check out the auction here, and see the auction pictures below.
You can also check out my Toy Fair 2009 single pack gallery to see more pictures of this figure in the “Future Releases” section. Those images are also mirrored below.
Thanks to cmderinchief of The Coil Club for the intel!

A TaoBao auction has revealed a bit more detail about the upcoming Duke from the Rise of COBRA toyline, showing the figure for the first time without his flak vest and without the desert camouflage. An interesting picture, which shows that this version of Duke has a pretty cool standard military look underneath the other parts and pieces. Check out the image below.

An ACToys.net forum member has posted a number of other pictures featuring the Rise of COBRA Destro figure as well as Neo-Viper, the Baroness, the MARS Trooper and Officer, as well as Accelerator Suit Ripcord. You can get an idea of the scale of Destro’s mammoth rocket launcher as well as a few nice “action shots”. The original thread can be found here, and I’ve also mirrored the images below.
Thanks as always to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for the info.

Ever since late last year, Wal-Mart computer listings have given us a great rundown of potential product that’s in the pipeline. Most recently it’s led to heartbreak with the announcements that Waves 14 & 15 as well as the latest comic packs and vehicles have all been pushed aside, but as it leads into movie stuff, I think we can start to at least somewhat depend on these listings to give us a foundation of what to expect. Keep in mind, though, as always, these are unconfirmed reports and unconfirmed listings, so take them all with a mammoth sized grain of salt.
Well the “Super Poseable Blog” has reported that Wal-Mart computers have revealed the following information:

Normally I reserve things like this for a “Kick Ass Custom of the Week” but in this case, I just gotta focus on the concept of this whole idea. I’ve been a fan of Freedom’s work w/ Vexar designs for a long time, though haven’t really mentioned it here. But with the debut of this “Build-A-HQ” concept on the JBL Forums I just had to make mention of it!
Freedom doesn’t just show us what he made, though, he gives us some amazing break downs of the materials, the measurements, and the whole process for building the Tactical Ops Center, which is step 1 in the Build-A-HQ process. Even as a standalone piece, the Tactical Ops Center is cool enough, but looking at what he has planned for the full headquarters, I absolutely cannot WAIT to see this come to fruition. This could be very useful as I continue to work on the big final chapter to my Dio-Story universe. Check out tons of details on Vexar’s Pages below:
These aren’t your typical cardboard dioramas, these are full blown plastic styrene, professional looking items that’ll work in any collection or display. Love how these came out. Nice work!
