Ripcord (Accelerator Suit) from Rise of COBRA Wave 1 on eBay

ws_toys strikes again with another auction of a loose sample from the upcoming first wave of Rise of COBRA action figures due this summer.  Ripcord in his “Delta” Accelerator Suit is now available here.

Best thing about these auctions, though, are the great, detailed pictures.  Check them out below:

I know there have been plenty of complainers in regards to these Accelerator Suits, but I’m not one of them, especially seeing them in plastic form.  I think these look pretty nasty, and I definitely plan on adding Ripcord and Duke in their Delta suits to my collection.  Hell, I might pick up some extras and outfit a whole team.  I loved the Mega Marines back in the 90’s, and in my mind, these fit right in with that concept.

A busy weekend at TaoBao

Along with the mysterious auction for the crimson-themed Tomax figure, TaoBao has also given birth to a number of other auctions for upcoming items.  From Combat Heroes to The Rise of COBRA, things look to be heating up in the G.I. Joe pre-production world.  If you like what you see, you may want to jump on it, especially on these Combat Heroes that were stated to be cancelled in the latest round of Q & A’s.  Check out the auction links below, and the image gallery at the end of the page.  Once again, full credit to HissCommander of The Terror Drome for passing along the intel.

A strange looking test shot of a potential upcoming motorcycle was also posted.  This certainly looks to be the same as the Ninja Lightning motorcycle that was released for the Valor Vs. Venom line, so it remains to be seen if this is something specific to the movie or what:

There was also an auction for a non-colored test shot of the upcoming Rise of COBRA Breaker posted here.

Certainly an influx of interesting G.I. Joe related product as the movie inches closer.  Keep your eyes peeled, and if you see something cool, please let me know!
