The latest edition of the Sideshow Collectibles Newsletter has arrived in member’s mailboxes, and contained within is the news that Flint is next on the docket for Sideshow’s very capable sculpting and design department! The small sneak preview makes it immediately obvious that this is a very faithful translation of everyone’s favorite Warrant Officer, and this will be one figure that will be VERY tough for me to hold off on.
Check out the sneak preview image below (or you can check out the preview itself here), and expect more images to come shortly… pre-order will launch January 28th!

While I’ve stayed relatively clear of the Sideshow Collectible 12″ figures, simply due to price point, luckily, GeneralsJoes contributor Mysterious Stranger is all over ’em! Even more luckily, he reviews ’em for me, too. Click the “Read the Rest of this Entry” link below to check out the whole thing.

HissTank forum member VIPER E7 reports that he has received his Cobra Sniper in the mail from Sideshow Collectibles. He was even cool enough to supply some nice images, which I’ve mirrored below.

Sideshow has been breaking it open the past week, with an awesome reveal of the 12″ Firefly (though my opinion seems to be in the minority on that one) and now, the latest installment of the Sideshow Q & A have revealed some awesome information about upcoming G.I. Joe offerings from the high end collectible company.
Is Sideshow going to make a Beach Head or Shock Wave G.I. Joe 12-inch figure?
Yes, Beachhead is development and will be unveiled in early 2010. Shock Wave has just recently graduated to a spot on our line list, but we have yet to begin development.
Sounds like some great stuff in the wings. To me, the coolest thing is that Sideshow seems to be eschewing the same ole same ole typical cast, and is making some efforts to produce figures that would really work in their 12″ format. Some great military specialties, and the potential for some incredible new looks. Can’t wait to see Beachhead next year, and I’m hopeful about Shockwave, too. I’ll admit, I really want to see what they can do with familiar classics like Destro and Zartan, but if they’re going to do G.I. Joe in a military format, they might as well focus on specialties that will look terrific in that larger, more intricate scale. Thumbs up.
Also, don’t forget that Firefly is still on pre-order…check out the banner below to check it out.
Thanks to Mysterious Stranger for the information!
